d2k Posted November 18, 2002 Report Posted November 18, 2002 Hi...Just saw Mega MIDIbox (jaw on floor again) diagram and am wondering if i could put all modules on one pcb - the enclosure unit would be pretty large so i guess the wires from the AINs to some of the pots could be quite a length - is there a limit to the length of wire...Prolly, another basic EE q - but, again, i'm new ;)Peace...Dan Quote
d2k Posted November 18, 2002 Author Report Posted November 18, 2002 ...also...what solder/flux is recommended? can i use flux-cored solder wire instead of doin it sep...? do i have to use a diff solder for SM components...?Thanks...! Quote
d2k Posted November 18, 2002 Author Report Posted November 18, 2002 apologies...last post not really a 'design concept'...more ovva 'novice-newbie' one ;cheers... Quote
d2k Posted November 18, 2002 Author Report Posted November 18, 2002 Jast saw: http://www.midibox.org/midibox64_walkthrough/pot_wiring.jpggot that sorted then i guess, and the i've goolged the solder/flux issue...panic over ;) Quote
TK. Posted November 19, 2002 Report Posted November 19, 2002 Best experiences have been made with seperated AIN modules which are as close to the pots as possible (see also the pictures at the bottom of http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_ain.html). All other modules can be combined to one PCB without any risk of unstable signals. You could also try to create a AIN board which allows you to mount the pots - this saves effort, but requires some experiences in layouting a PCB.Best Regards, Thorsten.P.S.: I hope that somebody else can provide some good links to soldering guides...

d2k Posted November 19, 2002 Author Report Posted November 19, 2002 Some soldering links:http://www.doubleogauge.com/journal/soldering.pdfhttp://www.elexp.com/t_solder.htmhttp://www.seattlerobotics.org/encoder/200006/oven_art.htmhttp://et.nmsu.edu/~etti/fall97/electronics/solder.htmlhttp://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~bunce/solder.htm1 or 2 may of already been mentioned, but i've learnt alot already frm the above links...HTH...Dan Quote
Guest Dave Posted November 19, 2002 Report Posted November 19, 2002 Was thinking about a ain board like the one thorsten mentioned a while ago.... Even got to the point of laying one out....The concept i came up with allowed all boards to be 'daisy chained' with a single idc ribben cable Might finish this off sometime soon, and post a link to the pcb files???!!
