You could make that first post community editable, relieving you of having to be the one to maintain it. Meanwhile, please remove Quantizer from my list (for now). I have a Reverb page but only to use occasionally to unload extra boards and panels, I’m not interested in maintaining stock. Not a module per se but: dac/ino Mikrokosmos is not camel-case. You could link each module to its particular thread: - [Analog Output Mikrokosmos](https://lookmumnocomputer.discourse.group/t/analog-output-mikrokosmos/720/7) - [AO Gate Grinder](https://lookmumnocomputer.discourse.group/t/ao-gate-grinder/960/11) - [Prototyping DIY Expression Pedal interface for Kosmo](https://lookmumnocomputer.discourse.group/t/prototyping-diy-expression-pedal-interface-for-kosmo/649) - [AO dac/ino‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎](https://lookmumnocomputer.discourse.group/t/ao-dac-ino/1035) Should each module have a 1-line description here? ---

Working on the PSU this weekend, one big caveat on that for anyone intersted would be they have to be confident working on 115/220V AC as it’s got an on board transformer. Going to be doing a PCB and Panel for Jos’s Scope hopefully too over the weekend. Mostly this is all for my own benefit, but if i can cover the cost of DEV and help a few people out with stuff then alls good… ---

hell yeah fire and brimstone bring on the lighting bolts , LOL . yeah this shits dangerous but here’s how … . sorry yeah mains amperage is deadly and not a thing to joke about . never mess with if you have no experience with it , because it may be your last experience . and for those that have experience remember to fuse the line side and cover any exposed circuitry so no one can come in contact with high voltage / amperage . pcb and panel 👍 ---

the recommendation will be a separate sealed enclosure with a AC in and a 12-0–12 output. I can’t stop somone building it with a bare jack lead draped across the LINE input. But the encapsulated transformer takes away a bit of the danger. The design will be nothing dramatic, but will be an ideal cheap PCB build for +12 -12 Builders. ---

I added location to the listing, since it’s relevant in deciding whether to get boards from a creator or to grab the Gerbers and order from a fabricator. ---

The actual transformer is a ASN AS4214\_E-0500-120-D , I think I had to create a footprint in KiCad for the last encapsulated transformer I used. Not got anywhere over this weekend as we have been having a massive clear out and tidy of the garage. ---

[This one](http://www.asntransformer.com/upload/file/20160531_093844.pdf)? That’s only 5 VA so won’t power a lot of modules. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/2X/e/ed0a8f6dc03fda9c9497cde787401a1cba79aec1.jpeg) I’d aim for 25 VA or a bit higher, maybe something like [this one](http://www.asntransformer.com/upload/file/20160531_001705.pdf)? ---

Yeah, it’s trying ot balance cost, size, output. And not actually having any idea what the draw is on each module ( which would be useful ). Found this one at farnel, it’s a little under the ASN spec but still 4 times that of the other one.
