TheAncientOne Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 A local wholesaler is clearing a job lot of brand new Cybikos.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CybikoI have to buy them by the box, so if anyone is interested, say as a wireless synth controller, then they will be about 10 Euro a pair, 18 Euro for 4, carriage at cost. I have only a short time to get them, so if anyone is interested, let me know ASAP. I'm getting one batch tomorrow, and will get some more if people on the group want them. First Batch all goneIf anyone is still interested, the supplier has a few more left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For your two you'll pay €10 together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAncientOne Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I knew I shouldn't have handled those chips from Wilda without gloves. I've got bulk buyer syndrome!Now the proud, (temporary, I hope), owner of a pile of Cybikos.They are Cybiko Classic, mk 2, (they use the <ESC> key for on/off).They are not that light; I can post 2 in 1 bubble envelope. That keeps the cost within the Royal Mail maximum size, and keeps us out of the clutches of Parcelforce or Fedex.Looks like packing & carriage to europe, airmail, will be about 11.50 Euro/pair. Thinking on the bright side, even with the PayPal percentage, they will run to less than 12 Euro each, delivered. Surface mail makes about one euro difference, (cheaper). He did have some Xtreme models, but he wanted 4 times the price for them :(Plese memo me your PayPal details, and delivery addresses. If you are a non-european destination, I can post them first, then Paypal you. For Doug, or anyone else in the 'states, on a batch of four, it might be worth unpacking them and sending them without the main box etc, I'll weigh the one I'm testing and get back on that.

TheAncientOne Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Found a resource with some hardware hacks and remote control ideas - which is partly what I wanted mine for anyway, (wireless domestic remote control unit). This guy is good, and has quite a few resources, including the SDKhttp://www.dbzoo.com/wiki/cybiko/cybiko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilmenator Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 They arrived in Norway yesterday - thanks a lot!After an extended Pinball session, one of them gave up already - after the reset, I got a message that the Flash was going to be restored, but now it just hangs after the OS version screen. I guess I'll have to look at those Wiki pages ;D.Best regards, ilmenator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll have to look at those Wiki pages ;D.If it proves impervious to restarts, send it back and I'll send over one of the spares I've kept, (just the unit).By the way, if anyone else is interested, I have 7 left.

ilmenator Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Hi Prof,I did the complete UK classic factory reset, see here. Now it's working again!I noticed that I can't use the power supplies because the wall plug part cannot really be modified, and of course they are the UK model. If you kept them, the rest is a little over 215g I think (Cybiko and serial cable). If that reduced shipping costs, I'd take another pair. Oh, and are there other colors than neon yellow in your collection? :)Thanks a lot, ilmenator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAncientOne Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I think I have Purple and Clear left, I only had a few blue. Sorry I didn't realise I sent two the same colour.Shall I cut the leads off the power units, so that you have the plug part, or can you just buy a suitable one locally?Let me know and I'll post them off.

Doug Wellington Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Ah, I should have asked what colors you had... What colors did you package up for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAncientOne Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Ah, I should have asked what colors you had... What colors did you package up for me?I think I sent 1 yellow, 1 clear, and 2 purple. Though the last 2 could be the other way around.Thought it might be easier to tell them apart.Only had 4 blue to start with.The guy might have a few more. He had some a few Cybiko Xtremes too, but at 4 times the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Wellington Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 That'll work... Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
