<playthatbeat> #milkymist is 'invite only' - how to get an invite?
<aeris> This channel was closed, it's succesor is here
<playthatbeat> oright
<playthatbeat> i c
<playthatbeat> well im still looking for a manual for flickernoise..
* aeris can't help you
<playthatbeat> simple things like how to make a performance
<playthatbeat> file management
<playthatbeat> the ssd loop
<playthatbeat> the keyboard bindings
<ysionneau> the very very basic stuff are there http://milkymist.org/wiki/index.php?title=Flickernoise_user_manual
<ysionneau> playthatbeat: basically you put .fnp files in the "ssd" and then you can run them
<playthatbeat> yes i have looked at the wiki, it's a start..
<ysionneau> you can put files in the ssd either by FTP or NFS
<ysionneau> or directly by typing them using a USB keyboard and USB mouse
<ysionneau> and using the editor in the GUI
<playthatbeat> ive been editing them in the GUI
<ysionneau> that's the easiest way to start :)
<ysionneau> to start playing with the syntax of the FNP language
<ysionneau> then you just hit "run" and it's playing
<ysionneau> if you have no syntax error
<playthatbeat> sure, i have about 40 original patches
<playthatbeat> mostly using video in combinations
<playthatbeat> but it's hit & miss getting a performance to work
<playthatbeat> maybe thru FTP things will look a little less confusing
<playthatbeat> right now no matter what i do i cannot escape the same list of patches in aperformance
<playthatbeat> also: hitting F1 in a patch causes the patch name to be displayed, f2 and f3 still show video in 2 and 3
<playthatbeat> no idea how to disable this
<playthatbeat> yes i compiled that pdf
<ysionneau> ah ok so you have a better up to date version :)
<playthatbeat> the download link is broken
<playthatbeat> has been for a year
<playthatbeat> so i had to lol
<ysionneau> yes the links pointing to qi-hardware are slowing dying ....
<ysionneau> slowly*
<ysionneau> playthatbeat: about the list of patches to include in the performance, there is an option in the settings or something
<ysionneau> you have several modes
<ysionneau> I cannot tell you without having a look myself
<ysionneau> but search a little bit in the options
<ysionneau> there is something like "performance mode" maybe
<ysionneau> or stage mode
<playthatbeat> well it seems to be unpredictable
<ysionneau> and you can bind patches to keyboard keys
<playthatbeat> that does nto work
<ysionneau> or maybe even to MIDI inputs if I'm not mistaken
<playthatbeat> keyboard bindings fail
<playthatbeat> they have no effect
<ysionneau> Honestly I never tried the "performance mode" stuff
<playthatbeat> all i want is to be running my patches, and to be able to skip thru them using the kb
<playthatbeat> like f9 and f11
<ysionneau> I only edit stuff in the editor and play with it
<playthatbeat> hmmm
<playthatbeat> but you think the target folder that a performance draws from is just /ssd
<playthatbeat> so if i put my patches in /ssd then they should be available to me in a performance?
<playthatbeat> let me try this with FTP
<ysionneau> if you put them in /ssd then you will be able to use them from the Flickernoise GUI
<ysionneau> and from it I think you can select which patch are included in the performance set
<ysionneau> and bind to keys
<ysionneau> but I honestly never tried
<ysionneau> better ask lekernel or wpwrak about taht
<ysionneau> that*
<playthatbeat> well i thought that also
<playthatbeat> but bond to keys does not work
<playthatbeat> *bind
<playthatbeat> and building a performance set is also not possible
<ysionneau> if I have time (and I have very little time) I might try to have a look at how it works during the week
<playthatbeat> there is no button or option anywhere
<ysionneau> but basically I would just search in the GUI interface
<ysionneau> so you might be able to do the same as me
<playthatbeat> so i ssume you build a performance by populating a folder on the ssd?
<ysionneau> hummm I thought there was a way to make a list in the GUI somewhere ...
<playthatbeat> im thinking maybe my firmware is corrupt
<playthatbeat> it would explain the key bindings not working
<ysionneau> have you tried the buttons on the PCB ?
<playthatbeat> and the glitch hitting the f1 key
<playthatbeat> the buttons?
