Horio Posted July 30, 2011 Report Posted July 30, 2011 If you have a couple boards left over, I'd be happy take them off your hands Kerry. Just let me know. Thanks for all the hard work Kerry.
El_Doug Posted July 30, 2011 Report Posted July 30, 2011 ^^You should put a set in the kgsshv! using z-foils!
Kerry Posted July 31, 2011 Report Posted July 31, 2011 I just did a listening test and the first three boards all work great! Volume switching is nice and quiet (electrically not physically). Lots of steps so there are no jumps either.
kevin gilmore Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Posted August 1, 2011 sweet will drop this layout into the kgitsojc board when i finally decide what switching relays to use. Time for some fancy software.
samuel Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 this looks fantastic. I am amazed at how fast you conducted this project.
kevin gilmore Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Posted August 1, 2011 No one beats team stax mafia for speed, quality and accuracy NO ONE
johnwmclean Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 No one beats team stax mafia for speed, quality and accuracy NO ONE I'm not going to argue with you on this point. But we could have a Kerry vs Lil' Knight play off, I don't mind running the book. ... Kerry thanks for all your efforts.
kevin gilmore Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Posted August 2, 2011 They are both part of the stax mafia.
Horio Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 sweet will drop this layout into the kgitsojc board when i finally decide what switching relays to use. Kevin, so will the digital attenuator be built into the kgitsojc board, or will it be separate and wired to the preamp? I originally thought it was going to be the later.
kevin gilmore Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Posted August 7, 2011 originally it was actually part of the board. but that was when it was single sided and much longer. does not make sense to make the whole board 6 layers just for the attenuator, so its likely going to end up as a board of boards.
Kerry Posted August 13, 2011 Report Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) I've got all of the board only orders shipped now I've got a lot of testing to go still, so the assembly orders will take a bit longer. Edited August 13, 2011 by Kerry
Fitz Posted August 15, 2011 Report Posted August 15, 2011 Got my boards today, woohoo! Big thanks to Kevin and Kerry for this.
cetoole Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 Got my boards today, woohoo! Big thanks to Kevin and Kerry for this. What Fitz said, you guy rock!
Horio Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 My boards showed up today over here on the left coast. Thanks again to the KG's for making this possible!
Pars Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 Got mine as well, thanks to both you and KG for these!
Beefy Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 Looking forward to receiving mine. Also, for people like me who are complete noobs with the control interface, does anybody have any information on how this gizmo can be controlled? There was talk of software earlier, but I haven't seen any specific details......
tcpoint Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 Got mine last night. They look great. Thanks for all the hard work.
Kerry Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 I've developed some software to use with the Arduino Uno board. I can post that in the next day or so with some simple instructions. Kevin is working on an all-in-one device (display, process, interface) separately.
Beefy Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 I've developed some software to use with the Arduino Uno board. I can post that in the next day or so with some simple instructions. Awesome. Sounds like program over USB, hook up to the volume board/power/encoder, and away we go!
deepak Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 I take it these will be able to be used with a rotary pot? Thanks for the hard work Kerry and KG.
luvdunhill Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) either a rotary encoder or a traditional pot can be used (or push buttons, or slider, or whatever you'd like), depending on the micro-controller platform and the code employed. Edited August 16, 2011 by luvdunhill
kevin gilmore Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Posted August 16, 2011 by the way, although i have not tested it yet, it should be compatible with the amb/linuxworks LCDuino thing. you can tighten up on the timing because the relays on my board move at least twice as fast. kerry's code is ultra simple and works great, additions would be necessary to go balanced if you actually want the balance control function. My new NMR install starts 8/22/2011, about 3 weeks early, so i'm not going to have much time for a while on the ultra fancy 4Dsystems thing. Bonus points for the first person to do a 3 knob volume control software. (.5db, 5 db, 50db) (or some such whacky stacked dial thing)
