Yes from maiden. i can’t seem to find a place in maiden to collect the file, if you understand.

#68

Another Norns beginner question; does anyone happen to know if the templates work with the Android version of TouchOSC?

#69

It’s not included In the maiden
script repository. It must be installed manually by downloading from GitHub.

Should work ok

Thanks in 20 characters.

Update: Got TouchOSC, downloaded oscgrid and copied it into dust/code on the Norns Shield and then the grid128_arc4 template to an Android tablet. Found the template and loaded it into TouchOsc; ran oscgrid/load and set up the IP address in TouchOSc, and barring a few minor glitches it’s all working, thought the lack of feedback on TouchOSC makes it tricky to use. Perhaps I’ve not got the IP addresses set correctly yet - AHA: it was me not putting the tablet’s IP address in line 11 of load.lua that resulted in no feedback on the TouchOSC grid; now it’s there.

Awake is rather usable, FM7 works quite well, and Strum seems to - others I’ve tried out either lock the Norns keys and encoders until a hard rest is done, presumably due to the refresh issues noted above - or are obscure for now (eg Arcologies).

But it’s a great hack to play with, and makes me want to get a proper grid even more now. Nice work!

Hello everyone,

Firstly I’d like to say big thanks! This is my first post but I have found your help invaluable starting my journey with norns. What an amazing thing.

I’m stumped on something that I’m hoping is an easy fix. I have bought an assembled norns shield which I have been very much enjoying over the past few days - ‘compass’ particularly. I can’t afford a grid right now but am desperate to begin exploring ‘cheat codes’ without grid. I downloaded TouchOSC for my android phone, the problem I have is that I cannot get TouchOSC to recognise norns as a host.

I have loaded the iphone template (looks amazing by the way) and they are both connected to the same wifi. I have tried using hotspot from the norns. I have tried manually changing the IP address in parameters / OSC setup. The port outgoing is 10111 and the port incoming is 9000 (this matches the settings on norns) to no avail!

I found an old thread which suggested loading load.lua script @okyeron https://github.com/okyeron/oscgrid. Which I tried but nothing happened. I have since run the unload.lua script.

I have scoured threads for an answer - it seems like such a simple fix. I wonder if someone will be able to help. Thanks

Cheat codes has its own TouchOSC template and implementation - so you would NOT use oscgrid with CC at all.

CC OSC stuff should “just work”.

Double check the cheat codes documentation for setup/config?

#75

Thank you for replying so swiftly! This was my thinking too. There is no connectivity at all between CC and OSC, they’re on the same wifi but OSC is not showing norns as a host. It’s bizarre.

I keep referring back to the cheat codes +OSC supplement PDF but can’t get past instruction 3 (select norns as a host) as it’s simply not an option.

Very frustrating… can’t help but think I must have missed something…

Maybe @dan_derks has answers for using the android version of TouchOSC with CC?

#77

While I don’t have an answer… I can say, don’t feel bad that you can’t figure it out yet. A lot of forehead smack moments with some of this stuff :wink:

Haha, thank you. There’s been a lot of that today. It feels like I’m at the bottom of a very tall mountain but I’m determined to succeed!

#79

Good luck - I didn’t have much luck yet with TouchOSC on Android as yet, though I did get it working with Cheat Codes, albeit very slowly.

#80

hi sophie! sorry to hear about the trouble :confused:

this doesn’t sound like a CC-specific issue, as not being able to connect to norns as a host doesn’t depend on any script functionality.

to confirm:

  • what IP address is your norns displaying?
  • could you share a screenshot of your OSC settings from TouchOSC?
  • are you able to use this non-script-specific OSC template to control levels on norns? https://github.com/felart/Norns-TouchOSC

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the quick reply!

The IP address on the norns was showing 192.168 until I changed it to match the Local IP Address showing in Touch OSC 192.0.0.4.

I opened the template in TouchOSC but couldn’t control the levels on norns.

It’s likely you need to enter the norns IP address manually for the Host field in TouchOSC.

(although it seems a bit odd that you’d have two devices on the same wifi network with 192.168.x.x and 192.0.0.x addresses)

ah! this is the IP listed in the cheat codes script, but that’s just a placeholder. let’s ignore cheat codes for now and work on getting any TouchOSC connectivity going.

the IP address on your norns is listed in the CONNECT menu:

and through K2 on the SELECT/SYSTEM/SLEEP menu:

yours will be something more robust than 192.168 – please confirm?

We’re working! Woo!

Initially I was at my studio tethering from my phone. Then I tried hotspot. NOPE!

Now I’m home I tried again on the wifi, changed the host name to the IP shown on norns as you suggested. Tried the template to control levels and it worked!

Over to Cheat Codes and we’re winning! Thanks so much for your help. What a super community. Can’t wait to dig deeper on this.

Sorry to bump up a dormant post without having much to add, I was just wondering if anyone else had uploaded video of their TouchOSC/Norns setup anywhere. I don’t really have the time to dedicate to my Norns Shield yet but am fascinated by it and the possibilities it affords and seeing videos of others’ setups would be very intriguing/inspiring.

@okyeron you work in this is fantastic and your Instagram feed is a constant source of encouragement. I echo @sophie regarding feeling as though I’m at the bottom of a very large mountain (but I am hoping that I can compensate with determination what I may lack in proficiency :wink: )
