He might be busy recovering from the tornado that passed through his town.

All that is uncritical. Have a nice day, too!

Anything digital at these clock rates you can pretty much just route away. As soon as analogue signals are involved I'd be more cautious. However, all these boards are rather uncritical (and I don't have experience with critical analog signals myself). Why would you want to redesign at all?

Depends on the board!

Look in the Wiki for Wilba's SEQ, the parts page has it all.

Yes obviously! Please PM me with your address and tell me how fast you need this - I might be able to send this from Germany end of June. MUCH cheaper shipping...

Sure :-). There are three boards left, and I have ordered a few more duo LED matrix modules to go with them if you want.

I am so old I can readily confirm this :phone:

Sure, you only have to code this yourself. If you are good at programming this should be absolutely doable. Maybe run the MIDIbox NG on the core?

I'd try to sell the parts on ebay. The AIEB2 can be used in other Yamaha equipment as well. It's very unlikely that you'll be able to re-use parts (apart from the obvious encoders, tact switches, power supply etc) in a MIDIbox DIY project.

I'd love to see a virtual memory area mapped to the shift registers that drive the duo LED matrix. Any display functionality would then be as simple as poking the respective bits (8x16 duo LED matrix = 256 bits), something that my poor brain is much better at than looping through rows and columns...

There is a dirty hack available (PM me) that provides the original functionality of Hawkeye's 8x8 LED matrix approach, but for the 8x16 version as on my TPD module. You get to select the color, but obviously there are many more possibilities for this kind of "display". Unfortunately, I am not a programmer, so I lack the skills to implement something that would be up to TK's coding... TK, however, has one of the TPD modules and might come up with a proper integration. Let's hear what he says :smile: .

Where are you located?

Good to hear - thanks for your feedback! There is some coding necessary to make both matrices work, PM me for modified files.

I have successfully ignored that factor so far. So far it has not been relevant for any my Ponoko / Formulor orders at all.

Just a little bump to advertise for cheap shipping inside/from Germany. If you contact me by tomorrow Thursday 18:00 Berlin time i can take stuff with me when I travel there on Friday.

Peter, that's all in the Wiki - as long as the modules share the same size and footprint (and I believe that the pinout shown in the Wiki's datasheet is somewhat "standard") it will work. I have used modules with common anode pins, but adapting the software for common cathode modules should not be a problem. I am not sure the modules I used are brand modules. On the backside it says M12088A/BEG and WLG PC5. Those from Watterott share the same data sheet, they might be identical? Btw, I have 3 boards left. Best, ilmenator

Yes, you have PM.

Ok, so for now all the LED matrix modules are gone. I still have some boards left. That was fast... @SiliconHeaven: Yes, this module can sit nicely next to the BLM16x4 as documented in the Wiki. WRT shipping costs: you have PM

Hi, I ordered the first batch of TPD boards and have some (7) leftovers. 10€ plus shipping each. I'll be traveling to Germany end of next week from where shipping is extra cheap compared to Norway where I am normally located. BEWARE: smd soldering is required to finish this board. Also, I have two sets (2 pieces each) of LED matrix modules that I can include for 6€ per set. First come first serve, PM me if interested. Best, ilmenator

Nice looking box you have there! Congratulations!!

Well you said the link was dead so you should know what link you are talking about, don't you? (I'm puzzled...)

Indeed, I was not thinking of a guillotine-type of device, but rather a sharp knife with a disposable blade. That worked for me!

Apparently Doug is not on this forum anymore - there is no point in posting the issue here. You might try what Tim/SmashTV suggests a few posts up. Good luck!

Good to hear - now have fun with your SEQ!
