We recently figured out something that improves tuning stability, and I wanted to give you the backstory, in case you're curious. More importantly, it changes which pin we recommend for the audio input to Q-Tune. I've posted the 5.1.2 release notes in the firmware thread. This is for anyone who...
Version 5.1.2
Now available at https://www.q-tune.com/install
This is a bug-fix and hardware-compatibility release on top of 5.1.0. (There was no public 5.1.1.) If your Q-Tune has been working fine, this mostly just makes sure it keeps working on every chip out there, but there's one new...
Sorry I was slow to respond here. I sent you a link to a beta version of the firmware that might address the issue you are seeing. If it ends up working for you, I’ll post the updated version of the firmware for everyone.
Q-Tune now has its own SDK! Now anyone can build their own tuner or standby screen and run it on Q-Tune. Even if you're never written a line of code in your life. I explain how in this video:
Using the SDK requires firmware version 5.1.0 or newer available on the Install page...
Version 5.1.0
Now available at https://www.q-tune.com/install
New Features
Custom UI Plugins - Q-Tune is now open for tinkering!
You can now install custom tuner screens and standby screens onto Q-Tune, built by the community (or by you). Plugins drop right into Q-Tune and show up in your...
Thanks for the additional suggestion. We reached out in the past and never heard anything back from them. Perhaps those of you who are interested could let them know you're interested in that and that may help it happen. We're definitely not opposed to figuring out some kind of arrangement there.
We’ve put Claude Code to work to help organize and experiment with ideas for the Flick pedal (Delay-Reverb-Tremolo) that’s built for the Daisy Seed (right now supporting Hothouse and FunBox hardware platforms). Someone could probably spend some time and get a port of it working with Terrarium...
A little odd that you’d see 440 Hz on Pin 7 of IC5 since that should be connected to GND. If you switch from standby to tuning mode, you should start to see a signal at C1. Does that happen? Or, if you go into Settings > Tuner > Bypass Type and select Buffered Bypass, you should also start...
Yeah, that looks great! There was one time I didn't solder in my GND wire well enough and it was causing issues, so it's likely one of the signal wires might need attention, specifically the GPIO15 wire.
Something you might try is to probe for the audio signal at various places in the circuit...
Yeah, definitely not a necessity to update to it unless those little triangles on the needle tuner really bug you that they're not there with a custom color. Otherwise, you can skip it. Mostly I wanted to just make people aware, in case they stumbled across it.
@BourbonAndGames Please take a picture of the back side of the screen. Specifically what I'd like to see is the JST connector. It looks like your wires are soldered correctly on the Q-Tune PCB, but I'd like to see the other side of those.
A common problem is that the JST connector isn't fully...
Version 5.0.0
Support for the new Solderless Q-Tune Kit
The upcoming solderless Q-Tune kit uses a slightly different wiring arrangement between the ESP32 and Q-Tune boards. The new firmware version adds a one-time prompt to have you select which kit type you've built. New orders will already...
Huge apologies for missing this! I've been heads down on various projects. Are you still hitting issues? If so, let me know and we can walk through it together and get it working.
Edit: Your soldering looks great and those measurments look right too.
