  1. Hi Darrell This looks like an interesting solution to the problem of linking the two boards. But note that the cables need to be very short in order to reduce noise, the ones you linked to are 300mm, just under 12” to those of us still using imperial units and I’m fairly sure that they would be too long. The Amazon seller lists a similar set of cables that are 100mm that might be better but from what I remember from the original build discussion that may still be a bit “iffy”. Need to find the reference in the original thread, a quick effort to search didn’t locate what I was looking for, I’ll try and find time over the next couple of days to do a more thorough search. Best John
  2. Just noticed that the MA website - with a new shiny look - is back up. Appears that everything MIDIbox is in stock. Happy building!
  3. Hi Jay Tim (aka SmashTV) ceased suppling pcbs, kits, etc a while ago. Boards can now be purchased from Modular Addict. Good quality and service. However I don't think they supply kits and parts. Check MA out here: midibox Good luck John
  4. Just tried my V4 sequencer (with STM32 core) on the MacMini running OSX 10.10.2 and it sees that but again I wasn't able to check whether there is any midi data transfer. It's my work computer so no music software installed. At least TK has Mac computers, although I have no idea what OSX version he is using. I seem to remember, in the past Ploytec have been able to get Apple to fix the drivers fairly quickly. But I agree Apple isn't all it claims to be - was once a fan-boy but no more - though I still have my Mac Plus that was upgraded from one of the very first batches of Macintosh 128K's that was imported into the UK back in 1984 - cost over 2000 GBP at the time !!
  5. Hi mOOdawg I've just checked one of my GM5x5x5's on a MacMini running OSX 10.10.2 and it's not showing up at all, works just fine with OSX 10.9. Also, checked one of the original 1x1 interfaces and it shows up - but the display in the midi window of the Mac Audio MIDI Setup utility is showing the icon for the 5x5x5. Go figure! Unfortunately not in a position at the moment to test actual midi data in and out on the MacMini. However, should TK need help with this I can certainly move some equipment around to assist any troubleshooting required. All the best John
  6. Please put me down for 2 of the TPD boards, Thank you ilmenator. Best regards John
  7. Is this what you are after? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_memory_alloy
  8. Hi Bugfight Just encountered the same problem ........ you have to register to access the wiki ....... I used exactly the same username/password as the forums ....... seemed to work! Cheers John
  9. R80 is between the U1-core1 and U1-core2 PIC ic sockets. Good Luck!
  10. has not set their status

  11. I recently saw an article in Nuts and Volts magazine (Feb 2009 edition, I think) showing a PIC based controller for the DB50XG. Had USB interface, but the PIC wasn't one we use here. Sorry to be so vague but I don't actually have mag in front of me. At the time I saw this I did a search on ebay and there were very few DB50XG's for sale. John

  14. 1K in parallel with 220R is approximately 180R which means more current therefore more brightness!!
