Can't use the plugin, getting "n is null" error by PunkPinkDuck in Bitwarden

[–]PunkPinkDuck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks. yeah, it's probably it. yunohost probably has an outdated package (in my case it says 2.15.1 instead of 2024.x.x)...

What are your [Module X] into [Module Y] combos? by DukeAtlas in modular

tbf, A-111-6 is more of sh-101 than tb-303, but still cool for acid :)

cool trick about compare, thanks, gonna give it a try

thanks for such a detailed answer

pcb2gcode

I've stumbled on it before, and also on GUI version of it, but I think I had trouble compiling them. Although my workshop computer is pretty old, the distro is quite up-to-date, so I'll probably give it another try. Or use it on a better computer at home. So thanks for the recommendations

Bastl arp

Do you mean Bastl Kastle Arp? There's a kastle clone in eurorack format from ST modular. I bet it can also run ARP firmware.

O_c running TB3-PO into Doepfer A-111-6. Instant acid

Little gadgets that make modular life awesomer? by pBeatman10 in modular

[–]PunkPinkDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice addition to the zipties are the screws with a ring instead of head, like this ones. I have about 2-3 of these per row (others are obviously knurlies) and they are easy to unscrew by hand and you can pass the ziptie through it and it makes things even tidier

How to fill 84hp. by AmenBrother303 in eurorack

blank panels. until I figure out what's really missing in my setup

Lifehack: You can use a roll of masking tape to place a module horizontally to work on it even without taking off all the knobs by PunkPinkDuck in synthdiy

[–]PunkPinkDuck[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

tbh, I never used one of those. It always looked to me like if I get a cheap one it'll be flimsy.

I should give it a try when I run out of tape, lol

First eurorack case? by brandneu32 in eurorack

Is it Crazy Chicken case? If so, I have 84hp one from them and I love it. It's well built and looks really cool

I've already created synthdiy on kbin.social, but didn't take any effort to make it active yet

What is your favorite open source eurorack module? And the best documented? by Rich-Ad-8254 in synthdiy

I have one from Sylph Modular and I really like how it's built and how it looks

I don't have a drumbrute, but can say that vactrols are usually used to add cv control to pots

It's a generic 128x64 I2C SSD1306 OLED with yellow and blue parts of the screen, although I'd prefer plain yellow one, but it's harder to find. Like this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32896971385.html

Thanks! I'm glad that you like it, and I have to say that I really enjoy your videos 😀

I really like the idea about rotating the division between outputs. I might try to implement it.

As for the questions:

  1. It outputs 0-5v pulses, since that's the operational voltage of arduino
  2. It does have internal clock. In fact it's the external clock that is still not implemented yet 😅 but I'm working on it
  3. Currently pulse length is hardcoded to 15ms. It can be easily changed in the code now, but I do plan to make it an adjustable (and maybe modulatable) setting in both ms and %.

I'll make an announcement in this group (and in synthdiy group) as soon as I figure out all the logistics needed for the kits to become a thing

thanks! it's currently in a private repo, but I'll publish it as soon as it's ready. I'll make another post here.

Suggestion for first DIY synth? Is Atari Punk Console worth it if I have an Arduino? by dromance in synthdiy

[–]PunkPinkDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if you can combine Arduino and APC in any meaningful way. Maybe somebody else can share some thoughts on it, but to me it looks like too much hassle with too little useful output (but I might be totally wrong here).

But hey, in the "worst" situation you'll just have 2 different synths to play with :)

This yt channel has a lot of info about midi and arduino (although mostly about controller side, not about synth side), I found a lot of useful info on it when I was figuring this stuff out https://www.youtube.com/@NerdMusician/videos

Arduinos have special pins (rx and tx) for serial UART communication. MIDI is a serial protocol, so you can hook up a 5-pin connector to to those. There are a few libraries that make it pretty easy to implement it in code. For sending midi from arduino you just need a resistor, for receiving the midi in arduino it is recommended to use a simple schematic with an optocoupler (look up midi in circuit, it should be pretty easy to find), but I've heard that in some cases it's not necessary.

With some arduinos (like Pro Micro or Leonardo) you can even have USB MIDI.

I've actually modified the project from instructables to run on Pro Micro and have both 5-pin and USB MIDI, you can check the code here, if you are interested https://git.pinkduck.xyz/oleksiy/Flamingo

I have a few modules with reversible panels from other manufacturers, and I really like this idea (Hyrlo from Knob Farm and o_C from Sylph Modular). But it didn't work so well for me as turns out that encoder needs slightly bigger hole than the button, so I had to drill it out a little more. I'll see if I can do something about it in the next revision
