Simone, Sorry to hear that. :( I have several friends in the states, but shipping as a normal letter to Brazil became dangerous as they don't have tracking and due changes in customs regulations. I lost two packages in last three months. The cheapest option with tracking is Priority Mail, but at initial prices of US$18 for 1lb package, I'm affraid the final costs become prohibitive. Also I found communication with SmashTV is not so easy. I've dropped him two emails w/o answers in the last two months. I've no idea what is the total weight for a 6 CORE + 12 AIN + 12 DIN + 12 DOUT kits package. I can't get a quote for Priority Mail at USPS web site without this weight estimate. Let me see if TK or other official voice can elaborate on BRD files. Thanks for your time. Yanko

Hi all, I'm a complete newbie to midibox and my english is getting worst every year (thanks to 20 years of computer programming) so please, let me apologise for any typo and the absolute lack of technical knowledge in microcontrollers, schematics etc. :) I have little knowledge in electronics, but already did few stompboxes projects and know how to deal with a multimeter. I live in Brazil and electronics parts and everything related are hard to find things. Also, importing is almost prohibitive due high customs rates (60% over invoice+shipping). That's why I'm trying to build my own MIDI controller all by myself. I mean: build PCBs and solder every single piece with my own hands. Having come across SmashTV, I found improved PCB versions (CORE_R4, AIN_R4, DIN_R5, etc) that would free me from a lot of jumpering. Unfortunately the schematics and PCB layouts aren't updated at uCApps.de. Any chance to have them updated? I'd like the Eagle or Gerber (.BRD I think) files, so I could order them locally with a company that accepts batches of six boards. Thanks in advance.
