Sasha Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 I love this self-made Buttons, often seen on many boxes here, I think its time to make some myself. Is it very difficult to make them ?It`s not difficult but it`s boring as hell. If you do what you advised to Wise you could maybe find it fun after few of those. :P ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Posted April 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Totaly agree with Sasha, boooooring wrok on the buttons. And when you got cramp after ten of 100 buttons, it's not so funny.. but.. when it's done it's do home made DIY ;D Great feeling, and look nice to. Bye the way, I etched the other transport PCB tonight. Not a 100% result, but with the work of a scalpel it might be good enough to use it.

Wise Posted April 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Ok, got some work done today :) Solderd the second transport PCB and tested borth together, first try success at once ;DHere is a picture how I solved the interconnection between the boards. It's regular headers where i have puched the pins to one end. Then flat cable and female headers between the cards:And here are the two boards with every LED turne on. Itäs a bit of mess to the core, but anyway (acrylic caps missing in hte top PCB) 8) 8) 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasha Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Wise, those buttons truly looks great! Especially because they are red!!! Sorry if you already answered, it but are those LEDs ultra-bright or regular ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jensah Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 [Found you via "elektronikforumet"]Nice work, how well does it light up the translucent plastic cap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Posted April 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Sasha: Yes it's a ultrabright LED http://www.elfa.se/pdf/75/07506108.pdf, but i'm just driving it with 6mA. Enough to get your darkvision out of order 8) jensah: Yes, the caps are illuminated well i think. I have diffused the top of the caps so the light spreads a little better than if it was all clear. Nice to see other swedish midiboxers here, where do you live ? I'm from Hudiksvall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jensah Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 I'm from Umeå. I hope we'll all se some live action from it soon. It seem to have alot of great desigh thought in it anyways :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Posted April 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Ok, got some work done today. Made the two PCBs for the loop function. Some link-cables and a temporary powerblock thing. A total of nearly 400 holes and approx 500 solderpoints, phuee. The obligatory picture:Can't wait to try those out tomorow 8) So, 4 of 12 PCB's finished now.

Wise Posted April 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Just a testrun with the four completed PCB's. And ohh: "Why do you need porno when you got MIDIBOX?" ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild_Weasel Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Thanks!My only concern now is my crappy temporary psu. It's a 13.5V AC @ 1A -> DC = 19V -> 7809 -> 7805. It gets overheated after a short time when the led's are lighted.... Need to find a new transformer with lover voltage asap ! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As wise man say... girls mostly come and go, but midibox stays. :DIt is hard, but necessery to make a good balance between girls and gears. ;)Awaiting for some pics... Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hahahaha right! No no you got it wrong, wise man say: MIDIbox get the girls. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 LOL, yes, MB get the girls ;DNot much, but here are some pics:First, the pcb for effects. will need three of those. Two for deck A,C and B,D and one for master effectSecond, navigation PCB, need two. One for each deck LCDThird, 7 of total 12 pcb's made (one unsolderd).Slooooowly slooowly...

Sasha Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hey Wise, thanks for quick reaction. Boards looks very good. But, what kind of headers are you using? Never seen those. :-[ Also, what is that polarized capacitor meant for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hey Sasha. The headers is standard SIL 2.54mm goldplated headers. But i have pushed the pins through the plastic so they just poke out from one end of the plastic. You can see a closeup in some picture from the previous page. This is so i can solder and connect standard female headers on the pins from the solderside of the pcb. If i dont push the pins they will not be long enough. The cap is there to bulk the incoming 5V, then I have 0.1uF SM caps close to each shiftregister on the pcb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasha Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 All clear. :) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Update:One more FX pcb, the left mixer section and some cables have been built. Obligatory pictures:8 of total 12 PCB's made now. 1,5 PCB to CAD left.4 interconnection cables (drillbits, a really good investment over those HSS drills :o )Left mixer closeupLeft mixer botton close up:And now some porno 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasha Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Hey Wise, good job. I`m glad you chose midibox over the girls.I see you have pretty much wire jumpers. Couldn`t you awoid it? It`s not it`s looks bad, they are pain in the ass to solder. I really like interconnection cables... very nice. I usually use hot melted glue for that which ig good but looks so unprofessional.Your are just great.How things are going with the panel? any changes from the previous design? I usually change so many things if project took longer times. Maybe you could contact MTE (Traktorizer), and integrate some of his features. He is using some cool craphic displays, and I see you have a plenty of room for them. Glad you`re back, mate. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTE Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 HiHe is using some cool craphic displays, and I see you have a plenty of room for them.hehe, Ill say...inverted blinking messages ;D ;D animated things ;D ;D Im on it :)I love your wiring....its very very clean made.....cant await to see some updates of your babyBest Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
