Eurorack Frontpanel for LRE8x2 + PCBs to Hold Screens - incl Production Files

[Phatline]

i startet a WIKI for  a Eurorack Frontpanel for Fairlightii´s LRE8x2, incl 4 PCBs to hold and wire 8x OLED-Screens on Top....

Incl production files for the PCBs.... currently untestet...

for those how have such bords laying around like me...

Oh that's a good idea. And by coincidence I'm just stuffing one of those boards! Thanks for sharing your work. DM me if you want to share a PCB order :)

@monokinetic I have ordered 5 Boards. 4 I need. 1 then left (1 board is for one LRE8x2) --- if you need more - or you are not in the EU, you know where to find the gerbers ;) and where to get the real cheap, but i suggest to wait untill i testet them.

 

still waiting for the PCBs (10-12 to ship...) - so 2 weeks or so there will be an update - if everything is right...

but i got the Acrylic Frontplate, and it fits for the LRE8x2... but the mounting holes for it are not necessery - because the Encoders hold the PCB

so the End version of the plate will not have this Holes.

the Alps (SIDstyle) Buttons hold nice, and the travel for the inbuilt encoder-buttons are working - so there is no need to remove the Encoders "Noses"

I have made a huge eurorack, so no space problems there... and of course the Panel fits (i let some Air for production)

@Phatline cool OK, sure no worries to do my own order. But yes, good idea to wait until design is confirmed!

[Phatline]

yes they worked...

 

 

and it looks very nice...

 

 

i highly recommend latigid onś Display driver: http://wiki.midibox.org/doku.php?id=display_driver

i tryed the multiplexing via J10B with a DoutX4 but i had walking lines here and there, so i took the display driver and it just works!

This is the pinout from the display driver J1-J8 to connect 4 screens aka 2 PCBs to it.

 

 

i made a video (build) - but i want to write some code first, so i have unit which i can work with it (to have a video jam for it...)

 

so you can order at least the PCBs - this take some time... in the meantime i change the frontpanel: i would remove the mounting holes for the LRE8x2 first...

wow that setup with multiples looks truly phat :D 

congrats on a great build, and respect for documenting it so well for the community
