just encountered a strange issue after updating: I was running cheat codes with pad-to-note setup to sequence jf & w/syn with banks b and c and trying to jump around the live buffer with bank a, with my modular out going into norns inputs, monitoring with the norns headphone output. Sequencing was working great, and sound was coming through norns to the headphones, but the cheat codes live buffer wasnât picking up anything when I set it to record. The softcut adc input was turned up, so I checked levels, and this was the really weird part: even though I was hearing sound coming out of nornsâs headphone output, nothing was showing up on the input or output meters. If anyoneâs able to reproduce this issue after updating or offer any ideas as to a fix, Iâd be very thankful! I can also share logs if thatâd be helpful
this will sound weird, but is it possible you had stuff plugged into the norns outputs instead of the inputs? this will cause whatever youre sending to also show up on the headphone ouputs, but of course itâs not really being captured.
(with the lack of labelling i actually find myself doing this not super infrequently on stock norns.)
I gave it a spin yesterday and was working like a charm! I was having some odd freezes which I speculate my mac and matron where causing. So far yesterday I had a decently lengthed session with no lock ups.
Hey,
I was wondering about a little issue Iâm having.
When Iâve used my Norns after the update (using for a while running CC2 and Rebound mainly and whilst plugged into power) the battery runs down to 0%.
My reading next to the battery is at 8mA - Iâve tried various sockets etc and itâs not going any higher than that.
Before the update Iâm not entirely sure what the reading was but whilst plugged to power Norns never ran down from 100%.
Any idea what might be causing this?
Thanks!
Aaron
I also noticed that after I updated my battery life just started dropping while plugged in. I hadnât paid attention to it before so not sure if that is new behavior or not.
Whats your mA at?
Mines now reading 0mA and Norns is sitting at around 1%.
Getting multiple low battery notifications as well.
EDIT
Unplugged 2021(USB-C) grid and the mA goes up to around 100mA.
Once grid is plugged back in the mA heads straight back down to 0/1mA.
Certainly wasnât happening before update so Iâm guessing its a bug of sorts.
Iâm going to leave Norns alone and plugged in for while without the grid attached to see if it charges up - fingers crossed.
I do have the supplied power supply and have tried one other but the problem still remains.
Itâs when the grid is plugged in, the mA reduces rapidly and Norns doesnât hold itâs charge even though mA isnât dropping into the minus.
updated here to 230405. not using the given power supply, but using another usb-2-walloutlet style power supply(belonged to a âblinkâ camera), while plugged in, my batteryâs sitting at 0 mA @ 100% (battery doesnât drain while plugged in⌠(is â0mAâ normal? [edit: iâm thinking so because iâve used it heavily last few nights while plugged in, so it must be fully charged by now]))
Hereâs a vid to show whatâs happening in terms of battery draw.
Sorry for the poor quality, had to compress to get it to the right size.
Hope it gives a little more insight into the problem.
(I left my Norns alone for while, switched off, with the grid detached and it got up to 100% again)
i think maybe thereâs no problem then(?)
also, you originally wrote it was â8mAâ but the vid shows it intermittently going to â-8mAââŚ
if norns is losing power while there is a positive number, that means charging, then maybe there is a battery issue?
just to be clear, @Justmat wrote that meaning âpositive numberâ for current implies âchargingâ, therefore if charge is being lost while itâs positive maybe some issueâŚthen again, positive, i thought, just meant thereâs more âchargeâ than âdrawâ occurring, whereas negative means thereâs more âdrawâ than âchargeâ occurring(and the display can also be inexact because its polling an average over a general capacitor-style âslewâ)⌠but either way⌠seems the opposite of what the video is showing?(the video is showing intermittent display of a negative number for current/mA while plugged in, with no loss of power from â100%â, which seems normal, maybe thereâs just an intermittent heavier draw every now and then?)
also, so far, doesnât seem specific to this update(maybe if @Zeke_B can provide more detail on what they saw)?
Problem â engaging with the âBattery Warningâ field, mistakenly by using K3, will cause norns menu-navigation to be trapped within this screen of the settings menu from then on
Steps To Repro:
Navigate to the âhomeâ/main menu of norns, then go into System>Settings
Scroll down using enc2 to highlight the âBattery Warningâ field
Press k3
Results:
Norns is trapped on this screen of the settings menu and pressing k2 will no longer allow you to back out like normal(and though enc3 works to select other items in this menu including the âRESETâ function, activating âRESETâ from here using k3 is not possible - had to use the hard-reset button under my stock norns to test this out⌠edit: oops - i just remembered i couldâve also used â;restartâ from within maiden - for anyone else trying to confirm/verify).
Expected Results:
since this field is just a simple toggle âON/OFFâ, pressing k3 here could flip the state of this field(?), but in any case, pressing k2 should allow us to back out of this menu/area/screen(as well as the other usual functionalities working here: i.e. k3 should work on the âRESETâ part of this menu screen), after trying k3 on the âBattery Warningâ field.
Additional Details:
-fiddled with k1, during this problem, and the font changed to the font of my app, but didnât actually go into my app(so maybe thatâs the same issue where all the buttons become unresponsive after pressing k3 on the âBattery Warningâ field?)
-itâs possible with this bug in play to navigate into the âPasswordâ section[edit: password can be changed by accident](and backing out of âPasswordâ section strangely involves pressing either k2 or k3, and then turning enc2⌠but then after you back out of password, youâre still stuck in the âSettingsâ menu)
-this is on Norns update 230405(w/ nothing but power and a Panda Wireless PAU06 wifi usb stick plugged in)
Hope it helps.
EDIT: FIXED (resolved on github, fix should be in the next update)
Just bustinâ your chops.
just to be clear, 
Hope it helps.
