John E. Finster Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) hi, i have a stm32 board from SmashTV and i´d like to build a small midibox with only 30 buttons and 1 encoder, so only 1 DinX4 module has to be connected. now, to save myself a little time and to reduce the soldering and the costs i thought, since i don´t need led/lcd/sd-card/... i could leave out some parts. i.e. all the sockets except for J8/9. What about the other parts? i.e. can i leave out the parts for the lcds (ICs, Transistor; Caps; Trimmpots; Resistors; ....) ? also, i don´t connect any midi sockets, the core is only going to be accessed via usb, so i won´t be needing any external psu. what can i leave out there? and so no... Thanks and Greetings Edited November 30, 2012 by John E. Finster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 http://ucapps.de/mbhp_core_stm32.html has all the info you need. I personally wouldn't leave out the sockets, since well, you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Finster Posted November 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 hi nILS, thanks for the reply. i will go through that page and see what i need. thanks for the tip regarding the sockets, but i´m pretty sure i´m not going to use that core for something else.

nILS Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Quoting the mighty SmashTV, after helping me for an hour straight trying figure out an issue with a freshly assembled core module, where I had left out a few parts that I didn't "need": "See how $0.20 in parts has got you chasing your tail?" Just sayin' :ahappy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Finster Posted December 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 alright, :D , i got the point. maybe i just have all the parts ready for assembling just in case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
