No Display on MT32-Pi but Sound Works

Unread post by Idelacio »

Just receieved my MT32-Pi and trying to get it up and running. I've tried a few options but no matter what I do I can get sound everytime but cannot get the display to show ANYTHING. OSD via MiSTer OS does show the boot process going through when the MT32-Pi is switched on but never shows anything on the latters own display.

I am using the following MT32-Pi connected with the included USB cable (yellow lcd)-
https://misterfpga.co.uk/product/mister ... -hat-v2-1/

Using a MiSTer setup with the following digital IO board, SDRAM (x2), USB board and power supply-
https://misterfpga.co.uk/product/mister ... -with-fan/
https://misterfpga.co.uk/product/mister ... mb-module/
https://misterfpga.co.uk/product/mister ... er-supply/
https://misterfpga.co.uk/product/usb-hu ... ster-fpga/

Power is plugged in through the IO board with USB board power cable plugged into DE10 Nano.
IO switches set to up/down/down/down for digital configuration per requirement.
Only the 3 Fan 3V pin jumper has been set from default 5V, nother else has been touched.
Sound is output via TOSLINK and video over HDMI.

I have tested with a Pi3 B+ and a Pi4, both powered via the MT32-Pi hat alone and MT32-Pi hat plus USB Power.
Cable has been plugged in from the MT32 hat itself to teh User IO port on the IO board, not the USB sockets.

Software versions used-
Mister v220723
OS v220413
MT32-Pi v0.12.1
Also tested with v0.10.0

I have tried different SD cards, all formatted to FAT32. (curiously the 128MB one doesn't work at all for this but all the larger ones do tested up to 8GB do)



The following options in the cfg file have been set:

Code: Select all

[audio]
output_device = i2s

[control]
# Required for physical buttons
scheme = simple_buttons

# Required for OSD controls
mister = on

[lcd]
# Required for OSD "LCD-On" and "LCD-Auto" modes even if you don't have a real OLED display connected
type = ssd1306_i2c

# You can use either 32 or 64 pixel height
height = 64

I've watched multiple videos for this device and I've done everything everyone else has done yet nothing seems to bring that screen to life.
Again I'm getting sound completely fine without issues and the buttons on the hat are adjusting settings as heard via sound and seen via the OSD.

Am I missing something obvious here?

You might have the display type wrong, maybe? When I first set mine up, I entirely missed the section on legacypixel's website with a working MT32Pi config for their hardware. The default MT32Pi config file had good comments in it that suggested the right device to use. I can't easily check what I used, because my Pi has no network connection set up, but it should be relatively straightforward.

Oh, I just remembered I documented the changes I made in an email. These are the settings I used, with LegacyPixel's choice of display:

Code: Select all

type = sh1106_i2c
width = 128
height = 64

Worth a shot, I'll give it a go when I get home. Width and height would be unchanged so just the lcd.

Nope, does absolutely nothing. :(

In fact the OSD goes awry on that setting making me suspect I had it set right originally as that's what the system thinks should be there? Tried a few other settings with the height but no dice.

Probably best to contact your seller and ask what the proper settings are, then. It all depends on what display they chose.

so unless they changed parts since i got mine this config should work for you.

At a glance looks like the settings I'm using at the moment.

Chucked them into the cfg anyway in case I missed something and nope, no working still.

Starting to wonder if this screen is just faulty tbh but will see if the store can suggest anything as well. T_T

Might also try with a clean Mister OS build just in case.

On the MT32-Pi itself? The screen is soldered on to the board.

Yup the digital board has the IO pins as well: set to the IO jumper. Cable provided by the store is that 'approved' CY 90 degree cable.

To be fair I suspect that sound and power would be impacted if these were issues and both seem pretty stable? Actually it's a lot better to my pi4 than it is to my pi3 for power stability.

Does the MT32-Pi screen boot up without the Mister if the pi is powered independently? If so that might indicate a device fault on my own.

this is frrom wiki

This is because I²C is not really designed to be used over lengths of cable, and so signal degradation can occur due to capacitance in the cable and/or signal reflection. If you experience a corrupted OLED screen display or erratic synth switching behavior (e.g. as in issue #59), try a shorter cable.

Oh sure but that talks about corruption, I get no screen output at all yet strong stable sound coming back through.

But yah it's the 20cm 90 angle cable, possibly this one:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32888943640.html

I'll dig about my cables but I know for a fact that all my cables are minimum 30cm. That said corruption indicates SOMETHING if I get that instead.

ok try this remove the usb cable form your mister to mt32-pi
plugin the pie using the micro usb to a power adaptor using the config i gave you do your screen light up then and show info then.

if it is the pie 4 try the usb-c power cable

Longer USB cable I have doesn't work, does still power the pi thuough.

And nope, doesn't do anything on the screen even if the pi is idnependently powered. If it does for you then I think this hat is borked.

Re: No Display on MT32-Pi but Sound Works

Bum, doesn;t work on either pi3 or 4 for me when independently powered.

I think we can conclude mine is defective. :(

I'll see what the store says, in the meantime I'll sit here and listen to the appropriately dissapointing yet baffling Elite Plus MT32 rendition of Blue Danube.

Thanks btw, interestingly no videos or documentation of what happens when you do try with this hat on just the pi alone so I had no frame of reference there.

It should absolutely power up, and display something ten or fifteen seconds later. Exactly what displays depends on your default synth mode (mt32 or fluidsynth), but you'll get a display in either case, even when it's not connected to the Mister. It can be driven over the network, or over a MIDI cable. The fact that it works so nicely with the Mister is because the author is cool, not because it has any need for the DE-10.

I was going to suggest fiddling with the hat connection, but since you're getting good sound, that's more likely to mess something up than to fix it. I think a dead screen is reasonably well proven at this point. It might have gotten whacked in shipping or something.

Might be correlation rather than causation but yeah this was one of those next day deliveries that took almost two weeks so added jostling is a possibility. :D

Sometimes stuff just breaks though. :(

Yup, it was a faulty screen. Came to an agreement with the seller that it's deffo borked and the replacement boots up just fine. :)
