Thanks for these tutorials, very clear and concise!

So I’m trying these out for the first time and reached the fifth example (output) but getting no sound, plus repeating errors in matron:

stack traceback:
/home/we/dust/code/tutorial/5_output.lua:114: in field 'event'
/home/we/norns/lua/core/metro.lua:165: in function 
</home/we/norns/lua/core/metro.lua:162>
lua: /home/we/dust/code/tutorial/5_output.lua:114: attempt to 
call a nil value (field 'hz')
stack traceback:
/home/we/dust/code/tutorial/5_output.lua:114: in field 'event'
/home/we/norns/lua/core/metro.lua:165: in function 
</home/we/norns/lua/core/metro.lua:162>

Also sixth example (input) wont load either.
(I recently updated norns to 190801 if that makes a difference?)

Cheers

Did you SYSTEM>RESET or otherwise reboot norns since installing the tutorials? It needs this to find the OutputTutorial engine used in the scripts.

Ack, you’re right of course. Reset fixed it. THANKYOU! :sweat_smile:

I’m getting an error as I have an old (?) tutorial installed which I’m not able to overwrite. I looked at this for a solution.

From there I got this:

git init .
git remote add -t \* -f origin <repository-url>
git checkout master

…which doesn’t work for me either. I still only have tutorials that go up to part 9. What am I doing wrong? Thank you!

You could just delete the old folder and use git clone https://github.com/neauoire/tutorial.git to re-install.

or, maybe use git pull inside the old tutorial folder to update it.

I don’t really know how to remove files so I tried git pull

I got this:

error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
	1_blank.lua
	3_interaction.lua
	4_animation.lua
	6_input.lua
Please commit your changes or stash them before you merge.
Aborting

options

  1. stash and pull
cd ~/dust/code/tutorial
git stash
git pull
  1. remove and re-clone
cd ~/dust/code
rm -rf tutorial
git clone https://github.com/neauoire/tutorial.git

For completeness!

  1. throw away local changes and pull
cd ~/dust/code/tutorial
git reset --hard
git pull

I’m ending my first week with a DIY shield and I did a quick run on all the serie. Everything is working and clear.
It gives motivations to go back to it to go deeper.
Thank you.

if you’re cool with it being made public, i’d happily do a video session to share in our docs :slight_smile:

absolutely. a group learning session is ideal. Sweet!

I’m also a visual-type learner and would love to see some more video resources for scripting for norns. Even though I have a couple of perfectly good books on Max programming, I find it a million times clearer combing the Tube for tutorials.

A post was merged into an existing topic: Approaching: norns

Newbz question. How do I add scripts/apps(?) that aren’t in the library to it? It’s the only thing I haven’t figured out. For example I want to add MLR64. Thanks in advance.

hey hey!

  • download the script and unzip it
  • if downloaded from github, remove any trailing “main” or “master” from the folder name
  • use one of the methods outlined here to add the script to the code folder on your norns: https://monome.org/docs/norns/manage/
  • (depending on whether the script has an engine, shut down norns and reboot)
