I did my first successful milling on my resurrected scrapyard cnc! It is a panel for the control box (Arduino grbl shield).
It works really well and I spent less than 100€ for everything! Next I will try some wood and then a pcb

I’d be real proud of that, that is very clean work for you first go at aluminium!

Thank you! I was surprised how well it went too! Seems like I guessed good parameters in my first attempt! I used trochoidal milling in bcnc, which I read is rather forgiving regarding the optimal feed and spindle velocity.

full grain brewing nice , I home brew but just with extract . haven’t gone all the way in yet … to many hobbies to little $ and time .

Some boneheaded mistakes on my auxiliary PCB, but nothing preventing me from testing and finding it seems to be working! Long time coming, I started building this close to a year ago. More tests tomorrow and then I’ll get corrected boards made.

I sprayed the panel for the Passive Buffered Converter. I think it came out pretty good. I also screwed some Euro modules temporarily into the rack.

We need to invent a (Kosmo minus Eurorack) format for those holes…

I started with extract brewing, but soon fell down the rabbit hole. It was my thing before I followed a similar trajectory with DIY synths…
In any case, now I do my full grain using brew in a bag.

Here’s a video using the Passive Converting Attenuator Module. Also a question about the 1113 half way through the video.

love the cassette boom box that takes me back a few years [ decades ] .
the system is looking good , won’t be long and you will need another box . it is a sickness isn’t it

Today I went back to an old module again. My first Mixer which was really not efficient, I completely replaced the circuit using Sam’s Simple Mixer.
And now it works great
I still have like that one or two other modules to modify

Spent my morning finding schematics and re-drawing them out to make something. Not sure if it’ll work and will probably be needing some help along the way, but heres the idea
Basically what I think I want is NLCs Triad, but with an option to delay envelopes two and three off of the first one.
So plug in to gate 1, that same gate is used for all three, then delay pots to space out the triggering of the others.
Or if you plug in jacks to those other gates then they work independently, I’m assuming with the delay pot all the way down there wouldn’t be a delay, but maybe need to set up a switch to bypass them if not. Maybe there’s a way to do that from the jack? Not sure.
Then I thought it would be cool to have VCAs built in for them as well. So right now I’m searching for simple VCA schematics to see what I can squeeze in there. Seems like a V2164 would be a good choice, but haven’t got that far yet. I’m going to take a pause from reading about VCAs soon to very quickly try to layout the schematic as is (just the three envelopes and two gate delays) to get an idea of how much space it takes up on a PCB or if I need two already… the schematic takes up lots of space on a page but doesn’t actually have that many components.

Good news, the basic idea works great.
Bad news, the way I was handling the CVs was oh so very wrong. Nothing that can’t be fixed by adding a voltage reference and two quad op amps, adding eight resistors and removing two, changing seven 1N4148s to Schottkys and moving them, and completely rerouting the board. Or, maybe it can’t. I guess we’ll find out.
Oh, and more good news, I didn’t get the pots backwards this time.
Added: Next morning and I’m pretty sure I don’t need the op amps. Huge if true.

This is the real achievement! Can’t stress that enough! XD

After some problem with my schematic for a Baby 8 seq
I use the hole (initialy for the new switch) to put a indicator clock led

hey circuit’s burners,
I hope you all are well around here !
here some news in my modular system:
-This is a case specially dedicated for controlling my Drums modules with some clock/Trigger generators and with variously logical modules:
- My actual system (I need more place ^^):
-A nice Master output module with a line-out level and with an headphone output. I have use an OLED music spectrum analyzer display from aliexpress:
- A fast jam and test session of this night:
- For more videos and noises things you can take a look of my page:

have a nice day !!
