no diy skills whatsoever, though.

interested as well :+1:
no diy skills either :-1:

any updates @lijnenspel ? :slight_smile:

following with interest!!

no DIY skills to really speak of. but i could MAYBE get it built myself with a good guide?

#35

hellll{llllllll} yes

#36

very interested in that one !
how far are you from a kind of working proto over wifi osc ?
possible to participate in some ways ?
i am in berlin this week by the way !

#37

Small update! Been getting a lot of help from the awesome @mots and his software is already looking great with LFOā€™s et al! Still working on the pcb and havent order a test batch yet. PCB probably wonā€™t be DIY friendly unless Iā€™m going the presolder of the two smd ICā€™s route the rest is through hole.

Sounds great. Still following with anticipation.

Any updates regarding this project? I am full of ideas to utilise this piece of hardware, especially with PD and TidalCycles. I was also wondering if thereā€™s any chance to stack 2-3 of them?

hi all,

yes some updates ! indeed.
i have been busy on this project and i am happy to share that the proto i built works quite okay at the moment.

the proto on a train

the proto consists of :

the code is there https://github.com/hdavid/ports

in total this sum up to about 60 euro. very decent for 20CVs

what works :

  • osc messaging
  • output in 0 +10volts
  • cv are enough to control modulation, but not precise enough to control pitch (but could work i guess if scaled down to a smaller range like an octave)
  • lfos
  • triggers
  • link clock and reset

what does not work

  • jitter / latency (of the wifi + pi) is too high to allow for precise triggers.
  • link reset is not working as it should

but all in all it is really fun to play with it already !
oh, i almost forgot ! it is piece of cake to put together :slight_smile:

cheers

Great news. I thought you said it was not going to be a piece of cake :slight_smile:

Are you planning to share the schematic aswell?

Hi @cannc ,

for the final PCB, @lijnenspel can say as he is working on that :slight_smile:

As for the wiring of the proto, it is really piece of cake.

the ā€œhardā€ it for the pink-0 part, there i just copied the clock reset part from there https://github.com/shaduzlabs/pink-0/blob/master/hardware/pink-0.pdf it is just 4 resistors, 1 cap and one transistor. (they are hidden under the pi on the picture). that said the proto can work without pink, this is totally optional.

As for 20 cv outs : it is dead easy! ground, 3.3v and SPI (mosi, miso, clock, and device select) between the pi and max11300 board. (it is the coloured wires you see on the pic). Then the board itself does all the job, and i have the outputs of the max11300 board directly wired to the jacks, one by one. At this level this is more electricity than electronics :slight_smile:

Was actually being lazy and waiting for the final pcb this whole time :slight_smile: guess gonna have to dig it myself unless @lijnenspel has any updates?

#44

Not much unfortunately :frowning: Donā€™t have the headspace to work on it properly lately. Iā€™m also at a point where I donā€™t see that much benefit in having a pcb as its a relatively easy build and perfectly usable on a protoboard. I guess for a better form factor say a eurorack module a pcb would be handy, but thats just luxury and going towards productisation which Iā€™m not capable of at the moment.

#45

yeah, I was thinking about offering to help out at all with the PCBā€¦ but that QFN DAC is just going to be a nightmare to solder by handā€¦

#46

I heard that Rebel Tech is coming up with something similar - it could be worth waiting :slight_smile:

#47

@lijnenspel - was searching around for an OSC module and found this thread. I notice some recent commits on your repo, are you happy with the design as it stands?

#48

I havenā€™t been working on this myself, but I know @mots continued and covertly demoed it at Superbooth at the Holonic Systems stand. Iā€™m still dreaming about a usb osc serial/midi > cv module which doesnā€™t run on linux.

Thanks. @mots any update on your work?
