Has anyone tried to get this to sync in any way? Seems like it should be possible to reference a sync pulse sent to a GPIO pin to set feedback time and maybe LFO rates? I’ve got it all up and running and I like it (great work, Andre!) but being able to sync with my other gear would be the bees knees. I’d be happy to make a contribution to help the coding along for this.
I literally have everything minus QMK keyboard and active DisplayPort->HDMI lying around. I’m going to have to give this a try. Honestly might prove more difficult getting all of my sources set up to test with than getting everything flashed!
Can someone point me to the pdf manual? I checked the site and GitHub and seem to be overlooking it everywhere.Thanks.
Other than the DIY instructions I am not aware of any pdf manual.
Thanks. I remember there was one with diagrams and a breakdown of menus and techniques. It was somewhere. I had it on my old computer but the hard drive failed and it was lost. I feel like it had squid pictures in it.

Sweet! Thank you.
updated this page
with a more obvious link to manual too

I Can’t get input 2 to work on GW. Any suggestions would help. I’ve tried different setups and sources. Input 1 comes up every time but nothing ever in input 2.
this is not enuf information to troubleshoot anything
have you tried using a different usb video input?
Yes. I fixed it. The keyboard I was using was the issue. I don’t know why I just now thought of that.
power drain? is the best i can think of. using a powered usb hub to supplement using all the accessories can make a difference
Just a possible bug report for GW.
Issue (and steps to replicate):
MIDI control values jump to match controller values when navigating between menus and using MIDI controller.
- Enable MIDI control on a particular menu
- Change e.g. the first two values using the MIDI controller
- Move to a different menu without first disabling MIDI control on the first menu
- Enable MIDI control on this menu and adjust the first two values using MIDI controller
- Navigate back to the first menu where MIDI control is still enabled
- The first two values jump to match the MIDI controller which is now different from what they were set to previously
I’m assuming I’m not missing a step. I don’t remember reading that you needed to disable MIDI control on a menu before leaving it, but it’s possible it is user error if I’m not following the instuctions. I would have thought “MIDI latching” (soft takeover) would prevent this from occuring as described.
(Tested with Korg Nanokontrol 2)
kool, will look into this
Hello!
I currently have a GW that is not powering up. While I wait for a new PSU, I am investigating the options of replacing the motherboard as I cannot imagine trying to either diagnose or repair anything on that level. From the looks of it, it seems like a pretty straight forward swap, but my hang up is with the SD reader. It is hard to tell from pictures online if the SD slot comes standard on the Jetson Nano 945-13450-0000-100 Is the configuration that came with the AJ GW an SD card extender to make it so it can be accessed with a case, or would I have to source a motherboard with that feature. Thank you. I hope that someone chimes in.
If your unit isn’t powering on I’d recommend opening the case and have a micro USB power supply on standby. There is a jumper on the nano which allows you to use the DC jack instead of the micro USB. Make sure your jumper is on because without it DC power never comes into the board. If your jumper is on then remove it and try a generic 2.5A micro usb power supply to see if it will boot. At least you can narrow down whether it’s your power supply or something else. The nano is also a little bit picky about SD cards but if you got your unit from Andrei I’d imagine he would’ve included a decent card since it’s something he mentions in his documentation.
I know Nvidia had two revisions of the jetson nano board with the B02 (I think) being the preferable board. Also, since the SD card was the only boot method on the nano I’m rather certain they all have SD card slots and the extender is just another bit from, I believe, the Waveshare case. Might also be worth exploring if your nano boots with the SD extender removed and the SD card directly inserted.
While you’re at it go ahead and flash a new SD card and see if that works. Honestly, I’d probably start there because SD card corruption can be an easy way to have an non-bootable system.
Edit: I write lots of “I think” and “I believe” but half of this info is just stuff my brain has accumulated over, what, 6-7 years now? It’s hard to compile this information at this point and the Nvidia documentation really has moved on to the newer, and way more $$, Orin platform.
correct, the sd card extender comes with the waveshare case.
Well, good news for now. The GW boots with the jumper removed using the micro USB. It did ask for andrei’s password. Once I get the proper PSU Monday, I’ll try working on the GW again, possibly reflashing an SD card if this boot persists. Jmsiener, your thinking and believing has gotten me this far! Thank you!!
As I was searching for alternatives, I found this-
Will this work for a second GW as a backup? If so, I may DIY a second unit.
