Monome Grid & Bela

Thanks! Some success. I just changed wscript file directly from c17 to c11 and it now seems to build and install correctly.

I run the journalctl command and it reports following when plugging in

'Nov 12 05:47:49 bela serialoscd[17492]: serialosc [m1001113]: connected, server running on port 19852'
when unplugging it reports
'Nov 12 05:48:09 bela serialoscd[17492]: serialosc [m1001113]: couldn't write config :(
Nov 12 05:48:09 bela serialoscd[17492]: serialosc [m1001113]: disconnected, exiting'

Not being able to write config is a problem now as see I need to edit this file to fix port address. I see the ~/.config hidden folder but clearly no config is written there
if I run serialoscd it has made a serialosc folder under config but unplugging device does not generate the appropriate .conf file

Im sure there's miles to go still to get a monome max script running on the Bela but this is the first hurdle - thank you!

I was also trying to install this with the max/rnbo tutorial in the monome package, even after I update apt it could not find the serialosc package when typing sudo apt-get install serialosc.

Anyway, up and running now with serialosc starting at boot - a good start

mmm, on disconnecting device I get this message

Nov 13 05:28:22 bela serialoscd[195]: serialosc [m0000606]: couldn't write config :(

appear to not be printing out the path

OK try this change:

Just tried quickly before heading to work, response back was

Try this?

Honestly, I don't think there's anything Bela-specific here, I am wondering if it's an upstream issue or an issue with your device (does it work elsewhere?)

jonnybela Could this related to any of the messages I get when I run ./waf configure ? When its doing its checking (for compiler etc) everything is reported as yes (in green) however checking for funopen and reallocarray are reported as no (orange) plus checking for header windows.h it reports not found (again, in orange).

Says that the configure was successfully finished so appears okay but did wonder

that's all good actually. waf tries to figure out what resources are available and if something is optional it will be fine if it's not present. It would fail if anything required was missing.

jonnybela Hi! I just check and did it again. same output

Did you restart the process as well? It doesn't quite make sense because sosc_config_write() is called before couldn't write config to is printed, so the fprintf that we add in there should be printed as well.

Can you show the result of grep sosc_config_write src/serialosc-device/config.c just to make sure the printing is actually there?

Or maybe change the printf in that file to fprintf(stderr, in case there's some magic made to remove stdout but keep stderr.

Gotcha, now when i plugin, plug out
