@quick veldt can you try running the bootloader updater? Hang on, I get the link
(p.s. sometimes it takes people more than 3 minutes to respond to help queries)
quick veldt
Yes, I know. I've just been very frustrated recently. I also got a lemon USB cable but that has already been resolved.
young adder
Oh !
I found the culprit !
that nice metal USB cable in Ada Box 010 : is it power only ?
haughty quiver
try this @quick veldt https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neotrellis-m4/update-bootloader
young adder
because as soon as I switched it with my usual cable, it worked
inner spade
@young adder I also had issues with that cable on the NeoTrellis.
The data didn't work reliably
young adder
yep, I confirm
inner spade
I had data, but only about 50% of the time.
haughty quiver
Bummer. I have only used mine for power, I'd better test it for data
young adder
if that's the only thing in the box that is not working properly, then... so be it 😃
@inner spade did that make half size binaries, running twice as fast ?
haughty quiver
the best luck I've had with fancy looking cables that work really well are the Anker fabric covered ones.
inner spade
@young adder Ha! Yup, reduced it to unary. 😉
young adder
Well, given that it comes from Adafruit, I'd have thought it was a good quality cable
young adder
so instead of 100% satisfaction, I'll rate this box 99.9%
quick veldt
Ok, ran the bootloader updater.
haughty quiver
We'll strive for 100.1% next time to balance things out.
young adder
that's a fail, @open girder ^^

young adder
Holly cow !!!!!!!! How fast is the USB connection on this thing ?? The upload took half a second !
young adder
My NeoTrellis crashes too with Cirtcuit Python flashed on it
haughty quiver
@quick veldt I'd like you to try putting CircuitPython onto it and then clearing out the file system with a command we have.
young adder
ah, now its running well, after a reset
haughty quiver
@quick veldt follow this to first putting on the CircuitPython for Trellis M4 https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neotrellis-m4/circuitpython
Then, look and see if there are .wav files or folders of them on the CIRCUITPY drive. Delete them.
young adder
@haughty quiver which file should I grab from GitHub for the circuit pythong library pack ?
haughty quiver
the 4.x bundle
quick veldt
ok
young adder
ok thanjs !
haughty quiver
@quick veldt if you want to be extra clean about it: https://learn.adafruit.com/welcome-to-circuitpython/troubleshooting#circuitpy-drive-issues
Once that drive is cleaned up, you can go back to bootloader mode and drag on the sequencer .uf2
quick veldt
So Circuitpython is messing with the pre compiled sequencer program?
haughty quiver
more likely .wav files that are on the flash ram are
quick veldt
hmm
So once I've reinstalled circuitpython what else should I do?
follow troubleshooting steps?
haughty quiver
yes
quick veldt
ok will do
haughty quiver
BTW, this is where this is mentioned as a potential problem: https://learn.adafruit.com/trellis-m4-beat-sequencer/faq-troubleshooting
quick veldt
Oh...
haughty quiver
I'm not certain it's what's happening on yours, but sound like it may be. What was on your board before the seqeuncer?
haughty quiver
ah, yes, that definitly has loads of samples on it
I'll test one starting with that and then flashing w seqeuncer
quick veldt
yeah...still doing it
But there is certainly some relation to circuit python with this issue because it plays the "welcome to adabox 10."
that sample isn't included on anything but adabox trellises I assume?
haughty quiver
yes
so even though you ran the filesystem clearout script in the REPL you still hear that sample now coming from the Arduino seqeuncer?
quick veldt
Nope I just deleted them from the usb storage device...I'll use the REPL method now.
The guide just said "remove"
haughty quiver
ok, yes, try the more robust command now
young adder
I have troubles getting Circuit Python of my M4
I see the TRELM4BOOT disk

