Norns: update 210114

alley_cam · 2021-01-16T09:20:02.043Z

Try a system reset and getting closer to wifi router / delete then re-add network

SPIKE · 2021-01-16T09:33:36.874Z

small persistent problem still occurring…
updated all three norns and that all went as plan.
did my usual test with MANGL and all is well.

norns #2 however…
left it on for a bit and after the screen went to sleep it would not wake up.
the LED on the back was blinking.
turned back on the WiFi via a USB power switch and sent a ;restart from maiden.

not sure why this is only happening on norns #2.

thanks for any help!

oh yeah…
one other weird thing.
(not sure if this matters but…)
with norns #2…in maiden i noticed it looked different than the other two norns’ maiden windows.

it didn’t have the new refresh all and update all button across the top.
like this:

refresh_all1908×986 48 KB

it just looked like the old maiden view.
weird…

swhic · 2021-01-16T10:18:11.603Z

it doesn’t seem to work…how big is this update? what’s the alternative update method? thanks!

alley_cam · 2021-01-16T10:19:48.390Z

Are you on a Shield or factory Norns?

swhic · 2021-01-16T10:21:12.433Z

factory…

alley_cam · 2021-01-16T10:23:04.773Z

I’ve found with the included wifi nub I need to get pretty close to my wifi router (nub is fine but my old Airport Extreme is a little retro and slow)

What have you tried so far? Is the network page showing a proper activated wifi connection?

swhic · 2021-01-16T10:25:45.256Z

it’s all sorted now, thanks for your help. I should be more patient

If you refresh the browser window 1-2 times for norns #2 it should update. I mentioned up thread that there is (or was) a browser cache system which is causing this - that cache has been removed as part of this release but it may take a refresh or two in the browser to purge the previous version.

Heads up: I had a keyboard.lua script in my app’s (Awake-mod) lib that caused loading problems for all scripts once a load was attempted. Once I renamed it, the issue was resolved - plus all my keyboard functionality was broken since I used the old keyboard commands (keyboard.event) and my script referenced the keys by number. Changing to keyboard.code and referencing the codes as strings made everything work. Makes the code a lot more readable - great addition!

FleetingBreath · 2021-01-16T17:24:03.222Z

Using a Norns Fates here, keep getting an “up to date.” message when attempting to update on wifi.
UPDATE: After a reset, and deleting and attempting to add my network, I now have NO sound and it refuses to connect to my wifi.
Time for a hard reset?

okyeron · 2021-01-16T17:39:05.923Z

Fates update is not available yet. I expect I’ll get the fork updated and tested later today or tomorrow.

Please follow up on the Fates thread if your no-sound issue persists.

UPDATE

minor typo hotfix added to the update which affects anyone who might be fiddling a bunch with the reverb settings. (if you don’t use the reverb, you’d likely not notice).

you can re-run the update by holding K1 while selecting SYSTEM > UPDATE

nosollution · 2021-01-16T18:28:01.110Z

Can this be disabled?

ngwese:

One additional detail - maiden will now attempt to download the latest version of the script catalog(s) when norns boots and it has a network connection.

ngwese · 2021-01-16T18:42:28.746Z

Not currently but that could probably be added as an option. Is the concern privacy or something else?

The motivation for the added behavior was to reduce what has become a frequent source confusion and questions - script X doesn’t appear in maiden.

nosollution · 2021-01-16T19:07:35.177Z

Primary desire is just to align with my general approach; I don’t have any device doing auto-anything if I have the option.

Secondary question is whether there is version checking baked in; I’m often 1-2 system versions behind and so would want to avoid script updating if there were breaking changes.

ngwese · 2021-01-16T19:12:56.614Z

Just to be clear the only thing which is updating is the list of available scripts, specifically this file.

The scripts installed on the device are not automatically updated.

nosollution:

whether there is version checking baked in

Not in the traditional “package manager sense”, my last post in the maiden thread touches on this to some degree.

nosollution · 2021-01-16T19:18:11.644Z

Roger that. Apologies for the misinterp. Thanks @ngwese!

SPIKE · 2021-01-17T08:13:14.915Z

EDIT

i think it’s the MIDI Fighter MIDI Twister causing this problem again.
powered it off and now norns #2 is behaving.

booting up things again for the night…
norns #2 is now booting up and then after the digi-dust it goes blank.

was able to power the WiFi and send ;restart.
this is what maiden reported:

SCRIPT ERROR: NO SCRIPT

JaggedNZ · 2021-01-17T20:16:18.164Z

I also misinterpreted that as updating all scripts and was about to post a big “this will cause problems” …
Updating the list of available scripts on boot makes far more sense.

okyeron · 2021-01-17T23:12:27.807Z

tehn:

sequentially push and hold K3 K2 K1 for 10sec and all the software will restart.

Perhaps a note to add when this gets added to the docs, The sequentially part appears to be very important. (Testing on Shield) you must do K3, then K2, then K1 in order and then holding all for 10 secs.

Hitting them all at once did nothing, hitting K1, then K2, then K3 also did not work.
