thanks for the info @tehn! a fix would be great, I have a gig this friday and this is kind of problematic, hope the fix becomes available before friday
this is a complex issue and i am sorry to suggest that i would recommend a workaround for friday.
hopefully we can fix it, but last time we saw this sort of issue it ended up being a rabbit hole.
oh ok.
this got me confused, thought it was a simple fix I have to find a workaround then good luck with that rabbit hole!
Do you know how to connect over serial or SSH? It would be useful if we could determine if just some processes died or the whole system and then check if we can fine some info about why in the logs.
yes I know how to connect via SSH, but I don’t know how to view or get you the logs. with your guidance I can try it.
which grid edition and norns (2018/2019, shield, fates) are you using?
having a hard time replicating the grid unplug bug, but the midi unplug bug i can replicate so far
factory norns, first generation and latest grid, don’t know the year exactly.
which firmware version are you running? I had a strange issue a while back that seemed to be fixed during an update. The grid, if unplugged would restart norns if I didn’t use the far right (closest to the edge) USB port.
I’ll test different usb ports to see if problem persists and report back.
edit: @Jonny it happens on every USB port, even without crow or wi-fi thing connected to norns, just using grid and switch.
edit: thank you so much @tehn and @ngwese for the fast fix! latest norns update solved the crashing problem amazing and fast work guys!
sorry to bump this y’all but did a past norns update make the monome switch suitable? would love to use switch to change between norns/ansible!!
what is the symptom? which devices, etc?
@tehn, I dont own one currently. Just saw a used one pop up and was curious how stable hotswapping has been recently before I grab it!
Edit: Above it looks like @sno had noticed that a norns update in January helped some of the past issues?
i believe it should be ok. keep in mind that arcs do not hotswap due to a firmware issue… though i haven’t looked back at this forever, as nobody has brought it up (?)
Yeah, I’m not sure if its still an issue. I’d be doing it with a 128 Varibright between ansible & norns. Maybe i’ll just give it a shot and give a bug report if there are any issues.
@ludvista29 I haven’t use this combo for a while, but after a quick test grid does not show up in the devices of norns when using a switch… can anyone confirm, @tehn? i’ll make another test with different usb cables.
edit: all working ok, it was a bad cable, sorry!