haughty quiver
doe sit show up in finder/exlorer as CIRCUITPY or NO NAME?
quick veldt
circuitpy
quick veldt
Windows 10
haughty quiver
if you are comfortable using putty or another similar program, try connecting to the REPL that way instead of Mu.
haughty quiver
115200
young adder
is it supposed to reappear as CIRCUITPY on its own after dragging the circuitpythong uf2 file ?
haughty quiver
yes, but definitely try a reset or even unplug/replug
quick veldt
ok I'm in
quick veldt
beat ya to that one. Had the guide in hand. (or in my screen)
haughty quiver
nice
quick veldt
ok cleared...now for the moment of truth
young adder
no 😦 cycling power didn't make CIRCUITPY appear
haughty quiver
that locks it from being overwritten?
young adder
I am running bootloader 2.0.0
haughty quiver
sorry, crossing similar stream.
quick veldt
Oh darn. It did not work.
haughty quiver
@quick veldt did you do the bootloader lock thing already?
young adder
yeah sorry ^^ I kinda hijacked your support session there !
quick veldt
Yeah earlier
haughty quiver
ok, so what just happened?
quick veldt
haughty quiver
can you reboot it and try using the top row only?
something isn't clearing from memory on your board.
second row sample slots should all be empty
quick veldt
the top row was working fine earlier
only the bottom left ones have problems
specifically the two bottom left
haughty quiver
ah, I didn't realize that,
can you try going into record mode and overwriting those?
haughty quiver
darn, very sorry to hear it
haughty quiver
oh. so not just now?
haughty quiver
plot thickens
sounds like there was something stubborn caught in that part of memory
quick veldt
ok left most bottom one is cleared
haughty quiver
if you can overwrite each slot w some silence it may be clear sailing going forward
I'll still try to replicate here to understand
@young adder how's it going?
quick veldt
ok...well not smooth sailing for me
It's just acting super weird overall
playing sounds without me doing anything
young adder
Not so good. It is still not showing up as CIRCUITPY after dropping the file onto it
lavish stream
I really like the metal cable that came with the box. I couldn't find it on the site - user error, or is it not available for separate purchase?
haughty quiver
OK, let me see if there are any other good ways to flush memory
haughty quiver
@young adder can you try to copy over the .uf2 on a different machine?
@quick veldt that's nightmare fuel
quick veldt
yeah...where in the world is that random beat coming from
young adder
Also - I don't know if it's related - but my PC crashes a lot - keyboard and mouse, both USB, stop working.
quick veldt
I didn't make it
haughty quiver
@lavish stream it's not currently available as a separate item
lavish stream
@haughty quiver thanks. @quick veldt You are haunted by cowbells!!! Oh no! #NoMoreCowbell
quick veldt
Yeah cowbells, sped up ladyada voice, and electronic screeching.
young adder
@haughty quiver I don't have another machine right now.
Oh, let me get it form a machine in "the cloud" and bring it back
haughty quiver
@young adder the PC and peripheral crash could be current draw.
Can you try w a powered USB hub?
or different USB port, etc.
young adder
it is on a powered USB. That's what toubling me
and it only seems to happen when I've dragged the uf2 file on the device and reset it
quick veldt
Maybe I got really unlucky and got a dud @haughty quiver because this is acting super inconstantly.
young adder
but it's just a feeling, it might not be 100% true
haughty quiver
@quick veldt could be, I'm checking if we have any other recommendations
@young adder can you connect to the REPL via command line?
quick veldt
It seemed to be working fine with Circuitpython and your Midi thing.
haughty quiver
@quick veldt that's puzzling
quick veldt
I think I may step back from this for a bit and resume troubleshooting later. If you have a new recommendation feel free to tag me. Thanks again for your time.
haughty quiver
you bet, sorry it's not behaving as expected!
young adder
I'll check that out once I reboot my pc again. Same procedure : drag CP's uf2 file on the device , no CIRCUITPY drive appear, and a few seconds later the whole USB bus of the PC crashes.
It's working perfectly with the Arduino IDE , and I'm more a C++ guy that a Python guy so I'll be ok I think.
haughty quiver
@young adder hmm, maybe we should try you on a different version of CircuiPython. It's possible the one you're using is being particularly flakey wrt USB.
young adder
yeah, or maybe there is something wrong with linux and this version of CP.
do you know if CP 3.x is available for the Neo Trellis ?
young adder
yeah fr or en I can do, not sure I can handle Finish ^^
haughty quiver
And no, I don't think we had a CircuitPython 3 for Trellis M4
haughty quiver
@quick veldt could you try the QSPI eraser as detailed here? https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=144726
young adder
right, it's getting late
I'm going to bed, and I'll do C++ with my Neo Trellis this week-end !
haughty quiver
OK, sorry the CircuitPython is being elusive!
young adder
No problem. as I said I'm not a Pythong guy
And, look at the bright side : the 4.0.0 alpha5 stoped my PC from crashing !
so we did make progress !
haughty quiver
this is an improvement for sure :)
young adder
Bye now, TTYL !

Ah, right. Robotic ghosts that jam.
haughty quiver
@young adder Ha, I accidentally used that (Finnish) EDIT: Filipino CircuitPython .uf2 and got a Finnish error message `Ang awtomatikong pag re-reload ay ON. i-save lamang ang mga files sa USB para patakbuhin sila o pasukin ang REPL para i-disable ito.

