just wanted to say hello since I've never posted on this forum before. I bought some boards from SmashTV a couple days ago and am looking forward to building a midibox when they get here 'cause the features are mighty impressive. I hope to build a 64e to begin with and to get a hang of the mios and then build a seq or two... I have a decent amount of experience with electronics as I am a tech at a company that makes HD routers and such called nVison http://www.nvision.tv/ link if you wanna see what I mean, thus most of this stuff is familair to me, circuit debugging, troubleshooting, burning pics, proms, eeproms, etc... I also happen to be the power supply tech so I might be able to offer advice to people with psu questions cause I spend a lot of time fixing and repairing all our different varieties of power supplies at my work. Hopefully, after getting my feet wet in midibox for a bit I'll be able to start contributing to this forum and/or wiki for the good of all... I also have a few good ideas I might try to implement and share with other people... e3 buttons... I think they're called smartbuttons or something... they're a 1"x1" button with a full color rgb backlight and a lcd screen in them, only have one pin for data and one for clock, plus power and switch contacts... all the drivers are ics inside the button so it you just send it serial data for color and what the lcd says. hmm... i gotta look these up anyway after the season when I have some to spare I'll prolly throw some money at tk 'cause I think he deserves it. -Ry
