Christmas 2015 PIF Giveaway

AlanP · Posted: Mon Dec 07, 2015 10:48 pm Post subject: Christmas 2015 PIF Giveaway

Got some PCB's to give away in the spirit of Christmas Smile

These are all designed for PCB mounted pots and jacks, in the Eurorack standard.

Yusynth Steiner-Parker VCF
Yusynth Minimoog VCF
Rene Schmitz RS-20 VCF
Ian Fritz' EZ-Chaos
Ian Fritz' Jerkster
Fonik Baby Ten Sequencer

One of each available. Post a picture of your soldering iron and DIY soldering space, along with which board you'd like -- one project per person! Don't be greedy! Cool

All I ask is that you consider doing something similar for someone else when you get the chance -- doesn't need to be Christmas, doesn't need to be on E-M.

Hi AlanP

Wow I would really like one of the Ian Fritz boards - especially the Jerkster.

Am very happy to pay postage to here in UK.

No matter if i have missed them - what a really kind seasonal gesture and an inspiration.

Soldering station picture attached (sorry about drill in the way but I just bolted it down and want to keep it there for some panel holes am doing)

All the best and a very happy christmas

Ben

I don't really need a PCB although I do have a euro case which I was planing to turn into some sort of chaos thing.
So a Jerkster or EZ-Chaos would be nice, but I could easily build those on perf aswel.

But here's a photo anyway. you didn't expect me to clean up did you ?! Laughing

Hey, I have been lurking here and other forums for awhile. Very interested in the yusynth Steiner board if it's still available but I'll have to post pictures of my build area tomorrow (my home setup is minimalistic; I have been preferring to do things at work where I have several high end scopes, PSUs and soldering stations to pick from).

No hard feelings if you'd prefer to give it to someone with more post history here, but I can definitely make good use of it.

Thanks Alan, I also received the VCF PCB. Was surprised to see it's not the same layout as the one on Mr. Usson's site, but it's all the same to me. Nice compact layout; will just need to get the pots and rotary switch ordered up here for it.

I learned New Zealand has fantastic postal service; that was very quick. I guess you'd have to, being an island nation.

Forgot to link these, sorry. Phobos, let me know if you need the BOM for the EZChaos.

Bubzy, still have Minimoog, RS20, and Baby10 left. Check the OP for the requirement! Smile

I did find a schematic + BOM at bridechamber
http://www.bridechamber.com/Double_Well_PCB_files/dwell2_board_doc-1.pdf
However the board looks different (also seems to be just one PCB), so I don't know if the part numbers are the same,
I think they are. Also read the thread about it here on EM and found the Ian Fritz website with the wayback machine.
But any info you have about it is very welcome Very Happy

nice space bubzy, makes me feel at home.
I guess that organiser (bottom left) didn't really help much Laughing

I've got a Eurorack format PCB set for Thomas Henry's Quadrature Function Generator. Thonkiconn 3.5mm jacks, 9mm Alpha pots.

To wrap your hot little hands around this, listen to one of two albums all the way through, and then post a good review (in your OWN writing) of said album. Either Boris' _Absolutego_ (for those with a lot of patience and a love of drone), or Boris' _Feedbacker_ (for the more jazzy, but still drone-y folks.) The review I like BEST gets the PCB set.

This is absolutely subjective. No, no plans on selling spares.
