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.

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!

#205

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.

#206

i can’t remember if i documented it elsewhere, i really should. the above still applies, but instead of CTRL it’s now ALT and there is another shortcut, ALT-\, which will toggle the control view on and off (which shows the outline of grid controls).

#207

oh by the way, I’m pretty sure I left my synth on and untouched for 90 minutes the other day, but no screensaver came up.

#208

Funnily enough, I left mine on yesterday (2.3 RC2) and when I came back, it was flipping through the script pages very quickly, as if a square bracket was held down.

I thought it was probably just haunted, but now you mention it…

did you have grid connected at the time? was it in grid control mode? also, when screensaver wasn’t working - what screen was it on?

#210

I think it was always just in the Live screen whenever I left it alone (don’t have a grid, so no to those questions)

#211

@scanner_darkly For me, I think keyboard was connected and not in grid control mode. I will try leaving it on again.

#212

i’ve posted the updated shortcuts for the grid visualizer here: https://github.com/scanner-darkly/teletype/wiki/GRID-VISUALIZER

i’ll update the video as well when i get a chance, since it still references the old Ctrl shortcuts.

Im in a bit of a pickle and @facetimecontinuum said it best in the Ansible Earthsea thread when he wrote:

"Im a bit embarrassed to ask you to walk me through this considering how much time and effort you’ve put into this project but… Im struggling with the hex file. I know basically nothing beyond the most basic functions of a computer so i’m most certainly missing something (many things) i’m on a mac by the way.

I did a few quick searches in the forum and the wider internet and it seems (perhaps) a zip file with the flash command would help?

I have successfully updated ansible firmware in the past with a command file.

i’m not confident that im using these terms correctly so again I apologize for asking you to hold my hand through this"

Im having a hard time finding a file type that I’m familiar with.
Can someone please point me in the right direction - whether its somewhere to learn about the .hex file or possibly another file that I overlooked?
Thank you so much!

#214

so first step, download one of the official release zip files. when you unzip it you should have the command you need. all good so far. now, replace the teletype.hex file that was packaged in that zip file with the one from the release candidate. make sure that it is named teletype.hex. Finish up by running that command.

in short, the .command file is agnostic about the contents of teletype.hex, it just wants a file named such to be in the same folder.

@alanza - thanks for helping with this!

let’s see if this fixes the screensaver issues… also added a fix for PARAM returning 0 when used in the init script and IN and PARAM being reset to 0 after INIT.DATA (thanks to @rikrak for finding these!).

release candidate 3:

teletype.hex
teletype.zip

Is there anything in particular you’d like to have tested at this point? Or is it more do what you’re going to do and report any problems if they come up?

Do the grid ops for XYP and GOL work at this point? They say work in progress so I wasn’t sure if they were going in to 2.3. Was thinking about having a go with the XYP.

#219

Has anyone else has been able to update to 2.3 release candidate 3? For some reason the update command just exits for me.

Other teletype.hex versions update with no problems, so it doesn’t seem like it’s the .command file or the USB connection… :thinking:
