Yes, and they are so beautifully brushed NOT like the official ones.

#1448

I also ordered one :slight_smile: hope it will come next week

#1449

So you’re saying they aren’t the official ones? Despite the branding on them?
(I’ve never seen one directly from @bpcmusic so can’t compare)

#1450

They are adapted from the bpcmusic repo which has released the hardware under a creative commons license. The official bpcmusic store is here although they are currently out of stock. Pusherman is a market place for mostly cc/open source hardware clones.

Do you know of a reasonably up to date cart link?

#1452

Yes, despite the branding on them they are not official ones but still the same.
I know where you are heading to, but indirectly it will grow the name and promote @bpcmusic future projects.

I have been waiting some time now to have a teletype expander and this is the chance to have some. I guess you didn’t buy just to look at them and will use them as everybody.

Just like the open sourced Teletype that will bring people closer to Monome.

Mouser cart TXo
Mouser cart TXi

Correct

Thank you! Can finally get the TXi’s that I’ve needed for a while. Only needed to swap one component for the same part under a different code.

#1454

That is which one?

Also has anybody tried teensy 4.0 for the TXo and TXi ?

#1455

I know there was an expanded for the TXo, this allowed for some basic wave folding and such, but I do not know what differed between the traditional TXo and this one. Might be worth asking @bpcmusic or another user what the difference was between the two and if we can achieve it with our current boards or if we’ll need to wait for those.

EDIT: just looked at the TXo+ page and it turns out that it is a small expander to add a teensy 3.6 to the board instead of a teensy 3.2

This same thinking is why a teensy 4 wont work; different physical pin outs different internal structure for communicating with the TXo. Maybe in the near future we’ll be able to buy the expanders, as they’re not very complicated (honestly, if the firmware and PCB’s were made public, I’d just get it printed since it’s really quite small and simple).

So yeah, no teensy 4, and the TXo+ currently isn’t on the table either.

#1456

The helper board that comes with the expander is here: https://github.com/bpcmusic/teensy36eurorackhelper

I very well may be mistaken, but I believe adding that to a Teensy 3.6 and using the two for your TXo build, along with latest firmwares for each, should be all you need to build your own TXo+

Heyyyyyy! Good find! Didn’t realize that’s what it meant or that the best format has all the tools built in! Thanks for finding that

#1458

Yes I know that little board to use with a 3.6.

Then one thing I don’t how you could make it a TXo+ because it says on the bcpmusic website that you get more waveforms. So if like you say you upload the latest firmware then the waveforms should be on a teensy 3.2 doable…

Maybe I am missing something

Been digging a bit deeper and seems teensy 4 should accessible via the Teensy loader command line… have to test

#1459

TXo+ firmware is on the releases page here if you expand the “Assets” section of the latest (v0.21 beta) release.

It is not I think if you read this info

https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensy40.html

#1461

Okay, now that I see all of this, you make a very good point! I would like to know if anybody has used the teensy 4, since OshPark suggests it as an add on for quite an affordable price!

#1462

You motivate me :slight_smile:

#1463

Are you going ahead with a teensy 4.0? Or the 3.6?

#1464

LM4040C10IDBZT for it’s equivalent, as it is on back order. Simple swap.

Also, keep in mind that the Teensy 4 will use more power.

#1465

Yes, 4mA :slight_smile:

I’d want to see those numbers again with the TXo actually doing stuff.
