Salut à toi ! Tout d'abord, tu verra que le forum français est vraiment calme (pour ne pas dire mort) je te conseille donc e te lancer dans l'anglais. Sinon moi je ni connait rien non plus je n'ai pratiquement jamais soudé, mis jem lance quand même. tu as toute les infos nécéssaire sur les sources que tu as cités. Mais si tu as es questions n'hésite pas à les posés ! Je pense que c'est du carement faisable soit dit en passant ! faut juste prendre son temps ! Bye

Hi ! i have still finish all the 16x16xX shematic on Eagle, but i have a little question is that normal to haven't connection on the 16 pin connector on the botton ( between the Y line switch) ???? On K1 and K2 and the pin 6 7 8 9 10 11 on my picture.

Hey allo ! Do you know witch thickness and width i have to use on my trace omn the pcb ? Also here is a standard for the mounting hole nad the trought hole (like ti put led or dil pin inside) ?

totally funky !!! So nice !! i'm in love !

Hello, First problem : i want to use livid contact but but they specify that you have to use the rectangular cantact for the small contact. The is that the 6legged LED can't be inside this contact. i seen on wilba PCB that he use rounded contact but i want to be sure these contact will works !!! a little picture to explains that : Edit : Normally that`s ok, a member of the livid forum comfirm that ! :D

Yeah !!! Thanx for the link this will help me a lot ! i work on Eagle so it will be fun to have different way to modify it ! I want to use livid buttons so my PCB wil look different ! I have just some problems with select the good parts ! (See my post before) I start to design the PCB yesterday and it will be a long way ! but i will use your design to know what is tht thickness of your traces, and some others things ! Thx !!

Hi everybody ! Are you fine ? I have again a lot of question ! Before i will start to create the PCB (I will use Eagle and i actually learning and training on it ! it will be a long way to finish that :) ) I need to do a part list for every thing i will use on the blm. i started a list with all the part : But i am totally lost on all the reference.... these are too many for me, such as the 74HC module, resistor, condensator, transistor,... Could someone help me to create a clean list ? maybe i have made some mistake so please help me ! So if you know, which part is clearly well and you have a reference, normally you can edit the part list ! Here is the PART LIST After theses correction i could take all drawing for each parts, and start to create the PCB layout ! Thx a lot for all ! and be prepare for the weekend ! :frantics:

Hi everybody ! i have another question ! What is the black led on the schema ? is this a resistor ? What are the specifications of this part ? Thx a lot all bye and have a good evening !

Hi ! Thx a lot ! i´m really motivated so it will be fun ! For the led, the link i purpose was for a bicolor led with common cathode. so they have only 2 color per led but when they are activated at the same they create a third color. I think this LED is well. no ? If i watch the PCB Schema i can see 3 holes on the center of the contact so i think he use 3 legged LED, and when i watch the video about BLM i can see 3 color on it so i think i`m right. For the contact on PCB someone could agree my opinion or maybe i´m lost for this kind of things ? Thx a lot have a good day all !

ok, it's not really important to have "pre-built" switch. After eading a lot of page; i will make the BLM with livid buttons. If i have understand the thing with this kind of switch i don't need to have buttons, only the PCB and the conductive ring on the bottom of the button is usefull ? so i have to create a PCB like that but with 16x16+X contacts ? http://midibox.org/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=7556 For the leds : this one could be fine ? Tricolor LED So maybe i could start to order and build soon !! Thx a lot, Bye !!

OK, after reading a lot and a lot of things about led and buttons here and there, i'm a little bit lost ! I think my first idea with illumec was really expensive so maybe i could do something better. A lot of people speak about bicolor led but when i see the demo video of the BLM i can see 3 color : green, red and orange. The orange is made with the green and the red leds activate at the same time ? I'm thinking about the Livid or Sparkfun buttons and maybe also their switchs, but there is a problem : For exemple : if i take this one : Buttons Sparkfun link There is only one led and only green, so i have to change that by a bicolor led ? each time i search some bicolor leds they are like the bad thing you show to me : ----|<----- ____| |____ | | ---->|----- Here is a solution for this thing ?

Hi everybody ! I think about built something for a long time... i don´t have news about SEQV4 Bulk, so i will start my first DIY midibox with the BLM. (I can´t wait more !) I have a lot of idea maybe bad, maybe good and i need your help to do good thing at all. First: Sorry for my bad english ! But i prefer to speak in english here (maybe also because the french forum is a bit too quiet ^^), and i hope i will improve my english ! First i draw a face plate for the BLM (i work with catia V5) i will expose my vision of the BLM : The face plate will be built by Schaeffer For the switch i want to use the illumec 5G with green/red leds and a round frosted white caps ( i don`t know if it`s the better way because it`s a bit expensive) but for me it seems be the easy way cause leds are integrate on them. I don`t know if these buttons are noisy (click) or no, i think i prefer silent button. I hesitate to do the button with cheapest buttons and a single rubber keypad ( i know what could be the price... and who could built it for personnal use and as a single or couple of part) If you have ideas about that, explains me ! I want to do that with a Single pcb with all the buttons mounted on it. so i have to create this on progam (i never do this before so i have to learn a lot !) Actually i try to understand something ; If the connections are the same on the midibox schema and the illumec schema For me if i connect like that. that`s works, but maybe i have to add the blackled on the illumec to have the same working things. no ? Secondary for the PCB do you know if it`s possible to do only one single fat PCB to put all the switch on it. Do you know that ? That`s all for my question actually, but i will have a lotttttttt of question during this project ! I hope you could help me ! Bye

Really nice and square demo ! i'm liking it ! ^^

ok ! nice ! i'm quite impatient that i could build my own SEQV4 !

HI all, I have a question, i recently add my name on the SEQV4 bulk order, and after i will build it, i would to built a BLM, but i have a question : Do you think i's possible to separate the BLM like a plug: for exemple when you want to use your SEQV4 without BLM you just unplug a box with the BLM and you could use the SEV4 "alone", and if you want you "re-plug" the BLM and you could use like normal SEQV4 and BLM. I'm sorry for my bad english, but i hope you will understand my question ! Thanks and bye all !

me too, i would to join the next bulk for maybe 30 black/clear knobs !!!
