To me that sounds a bit dangerous – you could get into a situation where a script keeps hijacking the screen and you can’t stop it or do much of anything.

I can confirm that I am also seeing all variables count up when I try , and not update the time

A LAST 1

My build is 58DCD46

Thanks for the confirmation! Maybe I’m seeing things but at least I’m not alone :grinning:

I did try with CTRL-F.. but doesn’t this mute scripts rather than the actual trigger outputs? If I have TR.P 1 in one script and also in another, then its not really muted. In other words, the cables I am “pulling out” are the trigger outputs , not inputs, for clarification.

CTRL-F and MUTE apply to incoming triggers. there are no equivalent shortcuts or ops for trigger outputs, but you could use a trick - set trigger pulse length to 0: TR.TIME x 0 where x is the trigger number.

Thanks!

I can confirm that LAST is working again (building from GitHub)! Just a heads up: building the docs (again from GitHub) is currently failing, but the .hex is fine.

Thanks again!

thanks for confirming!

what error are you getting when building the docs? it’s likely from me adding new sections but since i don’t have the toolchain set up for building docs i can’t verify.

Isn’t the build stuff (latex + friends, I guess) included in the docker image, or did I provide those myself ???

Anyways, first stop is here:

l.1233 \begin{op}{MI.\$ x / MI.$ x y}
                                     
? 

Next (after pressing enter):

! Extra }, or forgotten $.
<recently read> \egroup 
                        
l.1233 \begin{op}{MI.\$ x / MI.$ x y}
                                     
? 

Next

! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text> 
                $
l.1235 \end{op}
               
? 

And then it goes on on each press of enter a few more times…

Hope that helps :slight_smile:

thank you! looks like i’ll need to get the toolchain set up, no idea how to fix that (not using the docker image here).

even with the posted warnings, it’s possible that somebody might forget to backup scenes to a USB stick before reflashing the firmware.

i suggest that we update flash.sh and update_firmware.command files so that it creates a backup of the existing firmware/scenes before flashing a new one. it will only take a few extra seconds but this way at least you can restore it and backup the scenes if you forgot to do it. thoughts?

Sounds like a good idea. When reflashing firmware I’m always super careful with my scenes. I’m not sure I’d trust the flash.sh to save me, but an extra level of safety net is a really good idea!

That would be great!

Hi, I have had a tough bit of trouble finding direct information on this;

What is the status of potential ghost scripts and how do I access them? I wanted to put my 16n faderbank read on one of them.

do you mean shadow scripts? they were never implemented.

Ah. Well, that there answers my question! Thanks! With a L function, I’m sure I’ll always have a line of space to have them around.

Thanks!

Looks like the $ in the new op names is interfering with LaTeX, which uses that symbol to start or end an in-line math section. I can take a look if you didn’t already.

that would be great! i thought it might have something to do with that and checked what the doc for $ looked like and didn’t see any additional formatting there.

@desolationjones have your ops found their way into the consolidated beta yet? No pressure or anything but I also don’t want you to think there’s no interest. I’m eager to try these out, preferably alongside the binary and hex entry ops.

They have not! I had to RMA my CPU so the compy has been sitting idle. But the new CPU is working well and I hope to make time soon for this pull request. I am also eager to try the hex entry mode :smiley:
