Just noticed this part about 4 outputs. Currently each ER-301 allows the user to address 100 outputs. So really outputs 1-100 should go to 0xB0, then 101-200 should go to 0xB1, and so on.

Gotcah. I’m planning to open up the other 96 outputs once I’ve validated the firmware with the 1-4. This will be so awesome-crazy!!!

so is this working now?

is the soldering mod relatively foolproof? it looks pretty straightforward.

i’ve loaded .3.06 and i can’t wait to start using those two SC units!

Hello. I come with Alpha #2 of the ER-301 firmware. I’ve been able to verify this against the ER-301 firmware above with my modded ER-301. All works according to plan.

The primary fix (although there was some internal reshuffling to enable it) is to support up to 600 (!!!) virtual outputs across the three addresses (300 TR and 300 CV across 0xB0, 0xB1, 0xB2).

Download the latest ALPHA firmware (with all of the caveats of above) here:

teletype.SCALPHA2.hex.zip (141.1 KB)

I’ve just a few more tweaks before submitting this to @scanner_darkly for inclusion in his build.

Good luck!!

Holy bejeezus 600 outputs!?
It will take some serious trickery working with the 10 scripts to make a dent in that!
:smile:
but so awesome to see this happen!

Thank you @bpcmusic! I will make some time to try this out over the next few days. :star_struck:

Just for reference and posterity, here is the source code on the ER-301 side that is relevant to the Teletype:
ER-301-v0.3.06-teletype-src.zip (6.9 KB)
(This zip file is NOT firmware.)

So, no grid integration for now ?

#106

somewhere above bpcmusic mentions his build is based on scanners branch. so yes, full on, grid integration!
(I still need some energy/time to digest all of this)

You will need 3 ER-301s. :slight_smile: 100 TRs and 100 CVs per.

So, i was able to do the hardware mod and install the new firmwares.
Good news, everything worked instantly !
(Only one very small thing i noticed : you can SC.TR.P 0 on TT but there is no port 0 on the ER-301.)

Damn, the ER-301 + TT will totally change my workflow. This is HUGE. And with the Grid Ops, it blows my mind.

Would it be possible to imagine a way to link a TT scene and a ER-301 Quicksave Slot ?

Yeah - neither the TELEX or the ER-301 ops error on missing ports as they don’t really know. They just send i2c commands.

Up to @odevices; I’m sure we could figure out an op that would do something like that. You would call it during your TT init. For example:

SC.QS.LOAD 1 4

That could tell device #1 to load Quick Save slot #4.

Easy enough on the Teletype to implement - but I can’t speak for the SC.

I agree; pretty awesome to see them working together without patch cables!

I was about to ask for confirmation if this I2C communication is simply CV without patch cables, but it seems that it’s a little more sophisticated than this if the potential is there for remote quicksave slot loading.

Can someone give me a synopsis as to what is allowed over this bridge? I’m not particularly familiar with monome or the protocol in general.

I2C is a data protocol.

#114

Thank you, shall read up on it, but there have been mentions of possible and not possible implementations of the protocol here…what does it look like in practice between these two devices?

oy feeling like such a dummy. i just finished doing the mod and foolishly did not study the images for the pin connections and just assumed the order was the same on both sides and now i’m back home from the studio with a modded 301 and a useless cable! :(((
