yeah, incredible, you can sand it full pressure with a K60-equipped belt sander and quite nothing happens :)
-
Already looking really good!
-
Also, I´m interested in how you do your 16x16+X BLM? Got that on my open list... Are there already PCBs available for it?
-
Wow! That is a big effort! :thumbsup:
-
Mhm after watching that video I want an oldschool 256x64 OLED galaga-style shooter :-)
-
yo, or the bfg9000 photon emitters, but these are military grade :)
-
I like it - it will be sufficient :-)
-
Yo! Nice diffusion! But am a little bit sceptical, if it is sufficient to backlight those knobs brightly enough for Emerald City :-)
-
Thats interesting - how do you cut it? Meaning the circular holes for LEDs, encoders, etc. ?
Bye,
Peter
-
Ah, that is also a good idea :-)
-
If you do, you might ask Wilba - he potentially has some neat riser PCBs left - which come in handy as the tactile switches directly below and above the display need to be levelled up :-)
-
Looks fantastic!
You could consider the new green Newhaven 4x20 OLED for additional pimping :-)
Best regards,
Peter

Thx, dude!
Methinks, I know your emerald green one from facebook - very nice! It inspired me to do the red one :-)
That brightness control is very cool - I have a spare LM317 + 10k pot, but for now am happy that the CS and the Frontpanel are back together :-)
I´ve added your suggestion to the tutorial for other illumination crazies - thanks for reporting it!
Bye,
Peter

Heheh, thanks Smithy!
No fans - just passive cooling with special SID-sized heatsinks:
- but you know that pic already.
:-)
-
That sounds good :-) You won´t regret it!

Hi Antonio,
the source code is here:
But you need the exact same display... Noritake CU20045-UW5J VFD (Mouser 775-CU20045-UW5J)
You can also get the compiled MB6582 .hex binaries from me, of course :-)
Greetz!

Thanks a lot for your responses :-) They made me very happy :-)
It is only that bright, when its quite dark in the studio (long exposure here) - you don´t see the LEDs shining through the knobs - also I adjusted the resistors for the "normal LEDs" to match the brightness of the knobs (220R).
The VFD on the other hand is really bright, which is nice because it can be filtered to nearly all colors and still retains enough photon emission to be stunning - it is a really recommended upgrade from a standard LCD :-).

Good it was your invention - i saw the marketing guys at osram led division go berzerk with names like "ultra red" and "hyper red", so "porno red" is not soo far off, we will likely see it in 2012 :)
-
and don´t use "photoshop -> adjust hue" - i would notice that heheheh
-
did they sell as "pornographic red"? lolz
those marketing guys are insane :-)
Nao waiting for a poidh of Emerald City!

Arti, while I understand your wish to preserve things, he has "just" converted an empty case - which would have rotten on some basement anywhere in the world - converting it to a much loved and often-used midibox is a great thing to do, so others can see how fine the zx spectrum 128k was (i did not know it before!). Also, this conversion was done with a lot of dexterity and good handicraft knowledge and I think it looks marvelous :-)
Bye,
Peter
-
5 stars!
Extremely nice!!
Another MIDIbox of the week vote :-)
Where did you get the buttons from?
Best regards,
Hawkeye
-
ah, and greetings from lava city :-)
-
yes, put the leds really close to the center or they won´t shine through...
have fun... it is... meditative work :-)

yes, if your belt sander can stand it :)
