Great work. Can’t wait to find some time to update and test this. Life’s been far too busy recently…

So, trying to get Grid Ops up and running. I’m using the Arturia adapter and picked up a micro->mini usb adapter. When I connect the grid to power (no teletype connection yet), it flashes some of the buttons in the top left momentarily - appears to be getting power. Teletype shows 2.3 RC 1 when I boot.

I have clock coming into TR 1. My script is

1:
G.REC 0 0 8 8 0 1
TR.P 1

So I can see this script is triggering over and over correctly from the LED on the TT. If I go to the grid view on the TT, I can see the rectangle outline I’m expecting. If I connect the grid to TT, nothing happens.

Do I need to update the grid firmware too? What else could I be missing?

#188

you shouldn’t have to update the grid firmware.

assuming everything is connected properly it could be that the brightness level is too low to see. try changing it to:

G.REC 0 0 8 8 0 15

and see if that makes a difference.

#189

No change after altering the brightness level. Wonder if the adapter I bought could be bad…

#190

yeah, it’s likely that it’s not properly connected.

could somebody who uses a similar set up post in more details how exactly you have it connected? also, is the arturia adapter available for sale separately? i can try and get one and document the process.

#191

It is.

Arturia adapter

Can’t think what I’d have wrong. The connection that normally goes to the PC is going to TT. The connection that would normally go to Beatstep is going to the grid. The only new piece is the micro->mini adapter. The rest is known to be working.

Thanks for helping think through it.

and it works when you connect it this way to the PC?

#193

Hadn’t thought to try that since it hasn’t quite registered with me yet that grid could be used in a non-modular context. :slight_smile:

No, it doesn’t see it. Also connecting it to ansible this way doesn’t seem to work - I don’t see the any buttons lit there either.

Reconnected the BSP to the PC and it recognized it immediately. Reconnected grid directly to ansible and it works as expected. I guess I’d have to conclude it’s a bad micro->mini USB adapter if this is working for others.

sorry it doesn’t work - it’s weird that such a simple part would fail but i had various luck with usb cables as well…

#195

Yep. This is why I was trying to find the adapterless solution! I’ll take it back and exchange for another or see if they have a different brand. I’ll get there! Thanks again.

#196

Yep. Faulty USB adapter. New one of same model, and I’m in the Grid Ops business!

When I hot connect grid to teletype to test some grid ops on the hardware, the teletype seems to halt activity for maybe 100-200ms and then resumes. Not a deal breaker or anything but just wondering if that’s expected.

#200

yep, that’s normal. not sure if that’s something that could be improved.

This is exciting! I’ve been too busy to work on any music and now that I have a little time, a new present. Thanks to everyone who is working on it.

I think I can help test the RC some tonight or tomorrow. Are there any areas that could use some attention? FYI, I’ve only got the Teletype at the moment.

#202

anything listed in the top post would be a good area to test, but even just using it normally and seeing if anything doesn’t seem to work would be really helpful. i would say definitely keep an eye on script editing - multi line selection, moving lines, copy/pasting.

#203

Vim ops, one step closer :smiling_imp:

Cool, I’ll start with seeing how my most recent scene works and then test out the new stuff. Thanks again!

So far so good for me. Love the new parameter ops!

Tomorrow I want to see what I can do with the Grid ops despite not having a Grid. I might have missed it in one of the 2.3/Grid Ops related threads but is there an updated list of the keyboard commands? I found this:

and I just wanted to be certain I wasn’t missing anything.
