Black gloss laser engraved, no hardware (Just the unused panels at the top if it is not obvious). 15$ + ship

Great, Now that MM has blown it for themselves with their garbage x0xb0xes they have moved on to ripping off MBHP stuff. Guess all those PT10 cases they have must get used for something..

Fast flash or slow flash? Sounds like something is sucking too much current for the supply u are using

I would say you could blind hole everything but the chassis screws.

Keep the corner screws for the case, there is no real way to tighten those down with sides on, no?

No, just have FPE do them for you. Click on the hole, chose a thread (UNC 4-40), then click "blind hole", choose the depth, and "place on reverse side" Then just use one of these into the panel: with one of these:

I would go with 3mm. All my rack mount enclosures always have a 1/8" thick front panel. As far as the blind holes go, go down 2.25mm deep, that is plenty for a standoff. What I prefer doing is instead of using a stand off with a male thread on one end, I use one with two female holes and then just use a set screw in the hole in the panel, that way you engage more threads since you dont need a thread relief on the stand off. I use this method on 2.5mm thick panels and it is solid as a rock. I have also had much better success with the Loctite version of JB weld (Just called Loctite Weld). After battling with JB weld with my MB6582, I dont use it for stand offs at all. A mechanical fastener will always be much better and secure

Since this thing is a rack front panel, it will be plenty thick for threaded blind holes on the back. No hardware will show on the front other than the chassis mounting stuff for a clean nice clean look. You're already going to drop a nice chunk of change on this so might as well spend the extra $$ and make it perfect. You could also have them cut a recess for the LCD to sit closer to the front. *edit* I just looked at your file and you have the thickness set at 2mm, it really should be thicker than that since the panel will flex quite a bit at that thickness

Not sure haw that would work on the MB808 since the accent is global for all voices. Like MPN stated already, it is already included in the 9090 and you can already do this with the MB808 sequencer is velocity layers for controlling the 9090. It would definitely be cool to do it 909 style though in the MB808 Seq

Just to double check, you have the midi in and out connected to the core right?

you have to load MIOS on to the chip after the boot loader, you need to do that before sending it apps. If it is sending the upload request, it appears that it is working correctly. Can you not upload MIOS?

I use this thing: http://cgi.ebay.com/iCA01-USB-Microchip-PIC-Programmer-Set-ICSP-Adapter-/270714223597?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f07d33bed PICKIT2 compatible.

I think the TX has a much better interface then the DX, number pad, bigger screen, more parameters on screen at once etc. Are you looking to do something like a Jellinghaus programmer or just an LCD with some controls?

I've pretty much shelved this pending the case. I did attempt a run of boards however, for whatever reason I had a batch of ultra thick copper boards when combined with my old developer resulted in a big mess with no good boards.

I'll find out. I am also thinking about them doing windows as well..

Ok everyone, I'll be doing a roll call for the stateside ppl on the list shortly since I want to get these ordered soon. I have a 20% off coupon to FPE so if we get 10 ppl to go in on this, they will $128 each :frantics:

you can get an etch resistant pen similar to a sharpie and just draw the circuit. to the OP: What also helps is to have bubbles running up the FeCL3 solution. I got a kit that has a pump that bubbles air through a base with slots for boards. Pretty much any sort of agitation helps

Here is a good example of a midi bus powered PIC12 device (midi to sync24 converter): http://www.colinfraser.com/m2d/m2d.htm

Jameco has some reasonably priced racks: http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StoreCatalogDrillDownView?langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&freeText=rack%20enclosures&search_type=jamecoall

No, that only works with super low current devices. I've seen devices based on pic12s but the pic18 draws too much current (I dont know if even a pic16 would cut it)

I thought philetaylor got a quote aleady..

Is there a price break for quantity? Thats well over 500 clear ones already

The whole concept, there is a ton of wiring tiny ass wires to tiny ass parts. You need LEDS with leads like this: , ones with solder pads wont work. I cant find pics of mine but here is Wilba's
