  1. STM32 based Core Europe

    in Bulk Orders

    Posted

    I second this!

    In order to avoid that somebody could get the wrong impression:

    You wrote to Smash:

    This sounds a bit like you are asking for a discount... maybe you don't know the role of Smash - one of our most respected forum members!

    Smash worked very hard in the last months to achieve best prices for the community, he sells the boards and kits for almost non-profit. It would be rude to ask him for a deal to make the boards even cheaper for a bulk order.

    I'm not sure if I misunderstood your question, but for me it left this impression and I want to ensure, that the facts are clear to everybody.

    No, with due respect, I have asked for the possiblity, not that i insist on a block pricing.

    Another point: germany isn't the best location for importing such a huge amount of goods, you would have to pay some extra taxes and duty since you are acting as a trader (at least for our well known Zollamt). This could quickly increase the price by 30% and more! In addition, the shipping will be delayed by +1..2 weeks once it goes through the german Zoll process...

    I asked for volunteers in the hope that we get some interesting options to save shipping costs. If nobody (of the experiences members in Europe) is interested, it could even be sufficient that orders are joined for a group of two or three people (block-wise) - especially if they are living in the same region - so that shipping costs can be easily divided.

    Short summary: you definitely won't save money by doing a big order

    If there are is a better location for importing the goods, then it would make more sense to choose someone from another location in Europe or to choose the block wise option. As far as I know all europe countries have to pay taxes or charges...

    If its easier for Smash to order small amounts of PCB´s, the bulk order will be passed or restructured

    Best Regards, Thorsten.

    Tobsen, I applaud your willingness to do this bulk order (although I strongly doubt you have any idea what you are getting yourself into). On the other hand, you're going about this the wrong way imo.

    Thanks, yes its my first bluk order i like to realize. I have ordered on many groupbuys already and i think i can manage it, because i have lot of sparetime the next time.

    1) This is going to be a big bulk order. I am not sure if I would want someone I neither know nor have done any business with as of yet and of whom I don't even know if he's ever handled a bulk order (let alone one of this size).

    Well as i mentioned, its my first one and TK asked if there are any volunteers to handle the bulk order. I´m not that known, thats right, but for me it would be nice to contribute something to the Forum.

    2) Before jumping the gun and starting this, you certainly could and in my opinion definitely should have asked TK if it's okay that you do that and Smash if he's ready and willing to do that order. Contacting Smash after you already announced the order is not really the nice way to go about things. You're basically offering to sell an unknown number of core32 pcbs and kits, not even knowing how many are in existence.

    Yes, i wrote the mail a bit late, to get some piece of information about Smash´s stock on these PCB´s.

    3) The board in your pictures is not what's being shipped. Generally not a good thing to do.

    4) I do understand that for some reason people are very excited and can't wait to get their hands on a core32. Still: go easy on this. The core32 hasn't even been announced yet and you're already in full-blown megasale mode. Patience is a virtue.

    Concerning the anouncement, I´m a bit surprised that its a bit early, because Smash has it already in his shop and on ucapps its also listed. Patience is a virtue. Thats right, if it takes time, than it takes time.

    As I said, i would be glad to to this job, even if its a bit too early. If Smash TV does not ship such amounts, it would be pity. But i assumed that if he sell these PCB´s on his shop, he will have already a bunch of this industrial-made PCB´s

    CORE STM32 Bulk Order from Smash TV

    http://www.avishowtech.com

    mbhp_core_stm32_v2.jpg

    Since there seems a lot of request of the Core32 Module it would be nice to get a few people, to make a bulk order for Europe, to save some shipping costs.  

    Available are:

    Core32 Module PCB With IC

    STM32 chip presoldered, Double Sided, Plated through holes, HASL plated, Soldermask, Silkscreen legend. RoHS Compliant.

    $25.95

    http://www.avishowtech.com/mbhp/mbhp_core32r1.html

    and:

    Core32 Parts Kit without PCB

    Does not include board or STM chip.-

    Includes all parts that mount directly to the board.

    $20.00

    Therefore i´m collecting orders, either for the PCB or the complete Kit. As soon i have an amount of orders I´ll post the price and paying Info (Paypal only!) on this Thread. As well as the Taxes that we possibly have to pay.

    All shipping costs and charges will be divided on all buyers.

    Please post how many PCB´s or Kits you like to order.

    e.g.

    2 x PCB

    3 x Kits

    After enough orders are collected, check your emails daily and make a PayPal payment as soon as you receive a payment request. I´ll post any news here on this Thread.

    If you cant pay dont make an order.

    regards

    T.

    ORDERS:

    rosch 1x PCB + 1x KIT

    olga42 2x PCB + 2x KIT

    Intermedi8 1x PCB + 1x KIT

    tobsen 1x PCB + 1x KIT

  11. Parametersprünge - Encoder etc.

    in Deutsch

    Hallo,

    Für ein kleines Live-Setup hätte ich gern ein Rack-Synth (microQ,MicroModular,etc.)

    und ein MB Rotari Controller. Jetzt stellt sich mir die Frage, ob Parameterwerte direkt von dem Midicontroller abgeholt werden oder nicht. Sonst würde es beim Benutzen des Controllers lästige Parametersprünge geben.

    Der microQ hat die Möglichkeit des "Controller-Send", d.h. er sendet per midi + sysex die aktuellen Werte der Parameter mit, jetzt hoff ich doch, dass die Midibox das ganze richtig interpretieren kann...

    Benutzt jemand einen Synth mit Controller und könnte mal Auskunft geben, wie es da mit Controllersprünge ausssieht...

    Interessant wäre zu Wissen welche Synth noch die aktuellen Werte der Parameter übertragen...

    Danke!

    Hi,

    Sehr schön!, wenn da nicht die Fehlersuche wäre - das treibt mich auch manchmal in den Wahnsinn...

    Ich probier´s immer mit:

    - Kabel zwischen den Modulen vertauscht?

    - alle gepolten Bauteile richtig rum?

    - kommt Saft an?

    - kalte Lötstellen?

    - keine Beinchen von den Ic´s abgeknickt

    - nochmal checken

    - nochmal checken u.s.w.

    Als ich MiosStudio erneut öffnete, verband ich zuerst die Geräte miteinander.

    ist das so richtig?!? Ich hab übrigends ein USB-Midi-Interface für günstige 12€ in der Bucht erstanden.

    Hätte noch den Microsoft - Dingens abgeschaltet...

    Der Rest sieht ganz gut aus, an der Software dürfte es nicht liegen, denk ich...

    Viel Erfolg beim testen!

    Hallo Tobsen,

    wie lang sind eigentlich die Kabel zu (und zwischen) den einzelnen Modulen?

    Encoder-Problem: hast Du schonmal einen zusaetzlichen R+C am Ende der DIN-Kette ausprobiert?

    Gruss,

            Thorsten.

    P.S.: weitere Erfahrungsberichte wuerden mich sehr interessieren

    Die Kabel sind sehr knapp, ca. 30 - 40 cm, die Module sind alle von hinten auf dem Panel montiert.

    Allerdings, hatte ich erst nur SC bzw. nur RC terminiert. Mit beiden Pins scheint es jetzt zu klappen, der Encoder von Step 9 und 15 funktioniert wieder normal.

    Bis jetzt hängen wieder nur 300R Widerstände dran, wie bei Stuart...

    Werde die Tage noch die Kondensatoren dazuschalten und dann nochmal Ergebnisse posten...

    Danke! :)
