I discovered the f8r, might be a cool addition to my teletype centric world. Searched, but couldn’t find the answer, so: anyone knows if it will work with teletype (i2c, the f8r in follower mode)?
I’m definitely interested too
From what I’ve understand it uses the same Teletype FADER OP than the 16n I’m I wright ?
Pinging @desolationjones I think he might answer ?

Yes, F8R works swell with Teletype fresh out of the box. There should be a selector switches for Follower/Leader (my F8R are beta hardware without this switch), and inverters if you want to flip upside-down. If you want to run multiple F8R you will need to configure their I2C addresses within the firmware. The only quirk is with 8 faders the values from FB 1 through FB 8 are duplicated on FB 9 through FB 16.
You will notice that the FB TT OPs now need to be calibrated before use, so with all faders at zero please run:
L 1 8: FADER.CAL.MIN I
Then put all faders to max and run:
L 1 8: FADER.CAL.MAX I
The calibration is stored automatically to Teletype flash memory.
