latigid on Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) Once I've verified the PCBs I'll organise the shipping, upload the BOM and build guide and order the cases. At the moment we're still on track for "in time for Oktoberfest." Looks like all of the PCBs are spoken for (will finalise orders next Monday), but I'll bump you to the top if you get a case as well because it makes it cheaper for me. Also, (as I've already said) you'll be hard pressed to get an enclosure for a better price because just the front panel will be dearer than the whole case and you still have to add shipping!Anyway! We move forwards and I'm glad for all of the interest. It's been a long run so far and it'll be great to see more BLMs in the wild.

latigid on Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I'm happy with the PCB, so I will hopefully ship by the end of the week. Now's the time to tell me if your address has changed in the past while.I would just like to check one more component before releasing the BOM, namely series Schottkys across the transistors to help reduce "ghosting" in the matrix. (Hehe!) I will arrange production and shipping of the cases from next week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latigid on Posted September 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Apparently I must have put it into somebody else's... sorry about that. If a few people have to buy an extra 4x4 set, it might be wise to send them to those who need.Unfortunately my RS order didn't come last week so I'm still waiting for my Schottky diodes. I can upload the BOM and build guide if wanted, but I would recommend waiting just a bit longer to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latigid on Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Thanks for letting me know! I have my Schottky diodes, so I hope to install those tonight. The BOM from Mouser should then be complete and you can place your orders. I am also finalising delivery of the cases, no definite ETA on those yet.

TK. Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 And I got the mouser parts today & I'm ready for a nice soldering challenge! :)Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latigid on Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Insider knowledge! Please solder the Schottky diodes on top of the NPN transistors as this completely eliminates the ghosting. A bit unconventional but hey, DIY!I will upload the BOM very soon, I promise.

TK. Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 I moved the postings about my build to the build guide so that we can collect additional information there: http://midibox.org/forums/topic/19736-blm-16x16x-build-guide/Unfortunately the URL changed after the merge (I had to learn how to handle the new forum functions... ;-)Best Regards, Thorsten.
