No they don’t make them anymore I don’t think. However I got it new from Amazon so I could get a 4yr warranty.

M2.5 screws for the M2.5 nuts I already have.
M3 nuts for the M3 screws I already have.
(PROFESSIONAL SENSE MAKER. DO NOT ATTEMPT.)
And the newest PCB. This is the full featured version of the Arduino Nano + DAC board, the stripped down battery powered version of which I posted here a while back.

the board looks great! Do you have the schematic, kicad on github or somewhere?

Got some opamps, as I heared, you can not have enough around!

It’s on my github https://github.com/holmesrichards/dac_ino but I haven’t fully tested it yet… might need some changes.

yaahooo I finely got something ! the 4-40 nuts for stand offs with threaded ends not sure why I got so many don’t really need any right now ? . and I got 2 of the AI synthesis pedal to modular modules . now for the doz. other things I have been waiting on for almost 2 months.

Love the AI006! Just built one like last week!
Great little module but the way they have you mount the 2 boards is silly… lol
Other than that, love it!

yeah I will end up using panel mount pots and jacks anyway to convert to kosmo format 3 or 4cm x 20cm . mainly because I already have the pots and don’t want to wait 3 months for the right panel mounts. and I am thinking that I want to go to 1/4 " jacks so I don’t have to use up all my adapter cables.

I was actually thinking about buying a second to convert it as well haha!

It would be super simple and could actually mount the board with the Potentiometers and spaghetti wire the jacks :smiley: :smiley:

that is what I had in mind . I will have to do the same when I get Sam’s mixers because I want to use 3.5 jacks or will the pcb mount 3.5 jacks work on his boards ? I will have to see when I get them .

the footprint is vastly different between say 1/4" box style and 3.5mm Thonkiconns.
would have to spaghetti wire it :slight_smile:

I kinda feel that, if you are going to do the conversion anyway, you may as well stripboard it :slight_smile:. Nothing wrong with a nice PCB set, though, and you can’t go wrong for the price.

dude… for some god awful reason… i built 3 stomp adapters… 1 CGS, and 2 AI006 from our thread to no avail… i felt so dumb because its such a simple circuit…

me and stripboards have not been getting along…
I built 2 123ADC’s and neither work :frowning:

I’ve kinda given up on most stripboard stuff as of recent lol.

Been hooked on SMD and waiting on my Hot Air setup to arrive haha.

yeah I kinda feel the same way about strip board . I usually can’t get them to work , even though it looks right and my soldering isn’t to bad . I would much rather do PCB’s , looks cleaner and seems like there is much less to go wrong .

Fair point. I did order my own strip boards from JLCPCB, so they’re much more like regular PCBs.

BTW, sorry if any of those fails were because of the error @Dud recently pointed out where I had a pin on the chip off by one. You’re clearly not dumb!

Ground loop isolator; some 1" and 2" (roughly 25 mm and 50 mm) aluminum; a few ICs. Includes some PT2399, which a little bird tells me I’ll need fairly soon.

Coupla masks. Because sending people around me to the hospital would be a dick move.

yeah mine arrived a couple of weeks back ;)…

Nothing special today :frowning:

Get this mechanic label maker today - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000879478018.html

Pros - works pretty good, size will fit me
Cons - look at the marks on the wheel. See any weird? There is no 0 1 /

So, take it not like a cons for a 5$ maker, but another DIY project. Take scalpel/blade and start crafting. Charts before “-” become beautiful / and 1. For zero you can always use O.

Dont know why they are not popular in Europe, I always wanted one when I saw the labels in USA movies.

I think you’re supposed to use I for 1 and O for 0.

Can’t remember if Dymo label makers always did that, or if they sacrificed 1 and 0 to make room for the non English glyphs at the end.
