  1. fijn dat er iemand reageert....pff

    Krachtwerk dit is geen synthforum.nl

    Ook van mijn kant goed initiatief. Doch heb ik hier mijn twijvels over want a ga je step a, step b , of step c maken. Hoe wordt de layout 100% exact hetzelfde? Die van mij dus al niet want ik vind het orgineel niet zo.

    Etcetc het leuke van midibox.org is dat je lekker zelf kunt hobbyen. heb je hulp nodig dan is er altijd iemand die klaar voor je staat.

    In iedergeval success met jouw bouwproject.

  2. Nice!

    The metal seems to be quite thick? How much mm is it?

    3 millimeter it is a frontpanel of a blind panel of a serverrack.
    Am wondering will the baking in the oven do any damage to the spray paint coat?

    It depends. Never get your oven higher than 200 degrees and keep watching after an hour to check if you see bubbles if you see them open the lid of the oven.

    I don't know what paint i have but it remained unburned.

  3. this is amazing!!!!

    very good job! ouaw!

    is it possible to have a bigger pic? looks very nice!

    I'm still looking for someone, somewhere, something (a printer lol) to print white stuff... (hard to make black and white panel!)

    When i advance in my work i will add close ups (than you can see that i did not succeed 100%.

    I do not think there is a way to print white. So you have to spraycan your panel with good paint and then apply lazertran ;)

    I'm working on something similar myself, only I plan not the whole user interface, but only the Step B interface in a one unit 19" rack, it's kinda hard to see for me, but is that a two unit rack? Anyway - COOL!!

    Yes this is a 2U it fits (very tightly and i made an ubermistake! The lcd does not fit in the case cause of the print attached AAAARGGHHH but i am gonna be creative ;)

    But I've been trying to get some of that Lazertran stuff myself, but noone seems to even know what it is. Can someone help me? Maybe a webshop where I can get it? And - do I need a color laser printer to do the job?

    This is a transparrent sheet attached to paper. You must print on it in reverse. (you can compare it to the stuff you get when building plastic hoby kits you know the decal. Those are the images you have to put in water and then slide of and attach to the plastic kit)

    go to www.lazertran.com and locate the nearest location. Find the email adres and mail your order i ordered a pack of a4 and a pack (4 sheets) of a3 for my 19" He will ask your creditcard and i got the pack after a week. I had 3 copies of the panel on 1 A3 for a try out i suceeded after the second one (meaning i have a spare one.) If it scrateches i will sandpaper the panel and paint the panel and reapply the sheet.

    So make your image and make a test print. This can be on more a4 papers if you have a large panel. Just cut it right.

    Look if the image fits the holes (in case it's predrilled like mine)

    When you are happy try to get as many copies on 1 sheet. Look for a laserprinter that prints below 200 degrees! Very important or else your paper will kill the printer since it will burn itself on the rolls! Usually expensive ones or printshops have these printers or photocopiers (select sheetpaper to decrease fuser temprature)

    Cut out the image and put it into cold water for 1 or 2 minutes. The deal is now loose from the paper.

    Make your panel wet.

    Slide the decal onto the panel gently. When you have placed it gently get all air bubles out with a sponge by rubbing it (this will clean the the decal aswell)

    When you are statisfied let it drie for 2 hours

    Then put it into a oven for 1 hour on lowest temprature.

    After that hour increase temprature every 10 minutes until you reach 200 degrees celcius. Stop th eprocess is the sheet looks very shiny. You must be gentle i can better take long instead of short.

    Let it cool off. Your done. Fill all small bubbles that still existed with paint or marker to make it a bit nicer.

    You are done.

    Do not expect powder coating but it is still firm and quite scratch proof.

    I will awnser more questions if you like.

  4. well its my first try and i quite succeeded. I don't think alot of people will like it tough.

    sidpanel.jpg

    I got the holes done by schaeffer i send in my own panel.

    After that i applied some lazertran paper.

    To do this i printed the schaeffer panel with pdfwriter.

    Then i imported it in photoshop and applied the images and colors etc. I copied this on lazertranpaper (i am lucky to have access to a 100K color printer wich suits perfect for this paper) and then i put it in oven to get it burned on the panel.

    It looks quite nice but i could have done better. But hey not bad for a first try ;)

  5. Preparation of PIC18F cores

    Step by step:

    I read this over and over and over :D

    Do i stuff all cores at once. Power the unit.

    Use the link cable of JDM to prepare the master and finish it all. After testing sid 1 i connect this cable to slaves 1 by 1? And repeat the procedure (according to the steps in the step by step guide)

    Sorry if i sound confusing

    p.s. the cores j10 only have 4 wires connected right?

  6. 1st: No, you can use 15 Volts on both. The regulator on both PCBs will downgrade the voltage to 9 Volt / 12 Volt. No prob. Do use TK´s PSU recycle! It´s great!

    Really i tought you had to replace some resistors etc for the 8580. This is great so i can just swap them when i like.

  7. Hello i have a rather dumb question.

    My setup looks exactly like the drawing except the location of the power board. My power board is on the right side and i start feeding power from the right side.

    I have attached the cap to sid 1 instead of sid 4 due to the powering (from right to left instead of drawing)

    Is this wrong or does it not matter where it is attached?
