ultra Posted June 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 hi guys,the pcbs have now been ordered. lead time is 9 days + 3 days shipping. i'm still waiting on a couple of payments. if you ordered pcbs and haven't yet paid, don't worry. they are still ordered and reserved.in the meantime i'll be preparing the envelopes and doing as much as i can to be able to mail them out right away. i'll do what i can to get them out asap but please be patient :).i am curious if anybody else is using this pcb for anything besides a seq or router.

nILS Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I'm really sorry, it's all my fault you guys. Ultra told me that he was holding *all* the PCBs on purpose just so that *I* can't finish my school project which is due Monday. He wants *me* to get a bad grade. I'm sorry. Don't blame ultra for taking so incredibly long. It's all my fault, cause ultra hates me. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAncientOne Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Wimps! I did my school projects on Veroboard!( I Actually did ---- in 1972)The big board on the ancient vero is a Karnaugh map display, which ran on a scope, from a design in 'Wireless World'. The second is a never completed spare board for a switched gain lab amp using an early Plessey Op Amp, the SL701C, published in 'Practical Electronics'. I think I ought to run it up, just to see if it works.My layout and soldering have improved a bit since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I just love the waxy look the old resistors get :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAncientOne Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 The waxiest bits are the three 'dog bone' ceramic capacitors in the phase shift oscillator, (top left of Karnaugh map display), I wonder now how I managed to get it to oscillate at all with the tolerance on those things. If I run it up again, I'll put 3 'period' polystyrenes in. It was an early eaxmple of a vector drawing system. The oscillator provided two 90o phased sine waves direct one to the 'Y' axis, and draw a '1'. Direct one to the 'Y' axis and the other to the 'X' axis and draw a '0'. A 4 x 4 grid was drawn by the 7493 and some gating to the cluster of resistors, (the diagonal ones), bottom right. The sine waves were added to provide the 'O's and '1's. The IC socket, bottom right was for the jig that held the circuit that wou wanted to draw a map for. Limited to 4 inputs. First time I got it running I'd mixed the x and Y data, getting the right map but out of order, took a lot of head scratching for my 18 year old self!@ Stryd, Perhaps, in view of the possible thread deviation, you could move it to 'misc'. If you do, I'll make an attempt to run it up and get a scope picture or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
