Hello, This is no. #4! ;)
Inside the beast:
Note , power/USB connection is not based on Micro-match here cause I used a first version wCore I already own.
So this one is little bit customised.
The MEC switches:
I used 5GTH920+1LS096-15.0 instead of 3FTH9+1S11-16.0. +
In this series, without smd led model accept regular 3mm led. The led is easy to install. The 1LS caps is made for that too.
Like for the 3FTH9 model, led must be bent like this.
Switch has specific position for the led's legs.
The Soft Touch knob https://www.thonk.co.uk/shop/sifam-soft-touch-encoder-knobs/
I was obliged to adapt it to flush the surface. Without modification they are 5mm under the surface :/
Then first I made a wood support to be able to mill it precisely.
Before milling:
After:
Result is perfect, at pushed position the knob fits inside the hole of the case.
A 5mm diameter led window.
For that purpose I used a special cast acrylic for led diffusion https://www.trotec-materials.com/laser-materials/acrylic-sheets/troglass-led.html
Surface of the beat led will be plane, colour is homogenized in the entire hole, clear led are usable and placed under.
...
The two screens are regular LCD(not OLED) cause I had it in stock, but it's definitively the next update.
They are not low profile then ribbon must be soldered directly to the LCDs, no enough room for the connectors.
I replaced the IIC Board by a MCAN connector(RJ11) and 2 DIN Sync Outputs.
I will not use the expansion board for the moment then I put a blank plate. Voilà! This is my SeqV4+
I got no problem to build this big box, with Peter's tutorial it's a child game. I strongly recommand to follow his tutorial cause there's a lot of tips you have to know and you can't guess!
In general this is a very well though and designed project, the case is very precise, if you follow the instruction all will fit perfectly.
The final result is beautiful, awesome :) Thanks to Andy, Peter, Adrian and Thorsten for their time, their effort and their passion!
Thanks guys for that gift, I love it!!!!!!
Best regards
Bruno
