Hawkeye Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Hi Phat, moved it to the BLM section, no problem! And you are right, such a big BLM is quite expensive, mostly because there are a lot of parts required. Andy is currently designing a new and improved version for the v4+ (that will also work nicely with the v4 sequencers), but it will still take a bit of time. Have a nice weekend!

gerald.wert Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Yes this cost is spot on. I have been looking at these for a while trying to figure out how to get the cost down and have not come up with something better yet closest thing is getting two of the Adafruit Hella and putting a new board in them but it would not be as good of a design as this. but would put the cost of the pads and case at only $400. Adafruit has boards for the pads using the RGB pixels too that look interesting but I remember reading here that scanning a matrix this size in RGB would be too much bandwidth. The app is really nice too but there is just something about having real buttons. Looking forward to building the new design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, all PCBs are final, filming of the tutorial video is starting and we are waiting for a final case from Adrian for validation! :) If there are no delays, we hope to be able to have it in shop for the christmas season :) Many greets, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
