toga: TouchOSC grid and arc controller for monome norns

wangpy · 2021-08-29T23:21:16.392Z

Definitely interested!

wangpy · 2021-08-30T08:04:29.202Z

I just tried cheat codes 2 and found the grid LED state is not displayed. Just looked into it and fixed it. Please update toga and try again. Thanks!

Sorry, just found I forgot to push changes to Github. The new version should be

Can you please explain how you fixed this? I’m trying toga with mlr but i have some issues on CUT mode. It’s like it doesn’t listen to the touch on the grid in this mode.
thanks

Hey! Sorry I’ve been on vacation, just got back. So with MLR I noticed the maiden console was saying it was trying to light LEDs that were off the toga grid, which effected its ability to receive inputs and update the leds properly. I made some modifications that seem to be working, I’ll send them along. I will say I did this while pretty new to Norns so hopefully this didn’t effect any other MLR functionality but it was working for me. I’ll post it to GitHub to link now

Hey thank you JaxD! Sorry i’m new to the community where have you posted the link?

Well, this is tantalisingly close - awake + toga + TouchOSC up and running smoothly, on the first try - but only on my Windows 10 laptop…

Installed toga + TouchOSC, and configured on both my iPad, and my iPhone - but not a squeak.

I’m thinking:
1 Coffee, then
2 Restart the two iOS devices, re-check the configs and generally prod randomly at whatever settings I can find…

My iPad TouchOSC works fine with Awake but won’t play nice with Archologies or Buoys. Keeps doubling inputs, not sure where to proceed.

Anyone else with problems holding pads?
In animator, for example, the script doesn’t recognize holding one pad and pressing another.

Did you ever find a fix? Experiencing this issue in Takt when muting tracks

mcarth · 2022-02-16T04:41:03.352Z

Sadly I couldn’t find a fix for this

(Apologies if this is the wrong thread; if this question should go in the boingg thread, please move as appropriate.)

I am having some trouble toga to work with boingg

I followed the instructions as outlined in the first post (these same steps worked for me to use touchosc/toga with awake without issue).

I am not familiar with coding for norns, but one difference between the awake script and boingg that I notice is that in awake, the grid.connect line in maiden is as follows: g = grid.connect()

While in boingg, it is: local g = grid.connect(1)

As noted, I am not a programmer, and not sure what that 1 parameter in the boingg code means.

Any tips you could provide to help me get boingg working with toga/touchosc appreciated.

Justmat · 2022-04-12T12:59:52.440Z

the 1 is just saying “connect to the first entry in the grid vport list”. you can just leave the number out, and it will default to 1 anyway.

chrish · 2022-04-12T13:07:02.583Z

Thank you for the explanation

That explains why removing the 1 from the boingg script didn’t seem to have any effect/resolve my challenge.

I copy/pasted the below error text that appears in matron when trying to load the script through maiden:

norns.script.load("code/boingg/boingg-toga.lua")
# script clear
# script load: /home/we/dust/code/boingg/boingg-toga.lua

“boingg-toga.lua” is the name I gave to the copy of boingg in which I only added the following lines of code above the grid.connect line:

util.file_exists(_path.code.."toga") and include "toga/lib/togagrid" or grid
util.file_exists(_path.code.."toga") and include "toga/lib/togaarc" or arc

This the same modification I made to the awake and mlr scripts on my shield (full updated w/ new image), both of which are functioning correctly.

If anybody has any thoughts that might point me in the right direction, I’d be glad to hear them.

xmacex · 2022-04-14T06:08:38.856Z

I see that the first of those two lines does not start with util.. Would adding it to match the doc above make it work?

chrish · 2022-04-14T12:56:43.406Z

Ahh good catch! I just checked and that was a copy/paste error when making my post above (will go back and fix that in my earlier post).
The actual script on my shield does include util. at the beginning of that line.
Unfortunately, still get the “error: load fail” message when trying to run the script.
Thank you so much for catching that mistake, though!

slink · 2022-06-10T02:43:02.306Z

This is awesome! Saving up to buy a Norns when it’s available, and this will make that purchase even more worthwhile, until I can afford the real grid and arc!

Bengt · 2022-06-16T08:22:36.257Z

Interested as well! New to Norns but got Toga working with some scripts. Doesn’t seem to be able to start recording in mlr though… The recording LED’s doesn’t get fully lit when touching them.

Condor · 2022-06-28T10:08:20.524Z

This is so cool, got it it work with Awake, but on cheat codes 2, the Grid is rotated. I can only see the first 8 rows. A little help is needed. Thanks
