The quantizer mechanical design is boneheadedly wrong. I’m figuring out how to fix it but need (as usual) the next but one Tayda shipment.

The v1.0 release is what I had fabbed, warts and all, but is tested. The current version has minor changes which haven’t been tested but ought to be harmless and beneficial. Mainly: Replace output voltage dividers with trimmers; add pulldown resistor on diode->CMOS, shorten PCB. If you do go with v1.0 I recommend replacing the 1.8k resistors in the output dividers with 1.2 to get 5V outputs.

Maybe one if you can’t find other takers… I have enough other stuff in the queue that I probably wouldn’t build a new one any time soon.

okie - i’m doing a batch of my own stuff so i figured I’d run some of yours too 
I’ll run the revision, send ya one, and let you know how the build goes 
Could also be good giveaway and trade fodder lol.

The “off” gate trick is neat I have some things I need to try!

How would I go about getting one of these PCB’s? I think it will come in handy with the drum modules I’m building and the trigger width that they seem to want.

If @d42kn355 doesn’t have any to spare then you can do what they did: get the Gerbers from the repository at https://github.com/holmesrichards/GateGrinder and upload them to JLCPCB or PCBWay or OSH Park or one of those places.

Heyo - I will have some coming soon! Just put in a second order today and 5 MikroKosmos and 5 of the revised Gate Grinder sets coming both in @analogoutput’s original White color scheme - I’ll post up in here when they get in and let people know - 2 are likely up for grabs - 3 are already called for (including myself and Rich and @CTorp if he doesn’t already have one lol)
Would you like me to consider one yours @Riggidyboo ? No charge for the pcb and panel etc. just for shipping

Josh,
I guess 4 of the revised Gate Grinder sets are called for if I read that right. I’ll claim one set right now. I wonder how many Sam-less Kosmo sets I can buy tomorrow because its been on my mind. I could’ve been charged tonight except there’s no bank branches within about 1.75 hours from me and the bank will open after 9 AM tomorrow when I’ll be taking the commuter train there. There’s Kosmo from @analogoutput and @CTorp I’ve been wanting to pick up ever since I got the Switched Mult to whet my interest.

Then I would say 4 are now called for including you @KardashevTypeII - I didnt realize @CTorp already has one
There is still one left - (2 if @Riggidyboo doesnt respond)

github confuses me but I found the BOM, not sure I understand R15, R16 resistor is “RL”

Question about the switches -
The BOM says 2 SPST and 2 SPDT… what kind?
Are the SPST’s just ON/ON SPDT’s from tayda?

And are the SPDT’s On/Off/On?

The Tayda ones will work, I actually used the same kind for all four — the on-on SPDTs. Not on-off-on.

Wow, fast response lol - TY
Was just finishing up a Tayda order with all these BOM’s sitting next to me that i’ve been to distracted to build lol.
Speaking of which -
Could EVERYONE (@Riggidyboo , @KardashevTypeII , and whoever else, I apologize for my memory ) who wanted a Gate Grinder (updated board) and MikroKosmos please PM me with your address and we can deal with the shipping before I get em out to ya - Will be around 8 bucks
