ganchan Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,10617.0.htmlhere is the link of the start.we are collecting orders for DigiKey (it.digikey.com for now) to go over a value of 150€ for a free shipping.i will buy some optrex LCD (the old topic was about this) for 100€ + or -.in the link there are some my suggestions for the order, but all good and bad opinion are welcome, i'm totally open to previus experience, so if you are not in the bulk but want to say somthing about, please do it.i've suggested this two postal standards:a) insurance mail: http://www.poste.it/postali/assicurata/prezzi_estero.shtmlb) priority mail: http://www.poste.it/postali/prioritaria/tariffe_estero.shtmli can send small package up to 2000g in a small boxes, square or cilindrical, like posters box.i list here the points required:send me a PM with:a) all the parts and in wich quatity you need, if you wrote the digikey n° or the prduct n° it will be cool.b) if you had just try to place an order on the digikey's site, wrote me how many € are and the WEB ID number & ACCESS ID number of the order.c) tell me your complete address. i'll go to the post office with the list of all addesses, and i will ask for eachone how much are the shipping, relative to the weight and the type of expedition requested. i need a way to calculate the wieght (we can think how).d) it would be good if you tell me how much are the taxes applied in you country for incoming intems from another country, and customs too. Here, in italy, we have 20% (IVA) + customers tax that is variable, they start from 5€. I've never paid for, but just from china (motherboard) 15€ on 100€, and from usa, but the value was 450€.e) explain me wich kind of paymant you can do, paypal, bank transfer, moneygram etc.f) say how soon you would like to arrange this order- the reason for d): if the order will be 250€ in ex. the IVA (if it will be applied, i hope NOT) will be splitted to all peoples, 20% of 250 it's 50. the rightest thing would be split in % of the previusly payed. hard to calculate.- the second reason for d): if in your country taxes are lowest than in italy, we can think about, but all this work will be pass from me to another person. i don't like this kind of passing through of an order because of responsability, but we can debate about not?- addendum: i've ask to digikey from where the items arrived. if they arrived from an EU country or IT 20% IVA is not applied at 99%.the order will be complete when i will calculate the additional costs (probable IVA), and all participants agree with this onesi will suggest just TWO shipping metod like described, Prority and Insurance. It will be change by the weight of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartoshka Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 i think it's a good idea for each one of us to make an order online and send you it's Web ID + Access ID, so you don't have to type them one by one, Ganchan. These orders, according to their disclaimer, remain there for 30 days at least, which is pretty enough time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganchan Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Perfect Kart, this is a good idea, but there is a way to cross all orders to one? in ex. just giveing the same address to each one? i'll ask to digikey.well, i prefer that people send me the doc list too, so i can creat a clean docu. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartoshka Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 ask to digikey.i think each of these orders should be considered as different project of same person they ship to, and therefore mixing parts from different projects in same bag is highly unwelcome and i hope digikey understand this and can shop multiple orders to same person w/o charging shipping multiple times as per order basis ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasha Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 sasha, your black on white lcd?Ganchen, As Prof offered big bulk order from Digikey and as he did me a favor receiving some money over on his paypal account I would rather get it from him. Still waiting for an answer. If Prof not doing that order I`m in if I don`t late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganchan Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 sure, no problem.i will do another digikey order in the future (some month) ordering some other lcd. if you need your parts just now you can join obiviusly, or we can just do another one later.i will do another, if this go right, because i don't want to spent all money that i have for porjects for lcds that i will use after 6 month or later, than i order just things that i need now.p.s. sasha, what about cool panels and buttons for our x0x? i'll pm you for a little thing :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganchan Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Which bits are you getting in for the x0x, please can you put me down for a set. GWell, this was not a x0x set order, but in the maintime it's going to be something similar (wtf, my english sux).it is started for LCD, now there are many x0xes inside, but i haven't a list of parts to request. each member had wrote me what parts he need.at the start i would like just to make a try, and see what goes on. but now i'm in the x0x club :) and i must run inside.at this point i will wrote down the list of parts that i will take on digikey for x0x and few rare parts that i can take in IT.since i need some parts from dalbani and mouser, i will join a bulk from TheProf. I say this to clarify wich parts i'm going order and why.

ganchan Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 well.. well? wtf not well!new available time forP3K1503-ND POT 50K OHM 9MM VERT PLA BUSHING 06/18/2008P3L2503-ND POT 50K OHM 9MM VERT PLA BUSHING 03/27/2008GH3074-ND ENCODER MECHANICAL 16POS HEX 04/03/2008i think that this dates will increase time by time to the infinity. don't know why.for sure i will do another digikey order for some other lcd in the early future, so i will take 1 detented plastic bush and 1 non detented metal bush for test them now, and if they are good we can order this last ones.removing detent probably it's not hard and cut the metal will be another solution.

Sasha Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 That is bad. I also check the Grayhill at Newmark... same story. Seams nobody stocks it at the moment. I would personally rather use panel mount pots than wait till June to get those Panasonics. 50K pots are easy to find. But seams no replacement for the Grayhill. :-\This project already took too long. I have problems with cutting company to cut the test panel. They told me few times they will do it but they were obviously joking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganchan Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 there is no way to reprogram the firmware to use another kind of mechanical rotary 16 pos? i've find a port identical but quadrature or absolute.http://www.electro-nc.com/oak/p0710.pdf i don't know much, but probably we can do nothing if the difference it's in hardware switch.

Sasha Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 ...i've find a port identical but quadrature or absolute.http://www.electro-nc.com/oak/p0710.pdf As I understand absolute variant of those encoders you found (702) - gray code is same as the we need. If still there are some differences in code table it should be really easy to adapt. There are 16 positions/combinations.EDIT:Here is the code diferences comparison. I`m going to search the src code for x0x and check. I hope it is well documented as TK do it so people without programming knowledge as myself can understand it.Here is the page with the source code. I`m looking around to figure out where it could be.http://x0xb0x.cvs.sourceforge.net/x0xb0x/firmware/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj3nk Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Isnt there place for a code converter ic inside the pt10 case ? FOr me it wouldnt be a problem because i want to make a 19" panel for it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
