Analogue-sequencer

Folks,

The second run of boards has arrived. I will assemble a set tonight 
to confirm they're correct. Barring disaster, they will be ready to 
start shipping this weekend.
I'll let you know later once they have passed my quality control - 
and I'll be looking for final payment then.

Cheers,
Colin f

Folks,

I've got home and had a chance to inspect the second run boards, and 
without having assembled one, I'm sure they are going to work 
perfectly. The quality is really very, very nice. The first run 
boards were perfectly fine for the price, but these are quite 
remarkable :-)

So, if you have a deposit on a set of boards, the remainder is 
payable as soon as you want your boards to ship.
Less the 20 ukp deposit, the *balance* will be:
65 ukp in the UK
67 ukp in the rest of Europe
69 ukp in the US and probably the rest of the world.

I've been given a slightly disappointing due date for the bulk order 
of Hammond cases of 15th March. This is a couple of weeks longer 
than initially suggested. I suppose they might come sooner than that.
If you have ordered a case as well as a PCB/CPU kit, give me a shout 
if you want to have them shipped separately. That'll give you time 
to get the boards finished before the case arrives.

If you want to order a set of bare PCBs plus pre-programmed CPU and 
haven't yet paid a deposit, you might want to get a move on as there 
are less than half this run remaining.

Cheers,
Colin f

Hi Colin, 

Im just about to wire you the balance...

I just remember some talk about you possibly selling the ribbon cable too?  I know its no big deal, i can get a reel and i know itll come in usefull somewhere, but i just wondered if you had any plan in this direction?

If not, i suppose, if i get a reel ill have a lot spare: other people may want some of that?  Maybee i could do it? But then probably simpler if it goes out with the boards...

No big issues i know, just wondering.

Julian

Thanks for keeping us in the loop Colin!

Cool!! :))

Colin, I also would like to send you the needed flatcable 
along with the boards. Would that be possible? And if so, 
what will the total costs be?

I meant of course that I would like you to send me the 
flatcables. ;)

I'm surprised there are parts readily available here you can't get in
the US.
I checked the Newark site, as they are part of Farnell who I get the RAM
and crystals from.
They list the same range of crystals the 18MHz part is in, but not that
specific value. Odd. 
Anyway, I'm sure there must be somewhere you can get them or I would
have heard from the first run US guys by now.
If you get totally stuck, I suppose I could put some 'hard to get'
component packs together.

Cheers,

hi there...

has anyone in the US adapted colin's BOM to US distributors? it would be
wonderfully helpful if you could post it to the files section. i've got
part of this completed, but am having difficulty finding several parts,
notably the RAM (found it at digikey, but non-stocked) and the crystal
(nowhere in the US is there an 18MHz crystal in a two-lead can).

thanks,
fred.

bleep.
out.

As long as you don't go into pattern edit mode, it should be OK without
pot boards.
You will need the TEMPO pot at least.
But since you can't edit any patterns, it might be somewhat academic. I
guess it means you can test all the switches and LEDs are working.
The pot boards are 'read-only' as far as the CPU is concerned. If they
aren't connected, it will just see noise at the unconnected ADC input
for every pot.
