hello nils & everyone,
i'm interested in getting 5-10 gm5 "chips" (pre-burned atmel AVR).
PLUS, i would also be interested in (at least) 1 pcb with a proven layout. (i don't really care if it is 5 or just 1 out, 5 in/outs would be very nice and practical though)
but i am new in midibox world and am confused. i understand that i have to join a group-order list in the wiki.
http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/gm5x5x5_pcb_bulk_order
i was just about to drop my name on the gm5x5x5 pcb order list, when it seemed very unclear to me,
a) whether the list is still active (can i jump on now?)
b) if the list is for pcb purchases (it says so at the top) or just for the AVR microcontrollers (gm5) , because it says "chips" above the "who wants some - round 3"-list
c) does a gm5x5x5- PCB (for ~10 euro) include the actual gm5-controller?
d) if it is a list for ordering just the gm5-microcontrollers, what is the price for that?
any help would be appreciated, i really tried my best jumping between the wiki, forum and the usb-midi.com pages. but i just couldn't get it clear enough to put my name there.
as i said in the beginning, i am mostly interested in USB-to midi bridge for my own project, but a proven pcb would probably help a lot.
if it would be easier (faster) for me to just order the bare gm5 microchips, i'd prefer that!
also, i'm a berliner and ready to meet in a u-bahnhof with people that sell this stuff!