<ysionneau> there are 3 push buttons on the circuit board
<playthatbeat> oh is there a 'factory restore' ?
* playthatbeat looks
<ysionneau> there is no "factory restore" but you can reflash your board
<ysionneau> using precompiled binaries accessible over there: http://milkymist.org/updates/
<playthatbeat> lol DUDE
<ysionneau> you don't even need to do it over jtag, you can push the binaries over FTP
<playthatbeat> thats so helpfull
<ysionneau> just drag'n'drop over FTP
<playthatbeat> i am totally goign to do this right away
<ysionneau> and run the update through the GUI
<ysionneau> saying "update from FILE"
<playthatbeat> yes i think it needs this
<playthatbeat> because it's definatly not behaving properly
<playthatbeat> i keep trying to use it more
<playthatbeat> but it's been so annoying
<playthatbeat> lol
<ysionneau> maybe there is a bug, I don't know
<ysionneau> maybe flashing it won't help
<ysionneau> but you can give it a try anyway
<ysionneau> you have the JTAG pod?
<ysionneau> in case you break it :)
<playthatbeat> i do have a jtag somewhere
<playthatbeat> really need to start from scratch with it though
<playthatbeat> so im goign to go with a firmware change, see what happens
<ysionneau> yep
<ysionneau> "Update from files"
<playthatbeat> hmm
<playthatbeat> this is failing
<playthatbeat> ftp is going bananas
<playthatbeat> cannot xfer the files to the device
<playthatbeat> ffs
<ysionneau> make sure to be in the "/ssd" directory before trying to send anything
<playthatbeat> ah just had to throttle my ftp client
<playthatbeat> the milkymist likes 1 file at a time
<ysionneau> ah, yes maybe :)
<playthatbeat> wierd ther eis an /ssd inside /ssd
<playthatbeat> *there is
<ysionneau> hum hum
<playthatbeat> well the UPDATE FROM TEH WEB seems to connect and check versions
<playthatbeat> but it does not do much..
<ysionneau> maybe it does nothing because (it thinks) you are up to date
<ysionneau> and when you look via FTP in /ssd/ssd , can you see all the fnp patches?
<ysionneau> or are the fnp files in /ssd/ ?
<ysionneau> maybe try both (/ssd and /ssd/ssd) and do update from file (not from the web)
<ysionneau> that should force the flashing
<playthatbeat> yup
<playthatbeat> gonna try that now
<playthatbeat> my stupid browser renamed all the file downloads for the firmware a .bin
<playthatbeat> so this caused some confusion..
<ysionneau> better use wget for that :)
<playthatbeat> done
<playthatbeat> flashing now
<playthatbeat> well it's not bricked lol
<ysionneau> :)
<ysionneau> cool !
<playthatbeat> made no diff to the f1 glitch
<playthatbeat> now to do some file management
<playthatbeat> try sort a performance
<playthatbeat> no
<playthatbeat> this is brain damage
<playthatbeat> it's unpredictable what it chooses to 'compile' for a performance
<ysionneau> ok, let me have a look maybe this evening
<ysionneau> if I don't get how it works by looking at the GUI, I could have a look at the source code
jaeckel has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<playthatbeat> well it;s bricked now
<playthatbeat> lol
<playthatbeat> goign down a firmware worked
<playthatbeat> but it wouldnt compile alot of patches
<playthatbeat> so i went back to latests formware
<playthatbeat> and now it's bricked after the first reboot
<playthatbeat> any instructions anywhere for how to use the jtag?

<ysionneau> playthatbeat: hey back
* ysionneau from home now
<ysionneau> playthatbeat: so, an older version of flickernoise allows you to do what exactly?
<ysionneau> (and which version exactly?)
mumptai has quit [Quit: Verlassend]
<ysionneau> good that you unbricked your M1 :)
<ysionneau> FYI since this RTEMS commit, flickernoise either hangs at boot, or reboots the CPU : http://git.rtems.org/rtems/commit/?id=fed92f5f67bcaeffa6cb6ceebf5ddfdbcaff7fb8
<ysionneau> (found after git bisecting during 9 steps)
<ysionneau> and I tested on saturday the master HEAD and it was still broken
<ysionneau> I might have a look during the week (or the week-end)
<ysionneau> gn8!
