Teletype ergonomics - firmware fix?

EqualTemperament · 2018-09-16T23:30:12.248Z

scanner_darkly:

the op is DEVICE.FLIP , no parameters, as the name implies it’ll flip the current state. inputs/outputs are flipped as well. it will remember the state between power downs.

The good news:

DEVICE.FLIP flipped my screen upside down.

The bad news:

DEVICE.FLIP again does not seem to switch it back.

Tried a power cycle and tried to issue the op again but I’m still upside down.

EDIT: Please disregard the italicized bad news. I was typing DEVICE.FLIP into one of the scripts instead of the immediate command window. Apparently I don’t read so well upside down. Seems to be good, and I’ll do some more testing.

super tempted to change it so that to flip it back you have to type PILF.ECIVED

Here’s the correct way to mount a teletype in a vertical case. Not a single cable in the way. Bliss. Thank you @scanner_darkly !

Pretty happy with with my tt in a vertical case in the bottom row as is, but thank you so much having made this an option!!

Just flipped mine over and it works like a charm. Thanks scanner_darkly !

But I need to stick a reminder to back up my scenes at the top of my “how to update” text file So much for my attempt to impersonate Ryoji Ikeda…

Yep - me too. I think my scenes sound better the second time around though

sorry about that! i’ll make sure to include the usual warning whenever i post a new firmware.

SimonKirby · 2018-09-25T23:22:03.165Z

No need to apologise! I would’ve done it even with a warning. I think I’m beyond the critical age where I can ever learn that I should back up before upgrading anything

Also want to report that the new firmware did solve the problems with my Vortex keyboard missing key presses etc.
Works like a charm!

Thank you!

I try the DEVICE.FLIP command but that don’t flip the screen…

EDIT: I update the firmware
all work fine
thank you!!!

scanner_darkly · 2018-12-09T18:07:34.154Z

it’s not in the official 3.0 release (it was added after), are you using a beta posted here: Teletype 3.+ feature requests and discussion?

Mooko · 2018-12-09T18:24:14.237Z

EDIT: I update the firmware
all work fine
thank you!!!

With the latest 3.0 firmware, device.flip turns off my trigger inputs :-/ Had to flip it back to get them to work…If I get some time i’ll look into it.

Can you try the build in this post? I think I broke this when adding SCRIPT.POL and it was fixed shortly after release.
