Hey, Bit of feedback from me too. I've completed the wCore, USB, RES-SD, Midi8, and starting on the I2C and Line boards. Very well laid out, and excellently notated boards. Symbols and writing are clean and obvious - amazing work guys particularly Latigid on The video is excellent, clear and well paced. I'm impressed on how you (Peter) made links to each section of the video/build. SMT... I've done lots of through-hole, but I've only ever soldered a few caps on a broken JP-8000 before but took the plunge with the method from the SMT tutorial and it was a breeze. The only complex bit is getting the right amount of paste on, and struggling with syringes that won't suck in enough paste! I've got a STM32F407G core, and intend on using that to flash the Waveshare. It would be helpful to provide a link in the video info text (youtube) to where info on this process is. I'll certainly be hunting it down myself later today. Might be good to provide some "test as you go along" info. I don't know how feasible this is as I'm not that savvy with the design side, but I always find it helpful when doing a build where the tutorial makes me check certain sections before I embark on building the rest and then not knowing where to start on diagnosing issues (hundreds of solders are hard to check for cold solders etc) Overall, excellent and really fun build. Can't wait for the next essential kit! Oh, and the BLM mention in the video has got me hyped for that now too. King Regards, Keir

Hi! I just finished the boards from video tutorial 1. It was all very clear, straight forward and I didn't find any difficulties, but I've a lot of soldering experience :). Great to work with the video only, without all different kind of documentation to check. The video has a very high Bob Ross level, lovely soldering this way, I got really tranquillio!!! If I had to be critical, only point I would mention is next time I would also use high quality IC sockets for the 6n138 optocouplers. In the BOM are cheap ones and the video mention that the cheap ones are OK for the optocoulplers, but I had some trouble to put the IC's in nicely. I attached the Core to MIOS Studio and I could upload the sequencer app, so that's good. It could also find my SD Card but I couldn't format it. And none of the LED's did any flickering, should they?! and is there more I can do/test right now? I don't know about jumper settings or other stuff to do, but I would like to play along or test some stuff. And I didn't notice before but there isn't any ethernet socket?! I have a SeqV4 now, with LPC16 with onboard ethernet, and I use it a lot to attach my Ipad to the sequencer and play with the virtual BLM. I think that's a really cool feature, how will I be able to attach my Ipad to this new sequencer? Cheers and looking forward to build the rest! Roel
