Diver flickering

[Z0NK0UT]

Unfortunately the only thing to do with Diver quirks at this point is to wait for the new firmware. TBC2 has commanded full attention (away from Memory Palace and Diver), but the good news is that all progress on TBC2 will benefit its Orion siblings (and Chromagnon).

I’ve been running some tests with using the diver to sync a prismatic ray via passage and it seems like the 1 pixel seam is causing the sync issues. They can appear almost identical! I wouldn’t be surprised that once the 1 pixel seam issue is fixed, the sync issue is also fixed. It’s frustrating to sync the diver at the moment. Fingers crossed this gets addressed!

We’ve pulled Diver out recently in prep for a bugfix release. So hopefully you won’t have to wait much longer on that update. This issue (the phase texture seam’s starting position) is the first one to correct.

When plugging Diver H and V ramps into an oscilloscope on XY mode, I see a line. The position of the line is controlled by the X scroll slider.

I’m curious if it’s related to the above / what causes it?

It does seem to relate to sync alignment/offset. But which issue is causing the other, it’s hard to say. I will have to look at the sync pulses together on the scope (possibly after tapping some wires off testpads on the PCB) in order to diagnose it with certainty. It could just be a glitch in my code for the phase wrapping.

For the XY measurement, if you adjust the phase slider, can you move the line to the left side of the raster?

Can we see a screenshot of the glitch you’re seeing with the Prismatic Ray?

Not trying to give you busy work; but if you want to keep seeking I won’t stop you! I’ll solve this when I get into it.

Yes, I can move the line all the way to the left. I don’t have a Prismatic Ray but here are some pictures of Z modulated with Clock VCO. The dark horizontal line you see in the bottom pictures can be moved by the other phase slider.

Here’s an example of the sync glitch with Prismatic Ray. You can see the blip every few seconds. It’s kind of a messy patch and running through some structure fx but it’s hard not to see the jump when it happens. Streamable link to Untitled 05

Any Updates on that topic?

[creatorlars]

I’ll post here on the forum as soon as there are updates on Diver. I’ll be digging into it after the TBC2 release, which is what I’m working on now.

While doing a full system/module reorganization, I got my Diver to work this past week for the first time ever!

My specific issue was having some of the following RCA female-to-female couplers in my sync chain.

I don’t believe the coupler failed as the sync chain worked fine with for analog modules when these couples were present – but these couplers caused issues for Diver (and maybe MemPal too but I’d have to go back and check). The couplers worked fine with video signals in general.
