Are the 3 configuration files ok and up to date ?

Me too (From Australia). 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.

Thank you, i will try this

After some research I believe that : USB_MOUNTPOINT = /media/usb/ is missing in configuration.txt

When I use this files : https://github.com/hansehv/SamplerBox/bl...ration.txt

The pimoroni make sounds but the screen and the gpio are off ...

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

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)

Gleen has updated his site Sept 2, 2022

Now the screen and the buttons work

This explains it all.
Thanks Gaston for the feedback and Glenn for the update !
Have fun, Hans
