electrodancer Posted June 3, 2014 Report Posted June 3, 2014 Hey people....ive just recently finished my TPD (track position display) And now i want to build the Button Led Matrix. Ive seen there is a gerber file online for the BLM and i want to see if there is other people interested in a pcb (or pcb+partskit) for the BLM (4x16). (i prefer to do small batches (max 10 or 12)...so be quick) ! Quote
Phatline Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 have intrest in 2boards a.4x16 or maybe 3 depends on price Quote
electrodancer Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Posted June 19, 2014 Will be looking at prices as soon as i have the time keep you posted Quote
Zossen Posted June 25, 2014 Report Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) i am in for one pcb Edited June 25, 2014 by Zossen Quote
electrodancer Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Posted June 27, 2014 okay noted...it might take me some time cos im working on some other projects (2X Gssl compressor) and also got my holiday coming up! Quote
electrodancer Posted July 4, 2014 Author Report Posted July 4, 2014 the price for a BLM pcb would be around 60 Euro (shipping not included) but will take some time to look for cheaper manufacuror ! Quote
borfo Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 I'm assuming you're making Ilmenator's 4x16 pcb? I'd be interested in a PCB that fits standard tact switches, but I think those marquardt switches would make it a bit too expensive for me. They're definitely pretty switches though. Quote
Altitude Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) you're going to need to buffer that serial line if you plan on running a cable anything longer than a few inches Edited July 4, 2014 by Altitude Quote
ilmenator Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 you're going to need to buffer that serial line if you plan on running a cable anything longer than a few inches On my build, the cable running from the SEQv4 control surface to the BLM16x4 board is around 25cm long, the one going from the BLM16x4 board further on to the TPD board is around 50cm. No problem here so far. Quote
electrodancer Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Posted October 16, 2014 Update: ive got six people interested in a pcb....but i need at least 10 people otherwise the pcb will be to expensive Quote
electrodancer Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Posted November 9, 2014 so im up to 7 peeps now.... :smile: Quote
Alasdair Moon Posted November 9, 2014 Report Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) I'm in too .. 1 board .. Edited November 9, 2014 by Ungleichklang Quote
electrodancer Posted November 11, 2014 Author Report Posted November 11, 2014 Hey Peeps Price for the BLM pcb = 39,40 Euro this is the list for people who showed interest in this pcb you can add your name if you want one (or more) 2x Phatline 1x Zossen 1x Blatboy 1x Ungleichklang 1x Acul 1x before 1x =FFW=> Quote
electrodancer Posted November 22, 2014 Author Report Posted November 22, 2014 im looking into the switches.....if there is anyone interested in pcb+switch+cap kit let me know...if i can buy switches in bulk maybe it will be a better deal. lookin into price for this kit 1 Quote

Alasdair Moon Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) depends on the price and if I have the money left .. xmas heading ahead here .. kids want funstuff ... mostly not Synths or Sequencers :D Edited November 23, 2014 by Ungleichklang Quote
electrodancer Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Posted November 24, 2014 im thinking it might be better to wait a bit..cos im low on funds too....after the hollidays...would that be better? 1 Quote
Alasdair Moon Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 I was thinking of using those http://www.reichelt.de/Eingabetaster-Digitast-/DT-6-SW/3/index.html?&ACTION=3&LA=2&ARTICLE=7241&GROUPID=3280&artnr=DT+6+SW instead of the Marquardt ... they should fit if I pitch the second pair of solderinglegs ... would make paneldrilling much easier ... 1 Quote
electrodancer Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Posted November 24, 2014 will these fit on the pcb ? Quote
Alasdair Moon Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 well, when I have the PCB I will test it ... spacing between the two poles is 5.08 mm like the marquardt have .. problem is that one has to cut the second pole pair of the ITTshadow ... and that the poles are not centered like the marquardt so the pushbuttons will be slightly de-centered .. Quote
Phatline Posted November 28, 2014 Report Posted November 28, 2014 bevore christmas would be better i think - holiday time is soldering time... first thougt - it would be easier to change the pcb - is there a link to the files? well, when I have the PCB I will test it ... spacing between the two poles is 5.08 mm like the marquardt have .. problem is that one has to cut the second pole pair of the ITTshadow ... and that the poles are not centered like the marquardt so the pushbuttons will be slightly de-centered ..

Well ... easier for electrodancer would be if I simply use a drilled solderingboard for those Switches :D cool would be to have one PCB that has both connection possibilities ... The Gerberfiles are here http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=16x4blm_pcb Quote
Phatline Posted November 28, 2014 Report Posted November 28, 2014 oh ok, i dont mess around with gerber files - to much work... thougt there would be some eagle, kicad, target project. Quote
