I'm still a bit unsure whether I should have done some of them on vectorboard, but like this, I can attach my modules directly under each button-cluster.

I think I made a few mistakes, the first being the fact that I didn't take enough pictures.

I made my cable. I crimped on the 10 pin connector to the ribbon cable, no problem. I did my tests and it seemed ok.

When I started soldering the ribbon cable to the LCD, I think I did them upside down. It was...]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 03:02:00 +0000 http://midibox.org/forums/blog/36/entry-103-and-a-few-steps-back/ http://midibox.org/forums/blog/36/entry-102-a-few-steps-forward/
I made some progress... then I hit a bump in the road. Then, some work came in, and thank goodness for that, but it's eaten into the time I'd rather be spending getting this synth project finished.

Anyhoo... the progress. (I'll put the bump in the road on...]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 02:25:00 +0000 http://midibox.org/forums/blog/36/entry-102-a-few-steps-forward/ http://midibox.org/forums/blog/34/entry-101-mb64e-side-project/
Just thought I'd do a small blog entry on the sideproject (I consider the synths my main projects). A midibox 64e. This is a short term project, and all parts have arrived or are on their way. It's gonna have 9 encoders, lcd and some buttons + 4 expression pedal connections. One pedal is soon built - waiting for the last parts to...]]> Thu, 10 May 2012 21:52:00 +0000 http://midibox.org/forums/blog/34/entry-101-mb64e-side-project/ http://midibox.org/forums/blog/37/entry-100-sharp-infrared-distance-sensor/ I am using a Sharp2d120x, with a range from 4-30cm. I soldered its ground and source to J2, as the sensor

The sensor works quite well, except it cannot reach the...]]> Tue, 08 May 2012 20:07:00 +0000 http://midibox.org/forums/blog/37/entry-100-sharp-infrared-distance-sensor/ http://midibox.org/forums/blog/37/entry-99-soldering-the-dindout-modules/ I am working on the Douts right now, attaching the 100nF-Caps is the most

of wax are really good. All in all I am quite content with my build, still there are a few quirks with
