Hi Hans,

I'm sure that USB_MOUNTPOINT = /media/usb/ was missing on Gleenn's site

The site has been update maybe yesterday

I will ask Gleen

Now the samplerbox put this error :Error loading optionnals (either buttons, http-gui or seria-midi)

Hi Gaston,
The line is present on the image, on GitHub and on the file on Glenn's site. If it got lost somehown on your local setup, this would indeed cause a crash on start = no sound, no lcd etc.

When you use the github file, you need to change the appropriate lines as indicated on Glenn's site:

Code:
USE_BUTTONS = True

USE_PIMORONI_LCD = True 

BUT_incr=05             ; Increase button, increases value/proceeds to next menu choice

BUT_decr=06             ; Decrease button, opposite of above. It will return from submenu

BUT_sel=16              ; Select button, either selects menu choice or returns to menu

BUT_ret=24              ; Return button, returns to menu

They are a bit spread over the file.

Good luck, Hans

Are the 3 configuration files ok and up to date ?
..........Australian addition:
I just get a blank screen I was looking forward to an easy setup!
I also tried the latest build but no-go either. I hope the check and re-fix it.

Hi,
I looked at the three files mentioned there (config, configuration and wifinetworks) and they look pretty OK to me (as I don't own the pimoroni, I can't verify 100%).
You can try to comment the dtparam line like this:

Code:
#dtparam=audio=off

Sbox20220206.zip contains the latest build. In the archive you can find Sbox20210521_latest2.7.zip, which is the latest python2.7 build (so despite the name it's an old one). This does not support PI4 - as a PI4 refuses to start with this build, you'll get an empty screen.
For further help more info is needed, so no easy setup alas: please check the faqs and Commandline access and debugging page.
