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


TK.

Recommended Posts

Mine arrived today! You shipped it Thursday, its now Saturday....thats <3 days from Germany to the UK (!!!) Not sure what method you used, but wow, it usually takes longer than that for packages from London to get to me. Safe to say, I'm impressed!

I'll try not to spam the thread with glowing feedback, but its all good, and well worth the money.

I haven't checked the forum for this, but if anyone is new to soldering the TQFP32 GM5 chip (at90USB162) and needs help/photo's on techniques, I would be happy to take some snaps as I solder it. Been soldering SMT for years with basic tools (including DFN, SSOP etc..).

BuriedCode (yes, I made a spelling mistake when i signed up >.<)

edit by nILS: I fixed it for you ;)

Will be shipped once I got the money:

Please note: all PCBs are sold out!

(the 4 last v1.1 PCBs are reserved for ssp, one for runinit)

I've still 89 GM5 chips, + 20 that I already sent to Nils

Since it's unlikely that we get 100 orders for the "mini PCB", the GM5 chips are now all reserved for next GM5x5x5 run and can be purchased via Nils.

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Thurston is the man yeah! :). Man... I need to form a band named Thurston - awesome!

Well - nao, if the order is happening, I know a few people who will get a bit excited, or what u say J? :).

edit. btw, u guys know what thurs is? It's some kind of north germanic mythological giant. Thinking of the meaning of thurston <- that army would be unstoppable :P

I've heard of Preston Sturgess, but Thurston? Well, Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth divorced the infinitely cool Kim Gordon, thus endeth the band. Thurston has to be a portend of the coming stormwacko.gif

Anywho, enough musing! Great news if there's now a chance of a new GM5 bulkflowers.png

/J, waiting with bated breath

Short notice from my side (more details this weekend): I ordered the 250 chips + 100 Mini PCBs at Ploytec, and the order has already been confirmed.

I've only ca. 30 GM5x5x5 PCBs anymore - they are white - is there a volunteer who would take over the bulk order handling for additional PCBs, e.g. with a different colour?

Best Regards, Thorsten.
