Whoooo, I don't even have one of those.. That VBLANK board is from my first 6!
I'd be surprised if it's a PAL unless you got it from one of the guys in The UK or Scotland.
Errr... Looking for any trades?

Re: Sold (2 replies, posted in Trading Post)
These are amazing little kits for the price! Are you looking for anything in trade?
Also, if your shipping internationally, I don't believe there is a PAL version of this and it won't work right for most Euro countries.
NTSC only.

Very cool Brendan! You may want to look into "photocouplers". They theoretically light a tiny LED in an IC which triggers a tiny phototransistor. They're very simple (wire it just like your relay), super cheap, and have little visible resistance on the work side, and come in a WIDE range of output voltages.
I used these in a design to trigger a wall of 100+ DC light bulbs from a microcontroller at the Rangers ballpark in TX:

(They'll work at 5v too! ) -- but you will lose the awesome tap-dance clicking!

Added a very weird pixel camera-watch out of my closet for $20! Can you tell I'm trying to scrape enough together for GCW? Dropped the price on the Gameboy Micro.

Whoah!! I just found a working YM2149F in my parts closet! I've got to clean more often!
--Added my last YM_MINI with an IC to the list above!
(alright, I'm keeping the original prototype for myself! so it's not the last-last...)

Libretto went to eBay (see listing for link). I'll still take trades until someone bids on it. & yep.. The "Buy-It-Now" price is more than I offered it to the community here.

DX.Com carries that RS-1 reviewed in that vid. It'd be worth emailing them to see if they'll carry the Bitman. If you tell sort out which manufacturer, they've been known to carry small runs on request.

Understood.. I'm not sure I need a pair of FB-01s, but I wouldn't give up my only one either ; )

He-he! We ALL need 4 FM platforms to mess with!
I got the one I have now for $26, but I'd take $65 + the FB-01 for the Libretto package,( I assume it's clean and working).
Shipping will probably be the same in both directions.

@Beware: yep, it's the full port emulator dock.

Yeah, some of these are eye-candy! Milky should run on any of these, and the Libretto already has adlib 2 talking to the OPL chip. The cop laptop was my main Dos visuals machine for a couple years.
@TSC cool! Messgae me if you find it. SSB on it, I hope!

Hey all, doing another closet cleaning, I put prices on this stuff but I'm up for trades.
I'm looking for a pair of Yamaha TX81z rack synths or a single Yamaha FB-01 module, or oddly a
CB radio with SSB, which isn't very chiptune of me! ; P
If you've got a bigger trade, or want to save on shipping, I can bundle with a oneString or
one of the synth kits or visualizers from my shop.

--message for trades or more info.
While I was cleaning the closet I found a YM chip! That means I have ONE fully built YM_MINI USB synth left in stock with the chip, and one unbuilt kit without!
Full built YM_MINI with YM2149F and USB/FTDI cable: $90 +S&H or trade.
YM_MINI unbuilt kit (no usb or YM chip): $48

This awesome little watch shoots images at 120 x 120 pixels (16 bit greyscale)!

$20! honest! 
PSP Go (Piano Black) with custom firmware already to go.

Yeah, as long as the pedal is plugged in when it calibrates, that'd work great.
Hmmm.... I can tell I'll be patching it through my Morley Wah by the end of the night.. Manual control of the peak!

Re: A new Pocket VBLANK auto-visualizer released! (17 replies, posted in General Discussion)
That case is AWESOME!! It looks like there's still a roll of paper in there! Glad you're up and running!
Yep, I'd also recommend a mixer. I tested heavily with a splitter on a pro-mod and my micro, and both ran at full volume, but soft songs will drop beats and such (That green LED tells you when the volume is too low). Honestly, running through a mixer gives you direct volume control, which allows you to tweak the visuals a bit on the fly.
I got a couple emails and I did get the parts in for the last set of these, so there are some available again.
