Taxable Fern Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Just like everyone else I am searching for 2 GM5 chips. Can they just be ordered from somewhere like mouser? or do they need a firmware flash in order to function as they do on the USB GM5 module?

ilmenator Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Without the proprietary Ploytec firmware these chips are obviously dumb. They can only be obtained from Ploytec, and in large quantities. If there is enough demand, TK might consider a new bulk order some time in the future. If I remember correctly, we are talking minimum quantities of 250 pieces here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, we are talking minimum quantities of 250 pieces here. I'm not sure how this is done from the legal point of view but I just wonder if these chips could be offered at SmashTV's? I'm pretty sure he has more resources to get the chips in larg(er) quantities and have them lying around for some time. Definitely more reasonable than trying to get 250 orders in a bulk to get a tube :sad: Just my two cents, maybe this was already discussed before (and was decided to be a no-go)...

SiliconHeaven Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Sellers, please start at the top of the thread. Sorry to thread jack Mr. Widhalm. Do you mind if we all add our GM5 chip wants here? So we can consolidate the info. I am also looking for some and hope that enough of us can make some "noise" about the GM5 chips. I'm pretty sure at least 40 are needed because of the GM5x5x5 PCB spare order that's happening now. In case u missed it, It may be good to list how many we all want as well. So if anyone with BO experience can see what the needs are at this time. If, and only if, there isn't a bulk order or place to get them by the end may. I may put a order in for 250. Leave 150 in Frankfurt to sell in the EU/World. Than take the rest home to sell in the US. If anyone wants to split a batch of 250. It may be possible to order a batch sooner(end of March). I'm in the US hopefully someone from the EU will consider this, as I don't want to mess with international customs, not yet anyways. If you do want to engage it this way, understand I will only send money to Ploytec. Or I'll have a friend drop it off in person to Ploytec. After seeing how hard they are to obtain I want to pick up at least 5-10 chips but only need 2 for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojjelito Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) I have what I need, but if it helps, sign me up for 10 chips. Protip: make a Wiki interest-list where ppl pur down their forum names and quantity. I could pimp this at Mutable Instruments and a couple more DIY forums. Edit: signed up for 10 IC.

If no one wants to start it, I'll do so in the next few minutes. I just have to register on the wiki first. Your help across the web is definitely wanted, needed and appreciated.

SiliconHeaven Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Done. I am no expert to the wiki yet but I tried and succeeded I think. GM5 Interest page is here! http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=siliconheaven. I had no idea where to put it, so I created a personal page and put it there. Mods please move it to the correct place if I offend anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Ok then. If you guys get up to the required min. order from ploytec, I'll happily run the order for you. Unless of course TK wants to do it ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattomatto Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Hey all! I'm waiting for a few GM5 samples in the post. If I get them up and running as expected, I would be up for contributing at least 25. Everyone still up for it?
