[Headphones and cue select buttons]

You'd be better off using a midibox to send midi controls to faders in ableton. If I recall correctly there's a 'cue output' option.

Has your soundcard got more than 1 stereo output?

Make sure you read ucapps.de also

Also, with that many LEDs you're going to need to either use a matrix or more than 1 core.

[Custom Power Supply for mb6582]

http://cgi.ebay.com....=item45f8bc8012

Thats what I used.

http://shop.ebay.com...6.c0.m270.l1313

I A-B'd it with a C64 power supply and could not hear any difference... even at excessive gains.

Modern SM power supplies switch at way higher frequencies than the older type..

The Meanwell SMPS are very popular for powering DIY audio amplifiers.

Success!

Tested with a breadboarded LED and the colours cycle as expected.

Thanks TK.

Should have action soon!

Very nice.....

Still in their wrapping. Selling as I've bought parts to build MF_V3 and these PCBs aren't easily compatible.

:)

[Simulate LED duty cycle of BLM_Scalar]

Thanks TK.

I've got my BLM_Scalar PCBs now, just wondering - is it OK to use different value resistors for the LED sections? Ie. 220ohm for green, 470ohm for red.

[Bright Red/Green 3mm LED?]

From the BLM forum ages ago:

While I haven't proved this yet, I think you would need some ultrabright waterclear bicolor 3mm LEDs, like found on eBay... and not the weak diffused kind like you find at Mouser (and what I used on my MB-SEQ). SMD LEDs might work but it's too hard to find them with good brightness and low cost, plus they might not illuminate the cap as well as a 3mm LED which is more in the middle of the hole. 3mm LEDs are cheap and available from many suppliers so that's good. It's bad enough to lock into one design/supplier of the rubber button pads.

Is this the sort of thing you mean from ebay? http://cgi.ebay.com....L-/300365559276

As far as I can see it's common cathode, bright and with clear lens.

So I bought 500 of the clear, 'bright' LEDs from ebay, and compared to the LTL1BEKVJNN Wilba used in MB-SEQ they're

- not as bright

- don't diffuse as nicely through my illuminated acrylic prototype caps

The ebay ones also don't have a polarity marking, and took at least 7 weeks to arrive. At least I got them cheap.Yes, I've learned to hang the postage cost and get samples before buying in bulk. :thumbsup:

Does anyone have a better suggestion than getting the LTL1BEKVJN? I'd prefer to shop at Mouser, but if there's a smashing deal somewhere else I'm interested. I've searched Mouser and the only options that are brighter are significantly more expensive.

Cheers :)

[KICAD library for rotary encoders]

No problem, just wanting to check I wasn't barking up the wrong tree.

I'll post my updated libraries after I get my boards back.

[KICAD library for rotary encoders]

Did you ever use these?

I was just checking over the footprint for the PEC11-Switched and it doesn't seem to match the data sheet very well.

[findbuddha is routing the BLM board...]

Cheers.

As space is tight, I've added a single solder pad near each set of headers. A cut resistor leg between boards should be plenty to hold them together, and not be too difficult to remove if needed.

[findbuddha is routing the BLM board...]

:thumbsup:

Thanks for picking that up. I should have created the proper footprints for them.

I'll have to use the 'bare' board stacking style headers that take up less space. Any idea how easily they wiggle loose? We're talking 2x 2x8 headers holding up each ~5cmx5cm board.

[findbuddha is routing the BLM board...]

Moving right along.....:sorcerer:

[Simulate LED duty cycle of BLM_Scalar]

Is it possible to simulate the LED duty cycle of BLM_Scalar with a Core32 + DOUT module? I want to check the brightness of the LEDs I've got before ordering more.

Thanks :)

[findbuddha is routing the BLM board...]

Well, scratch that last post. I've gone back to a slightly more compact version of my original layout, as it's easier to layout the button board.

This layout should be usable for both 'horizontally compact' and 'SEQ CS aligned' options, with a simple drag of components. There's a footprint for standard 6mm tactile, as well as ALPS SKPG switches (quiet action, tactile feel: http://www.alps.com/.../SKPG_list.html).

Comments please? :frantics: (I know I haven't added mounting holes to the button board yet - there's space between the buttons)

[Anyone try using PCB Artist (from 4pcb.com)?]

There's also KiCad

[findbuddha is routing the BLM board...]

Complete redo, for various reasons..... Based on TK's veroboard layout. Bigger traces than before, 12mil clearance.

Any ideas?
