Shuriken Posted January 30, 2016 Report Posted January 30, 2016 I am thinking about doing a small run of Midipal PCB (throughhole). Wondering if there is any interest for it. This should be achievable for like 4 euro per board ex. shipping. And yes i know it would make more sense to post this at the MI forum
mongrol Posted January 31, 2016 Report Posted January 31, 2016 Is it worth it? I bought mine from Pete at Midisizer. He always has stock of them. (MidiGAL is his variation with a selection of firmwares.)
Shuriken Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Posted January 31, 2016 I don't think i have to make a calculation to show you the price difference? Besides in the Netherlands you have to pay taxes on stuff that comes from non EU countries with a value of more then 22 Euro. So if you are unlucky you can add another 15 Euro for handling costs and a minor tax fee.
jojjelito Posted January 31, 2016 Report Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Doesn't Samuel at Audiothingies carry this as MIDIbro too? That's also within the EU. However, that said, there's always room for a little customization like nicer switches, such as Digitast, Marquart, or something from Mec.dk. Also, one could trick it out using a fast OLED, integrate a power switch etc... Edited January 31, 2016 by jojjelito
mongrol Posted February 1, 2016 Report Posted February 1, 2016 True, an update on the design would be nice.
Shuriken Posted February 1, 2016 Author Report Posted February 1, 2016 @jojjelito he does. But he only sells it as a kit which does not suit my needs. And it sounds like you are describing MidiGAL
jojjelito Posted February 1, 2016 Report Posted February 1, 2016 Haha Well, I got me a MIDIPal in a metal box quite some time back, but didn't the MIDIBud lead to the MIDIgal? Annie-who, some kinda thing using Marquart or MEC switches, a 2x16 OLED and an all metal encoder (like the good ole CTS with switch as used by x0xb0x originally) plus having a fitted nice power switch would defo make me build a few more as they do come in handy... The other day I briefly talked to a local hero who's designing for Cherry MX switches just because
Shuriken Posted February 2, 2016 Author Report Posted February 2, 2016 Yeah i think it was Midipal > Midibud > midiGAL but i guess the Midibud concept failed. I don't mind doing some redesign work. But we would need some consensus. Introducing a 2x16 OLED will make the PCB much larger. Is this acceptable?
Elektruck Posted February 26, 2016 Report Posted February 26, 2016 I would be interested in some boards at such a price. Cheers, Roel
