TK. Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 D2k made two new and really improved MIDIbox LC :)He wrote:As you've seen b4 the controls pcbs were pro made - everything else (except faders/panel) was ebay'ed. The panel was made from a company called Holt here in England - I've to thank Driftz for the help he gave converting my original Illustrator designs to proper CAD files.... Quote
Rowan Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 Very nice !!!!!!!!!No doubt the blue papers helped with insperation 8) 8)How about some pix of the PCB's. RegardsRowan Quote
pay_c Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 I dont believe it... one LC after the other .... wow!Big thing! And I like all the blue stuff (just the LCDs should be blue, too - then it would look perfect).Cool thing! Quote
d2k Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 Cheers folks...Here's some pix of the spare pcb's I got - the min order q was 3 (used 4pcb.com):Was my first proper eagle outing, and all was autorouted - it's the setting up prior to routing which is key :)D Quote
intosite Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 Hi,Just wondering how you cut out the square holes for your panel and what material you using?Great box btw...Cheers Quote
Trapstate Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 Great box, and my compliments for the PCB artwork!it's the setting up prior to routing which is key What do you mean with this? The placement of the componements?trap. Quote
d2k Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 Just wondering how you cut out the square holes for your panel and what material you using?as stated prior: "the panel was made from a company called Holt"....they done the cutting not me ;p I just sent em a cad design...What do you mean with this?I mean if using the autorouter it works best to first setup all ya design rules, net classses, restricted areas etc...

Screaming_Rabbit Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 Very nice Box! - Compliments!How did you make the printing / labeling?Greets, Roger Quote
gillesdeshays Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 Can you talk more about the autorouting on EAGLE ?May we can create another topic for this ? Quote
d2k Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 How did you make the printing / labeling?I used letraset safmat paper this time, printed from inkjet. Stuck on to panel (self adheisive), sprayed with inkjet fixitive a few times, then same again with a metal laquer (letting each coat dry of course)...gillesdeshays - I tend to route by method now as i've come to realise pcb design is a art in its self and sometimes autoroute dont crack it ;p U can set up alotta options n so on to make the process somewhat more coherent, but wtf, by the time u done that u mighta aswell routed by hand ;p...

Steven_C Posted September 5, 2004 Report Posted September 5, 2004 Dan, that is amazing... Very neat, well thought out.The round buttons at the bottom of each fader... (like the ones we were talking about on that other thread ;)) are they a 'declutch' button for panasonic faders (no touch?)I notice the CRT monitor over in the corner... is that because you don't really need it now, with all those LCD displays? ;Dmuch respect dude! ...Steve Quote
djsegler Posted October 1, 2004 Report Posted October 1, 2004 Would you be willing to provide some info on the buttons, encoders, and shuttle wheel? There are so many options, I'm having a hard time deciding! I like your choices and would like to know part numbers if you have them.Thanks! Quote
djsegler Posted October 1, 2004 Report Posted October 1, 2004 Also - would you be willing to share EAGLE files or gerber data of the board layouts? Thanks again! Quote
nickw Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 do you have a address for holt ?CheersNick Quote
d2k Posted October 10, 2004 Report Posted October 10, 2004 The round buttons at the bottom of each fader... (like the ones we were talking about on that other thread  ) are they a 'declutch' button for panasonic faders (no touch?)They are for the touch sensi ye, just regular takt switches that are small enuff to fit in that space at the bottom of those pana faders...Would you be willing to provide some info on the buttons, encoders, and shuttle wheel? There are so many options, I'm having a hard time deciding! I like your choices and would like to know part numbers if you have them.I ebayed all the control stuff - but the switches (aprt from the square ones) seem to be regular types that u can buy from various electronic stores. the encoders are panasonics types, but I think they share same pinout with most alps ones used too - the scrubb wheel is the same as the vpots (just has a big knob)Also - would you be willing to share EAGLE files or gerber data of the board layouts?well if u really want it but i dont see the point tbh, these are not good pcbs! I made some mistakes and had to cut a cpl of tracks on the vpot control pcb (u can see a lil in the pics)...do you have a address for holt ?http://www.holtbs.co.uk Quote
djoulz Posted October 26, 2004 Report Posted October 26, 2004 Hi All,Why it's not possible to add 5 DIN mod on 1 Core?In fact, I would like to replace 9 faders by 9 rotary encoders.But it seems that it miss 2 DIN entries (not 2 DIN mod!!!)I would that my MidiboxLC look like that (with 96 switches) :Zoom : http://www.cicp2r.org/midiboxjc.jpgThanksP.S. : Sorry for my English! I'm French.P.P.S. :Do you know how to tell  a man witch speek 3 language? => trilingualDo you know how to tell  a man witch speek 2 language? => bilingualDo you know how to tell  a man witch speek 1 language? => a French Quote
