I just received my blackboard in the mail. I downloaded the blackboard examples but it is unclear to me from the readme page where I should copy the folders contained within the blackboard folder on my elk board. I imagine I have to run the shell scripts but do I have to copy all the folders over to a particular location or is there more to it?
Hi!
/udata is a good place - it’s the folder where we specifically encourage the storage of user data. See also here in our documentation for more details.
Meanwhile this guide on our website will be useful to you for working with editing files directly on the board.
Best,

So I copied the Blackboard folder to the udata folder and tried to execute the obxd sequencer shell script as follows:
./run_instrument
But I get the following error(s)
Failed to load tracks from Json config file
Sorry, try again.

Hi!
We recently became aware ourselves, for that particular example only, there’s a bug that appears only under specific circumstances. We have it fixed and will push the fix ASAP.
In the meanwhile, all the other examples should work correctly!

Hi!
We have now pushed a correction to the obxd-sequencer example, along with minor error message additions to the examples, do take a look, and let us know if you have any more questions or issues:
Thank you,
