shieldXL


A rework/remix of the monome norns shield - a open-source/DIY shield for Raspberry Pi boards (Pi3B+ and Pi4B), providing hardware compatibility with the norns ecosystem. Originally design by monome. Remixed in spring 2023 by denki-oto.


This is the same norns shield functionality in a different form factor and a few extras.


Please be very aware that shieldXL is not supported by monome in any way. Do not email monome asking for build help, debugging or repairs.
