A week after realizing how far over my head your class would be, i decided i would be very happy to buy as much of a kit, (just the pcbs even), as you can assemble by the next time you grace our lovely city.<BR/><BR/>i hope to have a ir midi controller based on the adafruit midisense ADio kit to bring in saturday.<BR/><BR/>jimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782074057859078915.post-13511468472531153602008-02-29T17:53:00.000-05:002008-02-29T17:53:00.000-05:00gpm, I used BatchPCB for the adapter board because BatchPCB is very cheap for boards that are physically small even in small runs, and the adapter is tiny (0.65 sq. in). However, for the much larger RGB boards, the cost advantage of BatchPCB disappears entirely, so I used Advanced Circuits since they're much, much, faster. <BR/><BR/>Also, Advanced Circuits does all it's manufacturing in the US (as opposed to China for BatchPCB), so you don't need to worry about the conditions under which they were made, and the environmental impact of shipping around the world, and things like that. <BR/><BR/>I highly recommend Advanced Circuits. Their product is very high quality and their customer service is impecable.JMGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03498078810620015129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782074057859078915.post-270127131956930562008-02-29T17:31:00.000-05:002008-02-29T17:31:00.000-05:00Why did you use two different PCB manufacturers? I'm curious because I am looking to have some boards done in the upcoming future.gpmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02472675009221788247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782074057859078915.post-76170968679687484612008-02-29T11:35:00.000-05:002008-02-29T11:35:00.000-05:00As I said above, expect a full write-up of the new RGB board soon, once I've got it fully assembled and working, hopefully sometime next week.JMGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03498078810620015129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782074057859078915.post-38082639511310156102008-02-29T11:23:00.000-05:002008-02-29T11:23:00.000-05:00can you share the design and layout of the RGB button pad with us? I'm currently looking into building such a toy and would highly appreciate any information! Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
