GM5: Least-cost USB-MIDI Interface Chip for 4.50 EUR

[Gerrit]

uh,oh

Someone increased the order above me.

As far as I remember I was above the 250 chips mark.

Now I'm just below....

Let's hope, that we reach 500 pieces.

Gerrit you are correct, someone has edited their order (actually, it seems a few people did) and pushed a few people off the first batch.

This is not cool, people. You're taking chips away from someone else because you planned poorly. That's rude and selfish. I'm looking at you, Edis.

Gerrit please go through the past revisions, find the people who have edited their order to push you off the list (with turuloid and chazworth and maybe others), and move their additions into the second batch of 250. You should end up where you were before. Let me know (in a PM or in the chat room) if you need any help.

A week later you say, 'listen im a little short'

But she says 'no scratch, no snatch'

You say 'look it is better to give'

But she says 'beat off creep'

I can find the one change from "Edis", but we can only go back to the "external edit" from 127.0.0.1 on Oct. 20th.

Is more history reproducable?

[stryd_one]

Check each of the changes since then, you'll see he increased his order by 3. Don't forget to look for the others too.

[Edis]

Hallo all

Much smooth over, doesn't know I'm, that the it other move down.

I thought that am as though order all quantity.

I'm sorry, but I don't know much English.

[stryd_one]

About the same thing here,  :-[

$15 for a chip and no PCBs to Canada. Add $7 for each chips.

I won't order I guess, to build two interfaces I'd need two chips and PCBs shipped ($33) + parts ($15) + boxes ($10) + jacks ($12) + shipping for parts ($25), I'd rather solder the MIDI in and out pins in my laptop's sound chipset and just buy a commercial USB interface for my other computer.

Package arrived today.

thanks TK.

[tomcody]

Received my parts today - the pcb is beautiful :D, thanks TK and good luck everybody soldering the chip ;)

[cimo]

My first smd chip went in beautifully, can t see 2 channels though, only 1, anything i should check out?

Simone

[TK.]

1/2 Channels??? You should see 5 MIDI IO Ports if J1/J2/J3 are connected to ground (default)

If you only see a single MIDI IO Port regardless of the J1/J2/J3 selection, check that Pin #25 is properly connected to ground. If you are unsure, solder Pin #25, and #5/#6/#7 again

Best Regards, Thorsten.

[Flemming]

I received my GM5 + PCBs today :) thanks!!!

... and i must agree, it looks really good :)

hi Thorsten

i have the jumpers set to 2 I/Os

i rechecked all those pins and they all go to GND.

driver is recognized as supposed in the Audio-Midi setup (OSX)

Simone

EDIT: i didn t have time to check it out but i had a revelation: 0 stands for connected to GND. :-[

[nILS]

And that revelation was called "ultra" and happened in the chat ;-)

sshhhhh

ok it s all worky worky now, i am surprised of how easy was doing the smd stuff, all in all it s even easier then DIL, can you imagine having to solder 32 pads... pfff
