Hi everybody
Revived my samplerbox last week but I can't get it to work. I've attached it to my raspberry pi 3 and inserted a sd-card with the latest ISO imaged burned. I've formatted a usb stick with FAT32 and added the free sample sets.
When I turn on the power the lcd screen lights up but nothing else happens, it doesn't load the samples from the stick and no internal sounds can be played (from what I've read samplerbox comes with some "on board" sounds, right?)
What am I missing?

I've seen this happen when an inadequate power supply is being used.
Are you using the ISO image from the website? Or the one you (hopefully) received in an email?
Niklas posted May 22 '17, 17:47:
the one from the website, I'll check my mail. The power supply says: output DC5V 2.4A

Ah yes, you'll need to use the new one which is not available on the website (will be available very soon!)
Your power supply is perfect :)

Thanks! Now it works perfectly.

Hello
I too am attempting to set up a Samplerbox and am having the same problem with the ISO image from the website. Is it possible to somehow obtain the ISO which matches your beautifully written manual?
Thank you

Sure - email me at [email protected]
To anyone else interested, we'll be making this new version public soon! :) Just ironing out some kinks

Any change that you could post the fix to the above problem so we can all benefit from the fix?

@Alistair - this is specific to the small batch of SamplerBox beta hardware that we (very quietly) sold a couple of months ago. I feel posting fixes specific to it might cause some confusion for users without the beta hardware.
