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

[BuriedCode]

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..).

edit by nILS: I fixed it for you ;)

Recieved the package today. (Funny that people from UK and US recieved it before. Lame polish post...)

Once again thank you for organizing this bulk order and sending out the chips.

I guess that the blue "Luftpost" priority sticker speeds up the delivery dramatically! :)

Will be shipped once I got the money:

runinit

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.

[toneburst]

If there is any chance of another GM5 mini PCB run, I'd like to register an interest.

Cheers,

Hi,

If you can wait a while, please help getting the list closer to 250 chips here: Bulk order interest list

If you are in a real hurry, try the flea market forum.

Hello everybody!

My nick is added now to order list. Thanks, TK! So, we are waiting now for next...

I am not an active user on forum yet, but few years ago I have built Midibox Plus 8 with case in Roland XP-10, which I still use it.

Best regards,

Peter

[rosch]

cool, 209. we're getting closer :thumbsup:

[Fresh Pants]

Just added my order in.

New to this particular forum, but been around a few other forums for a little while.

[shimoda]

Not sure who to notify, but we have reached the tipping point on this one, pre-orders to 250. Could still use a few to buffer though. Thurston, still around?

edit: DOH!!! Thorsten...

Thurston, still around?

Who? :laugh:

[technobreath]

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 storm

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

/J, waiting with bated breath

[TK.]

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.
