Looks fantastic!

You could consider the new green Newhaven 4x20 OLED for additional pimping :-)

Best regards,

Peter

yeah, for sure. Been looking at upgrading that for a while. This thing: http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&itemSeq=101956225&uq=634451858751268607

If you do, you might ask Wilba - he potentially has some neat riser PCBs left - which come in handy as the tactile switches directly below and above the display need to be levelled up :-)

I'll just mill some holes into the PCB, there is nothing there where the buttons need to poke through..

Ah, that is also a good idea :-)

Looks great! Congrats!

Mine's also green, but I'll have to replicate your backlight control circuitry.

It's cool to see how lots of people are suddenly finishing their builds :sorcerer:

And the OLED is in transit...

heh, this has been done since fall '07

As I supposed it looks very beautiful.

good job Alti ( no matter it has been done since 2007....I see it now :smile: )

the only thing I did recently was to crack it open to start work on seppo's vcf but more importantly, it was a test vehicle for trying out inkjet printable vinyl sticker paper and that worked out very well. I'll be post more on that shortly since I used it for my SEQ also and it turned out really well (this stuff is a $1 a sheet btw, dirt cheap)

Thats interesting - how do you cut it? Meaning the circular holes for LEDs, encoders, etc. ?

Bye,

Peter

hehe, that's the trick right?

What I came up with was to make on the lathe punches that have the OD a hair smaller than the hole diameter and that have the cutting edge on the inside. Think of it as taking a tube and sharpening the inside edge instead of the out side surface. Then I just apply the sticker to the machined panel, flip it over and punch out the holes from the back, the little ones go very easy and even the big ones (like the 14mm ones in the MB6582) can be done by hand. Results are SUPER clean holes. Rectangular stuff is a little trickier since you have to either do it before hand with an xacto and straight edge or cut it after you apply it. The latter is pretty rough since this stuff does not like to be cut like that and it is easy to mess it up. I'll have my walnut sides for my seq4 tomorrow so i'll do a full write up on the procedure then (with pics of the tools etc)

Looks very very nice!
