  2. I have one on the way. I'm thinking control surface board with the mods and maybe midi that will just plug in on top
  3. why not just use the CHD device, works perfectly for the 808 http://www.chd-el.cz/index.php?id=358&lngid=en
  4. would help if you listed where you are located. Fast and cheap are rarely used in the same sentence so don't get your hopes up. We use PCBFabexpress for our protos at work but they are far from cheap. If you can live with 2 weeks and it's small, try OSHpark
  5. http://misw.us/p2_blm_case.svg Make sure you double check that. You will want a hole somewhere for the connections
  6. Kester 331 for a water soluble flux (i.e. clean with warm water)
  7. what i found interesting about the trellis is the fact that it's all connected to i2c right out of the gate and although that limits you to 128 it still simplifies thing considerably on the back end. With the sparkfun kit, you still have to sort out the shift registers etc but with this, it should be good to go

  9. Just out of curiosity, (if accessable) can you post a picture of how your OLED is connected? The 8 bit thing has been my bane for a while. If I understand correctly, the new connections are NOT the same thing as bridging the SMD pins on the bottom?

    LCD Window 2

    came out nice! Windows give such a nice finished look..
  11. Mine is a 6582 x8 but i've built full 6581s, both chips generate a lot of heat I always use switching vRegs for the 5V rail since I never use the C64 PSU, using a linear one there would compound the problem.
  12. not sure how helpful heatsinks will be without airflow. I have vents on mine and a fan with an off switch, SIDs get crazy hot and some airflow over them wouldnt hurt. A single SID in a big ass open commodore case with vents is one thing, 8 of those parts (drawing 700 mA +) cramped into a tiny space is a completely different scenario. Will it work without a fan? Sure Do you NEED a fan? No Is it good to run everything at an elevated temperature? Probably not and I dont care to find out seeing that there is $250 worth of SID chips in there
  13. I used to make a several parts with slightly different dimensions but I never do anymore, the kerf is consistent enough that it will snap in, it will either be a little tighter or looser but always enough..
  14. There is an easy way to make stuff snap fit. I use illustrator but the process should be the same for any program: Draw the "hole" part first, set the stroke to 0.2mm (this is the kerf, the material the laser burns away), then outline the stroke. The outside line will be extents of the resulting hole. Do the same thing to that outer line (stroke for 0.2mm and outline stroke) for the mating part but in the opposite direction (in) so the final hole size and the cutout part have the same dimensions when you take the laser beam width into consideration. The laser never cuts perpendicular to the material, there is always a little angle and the parts will snap toghether
  15. Not really, with something that small, OSHpark can make them super cheap, no setup, and free shipping.. They simply ignore the cutout in the price and charge for the total rectangular area. Those should be $5.72 each ($17 for 3 including shipping)
  16. He got it working on a bare core without the CS (I sent him one to try to sort it out), I could duplicate that here as well but it crashes if you connect it to a MB6582 mainboard, you get garbled display once you start using the controls it will eventual go out. Someone with time, a MB6582 mainboard, and knowledge of writing drivers may figure it out. It's not the same thing Hawkeye used in his. I got very excited about this as well and bought 5 but they do NOT work with any existing driver. If you want to give it a go, I'll send you one, just pay shipping
  17. dont bother, they dont work without a custom driver. i have one i can sell you cheap if you want to give it a go
  18. Ok, Initial findings: SeqV4: Works fine SeqV4L: Works fine The app itself is a little rough around the edges, I've had FCs and black screens when messing with the configurations and there is some lag on the feed back occasionally (the red bar going by) but everything works as it should. I only moved the "connected/disconnected" button since once lemur reformatted the project for the different aspect ratio, with was overlapped by another control I did look at the CV project and that seems like it needs more formatting adjustments for Android but nothing big, just moving stuff around but my main problem is that I dont have a MIOS32 environment set up to build the binary, If someone could compile the project for the LPC core, I will test it but I dont have the time to get the MIOS32 compiler up and running today.
  19. Yeah, the "USB tethering" which is setting it up as a network device via USB cable to the PC, pretty pointless. I'll wave the OTG flag at the forums for a while and see what happens. nTrack and TouchDAW support USB Midi interfaces just fine (I run GM5s on my phone when testng in the lab, pretty handy actually), hopefully Lline will get with the program soon
  20. grr, Did some more digging and OTG usb midi is NOT supported on Android which is some B.S.. Half the reason I bought this was with the assumption that it would be supported since just about all other midi apps work fine at this point with OTG midi devices. On a better note, tested the V4L and it works, I get some lag with the time bar going by sometimes but everything appears functional. I need to change the magjack on the big seq before I can test there but i'll be doing that shortly
  21. excellent. Configure the IP via terminal? Wasnt sure how to do that..
