hey.
so i started building a run of arduinoboys.
but the acrylic case design will take a few days to fine tweek.
but im thinking of making a kit available because i ordered quite a few PCB's (costed the same seemed a waste not to get a handful)
and thinking of putting some kits together..
who would be in?
theres some info of the project so far here

I think people would be interested in seeing a cost first, That PCB looks tasty though
And you should be making the PCB designs public.
And you should be making the PCB designs public.
i plan on doing both i think the next few days!.
going to make a document for it which will have the pcb in it.
and then a pricee for just the PCB (maybe even with the atmega chip with the arduinoboy software on it?)... a kit, and a fully assembled one,
Interested in reserving, but I am curious about how long it will be until the next batch comes out.
im super interested. id also like a board. one question though, why use a resonator instead of a crystal and some 20pf caps?
cool.
i chose the resonator purely because i have a load of them sitting around. if this works well i will go for crystal next time, but it seems to be fine,
there isnt any extreme temperature changes so they do the same thing for less components and less price i guess.
so yeah im will get the PCB's out as soon as i get a document done tonight,
prices would be..
Currency is british pound sterling
£5 for PCB.
£12 for PCB and Atmega chip with arduinoboy program on and a 28IC socket.
A PCB kit with half a link cable and Panel mount 5 pin DIN midi sockets etc would be approx £20-25 havent added all that up yet.
heres a prototype to show you the fully assembled one with acrylic enclosure not sure of the price yet might also include the enclosure with the kit or something if people are interested.:-

also due to the rarity of the link cables with the POWER lead i decided to make it powered by a 9V battery, but also can be powered by the gameboy or midi out. but seinse i only have link cables with no power (ive seen someone put a wire on the outside of the wire sleeve, seems a bit tempremental to me).
so yeah! updates later when i finish this damned document to go with it all!
Since I have a LSDJMC2 I don't need an arduinoboy, but since I want to do MIDI while I'm gigging, I do want an arduinoboy since they're more portable/less delicate than my fireStarter LSDJMC2
right so im selling the PCB's and a kit
check out the 2 most recent posts on my wall for info and a .pdf document to read through
finally got another batch of kits up! the last sold quite quickly so ive stocked up more.
That thing looks pretty sexy! How do I get one? And how much?
*edit* nevermind I saw the projected price above. Will any of the kits include the cool casing?

Very nice. I'm surprised more people haven't done this. Checked it on the shop and the documentation link seems to be broken.
