Description

Crow is a collaboration between Whimsical Raps and monome. The firmware repository holds the C code, the Lua runtime and the build tooling. The last tagged release is 4.0.5 from July 2023, while commits have continued into 2026. Updates are made with druid, the fledge script on norns, or a manual DFU flash.

Install notes

Run `druid firmware` on a computer, use fledge on norns, or follow the manual update guide. Windows may need a WinUSB driver (Zadig) for DFU.
