Original Arc 4 not recognized #770

Closed okyeron closed 4 years ago

okyeron commented 5 years ago

A lines user reported some crazy issues with his original model Arc 4 - causing crashes or problems with the usb system (knocking off wifi).

I did some debugging with him and I think it's due to the iProduct string being monome instead of monome arc. (or some other mis-match on that). Thus norns is trying to deal with the arc as a grid instead?

monome.lua is looking for a string of monome arc to differentiate an arc from grid.

1 - can anyone test on hardware with a first generation arc?

2 - Is there a better way to filter for Arc's that show up as just monome?

with norns 2.0.0 at initial startup my original push button arc 4 was recognized and worked with the angl script, but after a restart i got the same issues as reported before (glitchy less on arc, audio weirdness, crashes). subsequent startups have the same issue, and the arc hasn't been recognized properly since.

i was wondering if the problem was power, so today i tried plugging the arc 4 via offworld and so far things to work reliably!

is it possible the original arc 4 wanted too much power and the norns' usb hub couldn't deal with it?

Testing now with an original arc 4 and norns running 190817 - seems fine.
