Description
Fates is a DIY audio and UI board for the Raspberry Pi 3B+ and 4B (repository okyeron/fates); this fork publishes norns builds for it. Each release links to the matching monome/norns release for its changelog and installs from SYSTEM > UPDATE; version 220321 or later is needed to use the updater, and older installs need a disk image first. The Fates build lags monome's release line: the newest is built from norns 2.9.3.
Install notes
Run SYSTEM > UPDATE while connected to the internet, or upload the release tgz to ~/update/ over SFTP. Back up scripts first.
