Mention of this makes me wonder if you’ll be producing a new run of both Teletypes and Earthseas?

Too, will Earthsea’s functionality eventually be incorporated in to Ansible?

michael_matos · 2016-10-11T23:19:19.458Z

Super excited about these. I think the ansible bus runs opposite the other trilogy modules so it’s nigh impossible to hook them together. This should make routing cables so much easier.

tehn:

aside: if you want to make your own 6 pin ribbon cables, sparkfun has crimp headers:

have you seen a male version of this crimp connector? couldn’t find one in my searches. thinking i could make some daisy-chain cables… endlessly expandable

or a 2x3 header with long pins on both sides, acting as a coupler.

Galapagoose · 2016-10-12T01:34:10.001Z

This would probably work just fine as a coupler:

OK, I am definitely a customer for this little item!
Looking forward to it!

mlogger · 2016-10-12T05:23:18.726Z

great, i really need one. Would you also offer the 6pin cable also? I bought a TT second hand (without connector cable) and you would not believe the hassle it took to get one made.

chapelierfou · 2016-10-12T06:12:02.391Z

I’m in for a kit.
The ribbon cables, for some obscure reason, are more frightening to me. I never figure out the orientation when i make them.

GoneCaving · 2016-10-12T07:13:51.938Z

Second this. If offered as a kit I’d be happy to assemble the board, but I’ve as yet to figure out how to assemble cables.

sakul · 2016-10-12T07:20:32.256Z

@chapelierfou found these pre-made ribbon cables (with free shipping also to eu above a certain amount).
I guess not applicable in every setup…

here’s direct from adafruit:

adafruit.com

6-pin Socket/Socket IDC cable

Connect this to that with an IDC cable! This cable has 6 pins (2x3) in 0.1"x0.1" spacing. Often used for programming AVRs. 6" long with two sockets crimped onto either side, ...

PRICE: $2.00 USD

sakul · 2016-10-12T12:55:04.278Z

yes indeed, but oddly enough mouser offers a better service with free shipping after something over 50 bucks

tehn · 2016-10-12T13:47:01.047Z

oh for sure. mouser is spectacular.

laborcamp · 2016-10-13T00:36:55.626Z

Ordered the extra cabls.

Did anyone order the boards?
If so, I would be interested in splitting the cost for getting one (can’t imagine why anyone would need 4?)

Otherwise I will wait untill these assembled ones are available.

sakul · 2016-10-13T13:01:53.729Z

it’s insane… ordered two days ago. half of the items I ordered not in stock. still the other items arrived today, in switzerland. free shipping.

sakul · 2016-10-13T13:07:57.369Z
