Nice of you guys to share, but if I may interject:
Any time you have a “I thought this might be of use to some people here” thought, but you’re not asking or answering a specific question, and the information you’re sharing isn’t particularly time-sensitive, you probably have an excellent wiki candidate on your hands. Consider adding or enhancing a Wiki page, then just post a link to it from the forum.
Sharing info is always great, but the Wiki is a much better way of compiling knowledge into an actual reference.
Agreed. I moved this to the MIDIbox Documentation Project subforum as a failover because I lack the time to wikify it myself right now… But the wiki is where it belongs.
Which reminds me:
We’re still in desperate need of contributors to the new wiki layout!!!
I was intending to put it in the Wiki, just lacked the time. I will copy it across when i get chance and will also add some other basics such as resistor colour coding, etc.
