Anyone here using Just friends?

I just got one for the box, and I seems a bit of a tricky module to get any information on.

I have one. Product descriptions for this module can be hard to wrap your head around, but once you play with it, it becomes really clear, really quick.

Actually its one of the best documented modules now because the original abstract manual has been supplemented by a very detailed technical map. You can find it here (https://github.com/whimsicalraps/Mannequ...friends.md) and also download a PDF. 

If you need to explore the i2c capacity of JF (using something like Norns or Teletype) then there are many resources on this but you need to spend time exploring mostly the lllllll.co forum. Once Nerdseq i2c expander arrived then you can probably start implementing the i2c commands that are outlined in the Teletype manual https://monome.org/docs/teletype/manual.pdf.

All JF commands have been implemented already. I can't test it myself but it is reported to work.

Hi All,

I’ve just picked up a Monome Norns, the Crow Module.  As well, Just Friends arrived today while I’m at work.  I’ll probably mostly sequence JF via Norns scripts via Crow, but I also want to explore sequencing via Nerdseq/Multi-IO.  Are any of you doing this, using Just Friends with Nerdseq, and also with the Crow in the chain?  I need to figure out the connections & pull-up jumpers - can someone help with this?  Can I have both Nerdseq and Crow as I2c leaders, it probably won’t be an issue if I don’t try to run them simultaneously, right?

Thanks!

I have just got JF connected to the NS, and discussing the NS setup and sequencing would be great. I have at least verified NS is talking to JF, but so far the rest is mostly a mystery to me. There seems to be a lot to unpack.

JF is a mystery and you need to know how it works and what it does. Then you need to understand all it's modes and from that point the commands from the NerdSEQ start to make sense.
Never used one myself.

I figure if JF, ER-301 and Disting were not stupid complicated there would be no reason for I2C in the first place.

Actually ER-301 and disting are quite straight forward compared to the JF. And it doesn’t have to do with I2C and neither there would be a need for it.
On top of that, I2C adds a layer of complexity. Still you got to see these totally separate. I2C is like midi just a different way of connecting a patch cable.

Can the handling of the JF boolean destinations be represented as such in the NS firmware in future? Instead of note off or note value.
