FYI http://www.pennyandgiles.com/docGallery/85.PDF Could be interesting to someone. Haven't looked at prices or availability yet, sorry.

I'm probably not going to go through with this anymore. Maybe later. We'd need to order at least ten for any discount at all.

Well, I'm going with green as well (from Wilba). Maybe some other time. :)

Ha, nearly! Just around the corner in New Zealand (Fosh 'n chops :) ) That's why I posted. Hopefully no offense caused. If so, then I apologise. I'm actually gonna buy some LCDs off Wilba anyway; maybe later I might swap them out for different colours. I'm probably trying to rush things as I am looking to strike while our dollar is high (apparently the highest in 22 years). And I can't wait to start building these things :) Andy

Yep, but I'm sadly unable to read, write or speak any C :-[ I might just grab a MOTU interface that will do the routing/splitting/merging for me.

Hmmm, not too sure where to put this one... Would it be possible to add more inputs to the MIDI merge project? What would the programming be like?

Just PMed you Wilba

Don't get me started with shipping ;) When I look at the datasheet, I see the dreaded Vee. I'm guessing this means negative contrast voltage, right? :-\ Still keen?

It was around a week ago. Maybe I'm being opportunistic, but I don't think it hurts to ask! I mean, the cost of shipping is more than the cost of an LCD! And it's good for the planet 8) Peace

Hi folks I am interested in building at least a MIDIBox SEQ, and was thinking about making it pretty e.g. backlit LCDs, duo LED matrices etc. At Smithy's suggestion, I am looking at organising a bulk order for backlit LCDs. My obsessive trawling has so far mostly unearthed only green backlights for 40x2. However, crystalfontz offer green, blue and white backlight options: https://www.crystalfontz.com/cart/pricing.php?product=4002a I was looking at a white backlit LCD. When the order increases from 1+ to 10+, the price reduces to US$22.36 (saving $13). Other colours are possible, but would require a minimum order of 20 units. (Red would be my prime choice.) So, is anybody interested in 40x2 LCDs with alternative backlight colours? Andy Edit: Skip to the last page to read more about this Bulk Order (organised by Fussylizard)

Hi again. Being on the bottom of the world means everything is expensive (well at least components), and that shipping is also. If I was to order, say, two 40x2 LCD screens from crystalfontz and have them sent to SmashTV, would he be able to repackage them with an order of his circuit boards/kits? Or, does anyone else have a better idea? Thanks (I did email through his site, but did not receive a reply)

Hi there! Awesome site; I have been looking here for a few months, particularly at the uCApps SEQ. When I noticed you could easily add an AOUT to the fray... well, lets just say I'm certainly going to join your ranks now! Just a quick question: Is it possible to implement MIDI merge in software for the SEQ? Or is an additional CORE module running MIDImerge required? I tried a search, but couldn't quite find a definite answer. Thanks again; I'm sure you'll hear from me soon! Andy
