interesting, I’d thought it was going to use the same 6-pin breakout for the ftdi, this is way easier. Through-board soldering is a piece of cake - for anyone with no previous experience it’s a good starter: an inexpensive iron, some flux-containing solder, a youtube video, a little practice on some wire, and you’d be good to go.
I see two of the three modules shown have the ftdi header soldered on (for debugging?) Getting ready to do this with my new MP, nice to see it what it looks like done. (Might be nice to include a pic of the complete physical debug setup with the docs for development?) would these headers not also be a way for the modules to communicate?
It looks like you could snap a 6-pin header in half to get those 3-pin headers? I thought I read somewhere these were going to come sticking out of the cable plugs for those of us with older trilogy modules to mount.
Is there also only enough cable length such that the TT has to be to the right of the trilogy set? It doesn’t look from the pic that it would reach across the other way. Not that rack position is important to me, it just seems uncharacteristically limiting. I guess there’s nothing stopping me from buying/making/extending a longer ribbon cable.
It looks pretty badass to see them all hooked up together. It’s like a Voltron of Monome modules. Only the legs (i.e. Walk) are missing from these pictures.
