One question, what are J1-3 for?

I'm assuming J4 is the MIDI input and J6-17 are MIDI outputs, but I can't figure out what J1-3 does.

Also, thanks for making the kit through hole.  I still haven't gotten around to learning SMD.


J1-3 are Power, Power Switch, and a Power Expansion ( I try to put parallel power jacks on my boards for daisy chaining power lines in case
i put more than 1 board in a box. it's just a 9-12V tap off the power input jack. but post some filtering and pre-5 volt regulator.

Just wanted to give an update. I got the schematic made, and the parts laid out for the Midi Thru Box Project..

It went from a 1x8 to a 1x12 (with a jumper option to drop it down to 8).

I am not 100% on the price of this kit yet, but i will start spec'n out the pricing.. Consider this... Typicaly a 1x8 Midi Box sells for $100-150... This is a 1x12 Midi box.. So i'd say.. Divide 100-150 by 2 and it will be very close to that.. smile
Which is still pretty darn cheap!

The PCB ended up a little larger (2"x4") than what i would have wanted(which in the end is going to cost me more $), but i wanted to use parts that are easily obtained. or easy for the user to build.
I would have preferred to go surface mount on this but i can't expect everyone to know how to assemble such a board. I also would have used 220 ohm SIP's instead of individual resistors but again.. i wanted this to be something where... if you lost a part or something, you could easily obtain them via Radio Shack or on a common online parts distributor.

My plan is to build the prototype into this case: :-D

Dude... no Minnesota? wtf.

hahaha

This is like, completely not true and stuff. EMDash is just one of many folks who get video of about 90% of NYC shows these days, and posts 'em up on Vimeo soon...he just wasn't at this one...


hehehe. i was just playing around.

but thats not the job of the tank. wink bug your fellow chippers who are local to NYC to start doing some documentation.

It might be in interest to people.. but what's it going to solve?

So we can all gather our pitch forks and torches.. grab the tar and feathers and start hating on Jose?

What good is a "discussion" going to do? solve Nitro's problem that Jose's a self centered prick who in reality only cares for his own well being and will disregard his own personal flaws and quickly point a finger at someone else when it was his lack of security that got the site apparently "Hacked" ?

Seriously what good is discussing Jose's legal action towards Nitro going to solve? Some how Jose will read this and realize.. You know.. maybe i'm over reacting.. maybe i should consider being nice to people who have helped me over the years to build a large well known website/community and learn from this hack, beef up security and move on.

If there's one thing Jose does well.. it's not think think his actions through before acting. And he's doing just that. What cracks me up is no matter what he does. No matter who he screws over. People still keep going to his stupid website, and buy his stupid carts.. Slaving to the man and talking shit about him behind his back. I hold my head up high knowing i stood up to his BS and said.. "hey, i see what you're doing and i dont like it, so fuck you, i'm out" 

All this discussion will only get more people saying.. "i dont like what he's doing, but ... it's a community, i can't walk away from that"
As if your social status is going to change by leaving 8bc.

I bet you wouldn't be telling us to stop talking about it if it was micromusic.net that got hacked... grow up. tongue

As for nitro2k01's statement, it's good, I like it, and I hope you don't get sued. smile


Actually i would. I never liked micromusic.net's site. the lay out annoyed me.

As for Nitro.. Jose has a lot of balls to accuse Nitro of doing something illegal towards him. Kettle me black Jose. that's what i say.

Nothing is going to happen to NItro because Jose has no case. He can hide behind his dad all he wants... But I can think of at least 10 people who could and should sit down with Jose's father and explain to him exactly what Jose has been doing illegally for the last year and a half.

Just sounds to me like Jose needs to get a good spanking like the little boy that he is. Leave Nitro alone and go back to his "business" of Jose's"collective".org and beef up his security like he should have done 2 years ago. Oh wait.. He pissed off his entire staff, and coding staff quit... so now he's stuck doing it himself. Well shame on him.

That being said.. i just don't think this "discussion" is going anywhere because 98% of the people have no clue what's going on. They're simply speculating and gathering in the hall while 2 kids fight and chant "fight, fight fight"

Oh gee, I'm sure happy that there's a discussion about 8bc going on on here, that can only serve the site well.
...guys, can't we just forget that place and move on? Or at least keep both completely seperated?


Dont you get it? Thats the nature of the chip/8-bit scene that revolves around internet forums. it's all high school drama and scene status crap.
the sooner people realize that there is a life outside of the internet web forums they might actually move forward in music, or at least maturity.

Thanks Dweeble. you've just proven to me that no one can really let the ways of 8bc go... Your contribution to the "discussion" is a really big help.

Updated First post w/ link to video of my set. Working on getting the rest of the sets rendered.

No seriously... Why are still talking about this?

If you want to talk 8bc drama.. go to 8bc and talk drama.

I posted this here because I thought some people might appreciate it, and most people, well everyone except you and Akira have been pretty chill about it. I don't think the aim of this site should be to never, ever discuss 8bc, but to avoid becoming 8bc. As long as this thread doesn't derail into flaming, trolling or other immature behavior, I don't see the problem. The drama is still on 8bc, this is just a discussion. But if you're really concerned, talk to Tim, he's the ultimate boss.

That said, I'd rather not her about the "epic lols".

Oh i agree and
i can appreciate the original posting to inform..
but the "discussion" that followed... *barfs*
Guess i'm just tired of hearing about Jose's adventures.
Sorry to hear he's trying to come after you considering all the hard work and countless hours you've done in efforts to help him/8bc.
I guess in a way i can say (with out being disrespectful to you).. now you know how i felt & why i left when i cut ties w/ him and 8bc wink