@haughty quiver I got the Arpeggiator sketch from Collin synced to Midi Clock via USB

MidiUSB.h Library is used in Trellis already and can be used for MidiUSB.read(); also.
Yes, I will. But not now, it's already late in Germany …

haughty quiver
Oops, thanks for the correction!
young adder
@haughty quiver rereading last nite's conversation, I noticed you mentioned a FLASH eraser. I did that and then installed CP 4.0.0 alpha 5 and TADA !
haughty quiver
Fantastic!
thanks for joining in on the adventure of pioneering with a brand new board :)
young adder
I'm having so much fun 😃
dense marlin
@haughty quiver this is my modification with MidiUSB clock sync. The Arpeggiator only works when a clock is running: https://github.com/cbmainz/Adafruit_NeoTrellisM4/tree/master/examples/arpeggiator_synth
haughty quiver
fantastic, thanks for sharing it, I look forward to playing with it.
dense marlin
I did't test it with audio synth only as a Midi device.
haughty quiver
oh, is that merged into the main line of the code? is there still a way to make it run independently?
oh, I see, that's on your fork of it
it would be cool to add that in and have a software switch or even startup button to enable or disable clock sync
dense marlin
Yes, if I find time I would like to make a switch for different modes
I don't know if I find tome for this on the weekend.
I would like to make the code of the Arpeggiator not playing a Arpeggiator but a single note when pressing a button. Because than it would be very similar to the layout of a Novation Circuit. But I don't understand the code for the 'playArp' at the moment. And than of cause a switch for different Modes of playing (Arpeggiator or Scale Mode).
@haughty quiver would you use a button combination on the button matrix of the Trellis M4 or a external button?
haughty quiver
I think you could do a startup button combo maybe to avoid adding parts?
dense marlin
Yes, this would be handy. But I have to learn more to make this code. I'm still learning programming in Arduino.
dense marlin
@haughty quiver is there a example somewhere of such a startup button?
haughty quiver
Great question, I'll have to think if I can recall any.
I would probably do a check in the setup() for a button press and then set a variable based on that.
haughty quiver
To store the choice between power downs? I'm not sure how you'd do that.
fathom sparrow
does the NeoTrellis M4 have the same NVRAM other Arduino boards do?
If so you could store it in there
dense marlin
@haughty quiver I updated my sketch on github:
https://github.com/cbmainz/Adafruit_NeoTrellisM4/tree/master/examples/arpeggiator_synth
Now, if there is a Midi Clock via USB, it will sync to it. Otherwise it will play to the internal clock.
odd stream
The SAMD chips don't have EEPROM like the ATMEGA chips.
If you're using CircuitPython you can use a file in the flash file system. I believe you can do the same in C++, but I haven't tried it myself.
dense marlin
@odd stream I see. I modified the arpeggiator_synth witch is in C++ and I don't know how to store files on the flash file system.
I like to learn more about the startup button approach from @haughty quiver and then implement some config buttons on startup for sync on/off, clock devision, pattern select and so on. If this can be stored in the future, this would be a nice add on as well.
odd stream

The "expansion" pads on the edges of the board are all in parallel and in parallel with the Stemma connector (based on the schematic anyway)

I can just see people plugging in their old 5V shields into the Grand Central and wondering what's up. Hopefully not too much of that happens.
sage aspen
It will be similar to the Arduino Due in terms of Form Factor and being 3.3V.
tawdry phoenix
They should work fine if the board is 3.3v and the shield is 5v.
slow spire
I don't believe the Grand Central GPIO pins are 5V tolerant. Correct me if I'm wrong.
sage aspen
I'm sure there are some shields that would destroy it, some that just won't work, and maybe some that might work fine.
slow spire
There are also probably some that will appear to work for a while, then the GC will suddenly stop.
I just answered a question on the forums about whether you could attach a solenoid directly to Raspberry Pi GPIO pins. So…
tawdry phoenix
That does not sound like a good idea. You don't want a bunch of current flowing through those pins.
prime sentinel
We were discussing a 3V-5V shield adapter on another channel. Maybe I should design it.

Well I couldn't stay up last night to see the unboxing show live or participate in the chat. But, please consider this contribution as a #hug-reports item also. Thank you @proper trench for designing and manufacturing such a great product. For me it ticked all the boxes, the M4 chip, LEDs and buttons, sound and the 'STEMMA'? I2C expansion possibilities. Just fantastic! Thank you also to @haughty quiver for all the inspiring videos and project ideas. I am (was completely at sea) now learning with both Python and about the world of synthesisers and excited by the potential to learn new things. The fun I have had playing with the TrellisM4 reminds me a lot of how I felt going to a computer club back in 1980. Without the resources of the internet, I learned from friends and books. Adafruit's commitment to learning and communities is brilliant.
