I built 0-30V/0.002-3A linked below. It is really nice one. Still need to finish housing and add a better transformer. http://www.electronics-lab.com/projects/power/003/index.html

Cool, but I think good idea would be if you rotate J11 IIC4 90 degree and move it toward the left PCB edge and remove other J11 connectors. That will make PCB smaller as you need only one J11 anyway. DIL headers for MIDI IO would be very welcome.

Unfortunately not, but check the manufacturers webpage http://www.rowmark.com/ You can google for examples too. ;)

After calling the laser guy over and over, I finally get and answer. >:( The price for raw panels is 20EUR. Not sure about paint job. If I do it It wan`t be expensive but I would rather let pro do it, even I`m always suspicious about their quality of work due to bad experiences from the past. I would like to check other options made out of Rowmark laserable plastics as it would make my life much easier. Prof is sending me the PT10 case soon, so I can test it. I need to see how can I buy laserable meterial as their working hours overlap mine. :-\

;D ;D ;D

Bulk order..? Great idea! I really don`t see a reason why don`t we all make ourself 100mm MTC displays for our walls. The only problem for me would be going out on the roof so I can see the whole display trough window, but it is not big deal. Or better... make it remote and mount it on the building across mine. That would be cool! ;D

I`m not in hurry. I just thought I don`t see it. Do the final touches. ;) Thank you very much for your work.

Damn it..! :o I understand that "in" and "controller" ;D

Thank you Nils, but where are the PCB files?

Let`s hope for the best. For now there are just two of us. :-\ Unusual bullet shape is the matter of taste but I find it most ergonomic knob I ever tried. Very pleasant to turn whether you hold it with full grip or just with the tips. :)

I posted about these knobs on local forum and will let you know the results. I personally doubt we can get to 1000pcs. I don`t need more than I need for x0xb0x of those D shaft, but if the minimum order of 1000 would be for mixed type than I`m sure we could reach it much easier. What was about those black bullets with gray pointer? I get there are no minimum for those, right? I prefere black white myself but I`m sure even black/gray wouldn`t look bad.

That is just amazing!!! :D Congratulations Thorsten. I love when you mess with other projects. It always ended much better, or it is just more the way we like it. Not sure how those meters are realized. I`m not Reaktor user but it seams more responsive than LC meters! Is it? Looking forward to read more info about it.

There are some sample examples on the MBFM project page. You should check the pages before you decide to build a project. ;)

That is great. I love big displays! Are you sure they are big enough? ;D I did similar thing for cue management system, except I didn`t used factory displays. It was made 100% from scratch. Numbers are 200mm high and each segment have 20 super bright 5mm LEDs, and not multiplexed. ::) Separation is made using some kind of foam material. Of course, laser did precision work and I did boring part... wiring :-\

Here are some pictures from this weekend cutting session. As you can see this is sub-panel for my controller. Can`t say anything special about it except there will be at least 2 additional parts so I can have all the parts in same level. Pretty difficult job designing it as I don`t use CAD software for it so I have to visualize and errors are possible. :P I never like the idea using mechanical encoders for transport jogs. Low resolution aside, I always felt it will break shortly. So, after I tested IR interrupt sensor (recycled from printer) hooked on DIN amd make sure it work well, I decided to make my own optical encoder. I recycled HDD spinner motor as it seamed very rigid and perfect for my need. What I hate about it is that not metric thread is used so I have to improvise to mount everything on the controller. I wanted to have one piece disk but at the end I was forced to make it different, and it will look very much like the one on Vestax VCI100 controller. I want be using those ugly screws and I need to cut steel circle to cover the HDD motor that you see in center. If it had smooth, flat surface I would leave it like it is. Oh.. resolution is 80 and I`m planing to make it adjustable with screw or something so it can spin freely or to be more stiff. ;) This is probably my 4th illuminated construction, and hopefully the last one. I have good results in light spreading before but or it was too much work to assemble or too big... This one is designed to use with small 6x6 buttons, it have enough space for LED and distance so good light spreading shouldn`t be a problem. On top I`m planing to glue the smaller engraved opal acrylic cap so whole construction can`t fell out of controller and I don`t need to glue it to the button anymore. ;) I still didn`t made the top piece. I need to decide few more things about labeling.

OK Vlad. Thank you.

I don`t feel like submitting to hackaday. I tried to contact them before about some cool ideas and they never even replied. If they find it interesting they will do it anyway without even asking me.

I never expected Tarzan is able to make movies of this quality. ;D

Welcome back. ;) Hey people remember LX... Sorry, not sure I can help you.

Small drum is actually more souvenir than instrument. It can make sound but not very impressive. About link you send... I saw that before. It is much more serious editing than playing. Anyway, I liked it alot.

Maaan, that`s brilliant!!! :D

That`s great! Thank you both.

Nice rack units Pascal. Congratulations! How are those knobs for using? You beat me with that tight spacing. ;D

Here are some more old pix. The beater is actually knitting needle i stole from my mother. I find out bamboo sticks for barbecue is much better as they are light strong and elastic so all 6 HDDs are using it. I don`t have any pic right now. I`ll took few some time.

Thanks Robert. Check the Youtube. There are zillion HDD speaker videos. I personally don`t find it much interesting.
