[Zossen]

:D

received it yesterday in Germany. Good work.

THX to NILS for Paypallpayment and ultra for the few days of waiting for me.

;D the world is wonderfull  ;D

As my parents took the mailbox keys and gone on a trip I was forced to brake the mailbox after I`ve seen yellow envelope inside. Yes, it worth it. Thank you one more time.  ;)

[xarolium]

I 'm so impatient to recieve mine

am i the last or is there other people who didn't recieve it?

[ultra]

i pretty much sent them all at once.

[xarolium]

I'm still Waiting!!

??? ??? ??? ???

[nILS]

I'm still Waiting!!

Thanks for waiting so patiently for so long, xarolium! This is probably something that can be taken care off more easily with a PM to ultra ;-)

[xarolium]

i don't know what was happend !!l

i think i'll never see my Ultracore

do you think make a other order ?

i'm in for two pcbs

i 'm a little bit sad because i was waiting it for my sequencer  :-[ :-[

[DrBunsen]

Arrived in Australia a few days ago.

xarolium,

i have plans to do another run later in the year when wilba starts his sequencer kit group buy.  as of right now, there hasn't been enough interest in more pcbs for me to do another run, and i'd prefer to wait anyway.

it seems you're the only one who didn't receive their pcbs.  i hate that it happened but this is why i stated that i can't guarantee delivery on the group buy page.  i was very careful to make sure i mailed them all out.

i'm out of ultracore pcbs.  next time i will order some extra in case this happens again, but for now you could contact doug wellington and ask if you can get one from him.  he mentioned to me in the chat he was willing to help out with this.  you can get the second one from me when i do the next group buy and i'll send it at no charge.  does this sound like a good compromise?

ultra

[xarolium]

thank you Ultra to try to find a solution  ;)

i'll contact Doug to know if he could send me his extra PCB

[Doug Wellington]

Some times the post is pretty silly.  TheProf sent me two packages of Cybikos - one arrived three weeks ago, and one arrived two days ago!  And they both had the same date on the postage mark.

At least the post doesn't handle packages as roughly as UPS does...

(EDIT: I'll send a pcb to Vincent when I get his address.)

[Kartoshka]

i'm quite sure this question has been already answered but i couln't find the answer...

>>>>PIC ID HEADER for ultracore?

i saw this table, but not solved, if i need to mark it as 'Redirect MIDI Out stream to MBHP_IIC_MIDI', or leave the header untouched, or other.

edit: Character display, hmmm.... for use along mb6582 and other Roland grooveboxes/synths, x0x, etc

[boops]

hi ultra ,my 3 pcbs are arrived at reboot home ..thanks

[xarolium]

thank you very much Doug

i recieve the PCB yesterday  :D

i hope you have enought of it  and it don't miss you

[ultra]

thanks doug.  i'll send one to each of you with the next group buy.

[Doug Wellington]

Very good...  I'm glad the pcb got to you!

[Kartoshka]

seems like time has come to project terms of firewall talk onto int'l postal services  ;D

[boops]

hi ,ultra,i took my pcbs today ,at reboot's home..very nice work ..best regards

[puddingbrumsel]

hi ultra,

will there be a new bulk-order for the ultracore in near future or is it possible to get all shematics, eagle-files and bom on the wiki to order one for myself

best regards

[ultra]

hi,

i do plan on doing another ultracore group buy and i suppose i should post it pretty soon.  i want to support wilba's group buy and have pcbs available to anybody building his seq.  i was waiting to see how long it takes for core v4 to arrive, because then my pcb wouldn't be necessary.  but it looks like it'll be a while.

so yes i'll post a new thread soon with details on how to order.

hey,

i'm going to hold off on a group buy until we have a better idea of when core4, seq4, and wilba's pcbs will be available.  if core4 and seq4 are available soon, then there's not much need for it.  when it becomes close to the time that wilba can ship his kits, i'll see where we are then.  i don't want to put pcbs out there that will just be replaced right away.

Any ideas if the 32bit core could somehow be made to fit in to a ultracore? (I'm not thinking gaffer tape :D)

[bugfight]

i bought extras, so if someone needs one sooner, i could be persuaded to part with 1 or 2...

(use pm if interested, don't clutter up this thread)

edit*  spoken for, none more available

Just like computers: if you have a need or a use for one, buy it.  Don't wait for next year's model, and don't be disappointed when something comes out a few months later that is better than what you bought.  That is inevitable.

If you use DIP sockets in an Ultracore, the expensive components (EEPROMs, PICs) become reusable. So, even if your Ultracore is somehow obsolete in a year (not gonna happen), you're only out the cost of the PCB and a few passive components.  Somehow I can't see it becoming obsolete in a community that makes music with SID, POKEY, AY8912 and OPL3!  Besides, it is still a functioning Core module with banksticks right on the board and improved LCD pinning.

Ultracore would still be a bargain even if TK released an ARM version of SEQ tomorrow.

core4

FWIW, it's core32 v1. MIOS on PICs and the related hardware will not be replaced by the new core, they will coexist. Core 4 would be the next revision of the PIC core we have now :)
