Hey Guys Why not a page as BOM with a list of “basic” parts and sources ?

i’m new of this nice place,

from some day i’m turning around ,

…up and down …

(think to have seen +/- 4/500 pages)

looking for right parts for my first “midibox” controller (faders,encoders,motorfaders,buttons+led,etc…)

after seen all pages at ucapps site and much pages of this forum and wikky ,

not found a simple , superfast page as “BOM” list ,

where all basic and tested parts compatibles with midibox ,

(except for: core,ain,din,dout,mf …etc… cards)

and sources are listed by section , obviously with links and info for active “groupbuy”

example :

encoders section:

type of encoder -code if available-supplyer-datasheet/manufacturer , etc…

buttons section

button+led -code if available-supplyer-datasheet/manufacturer , etc…

button-led -code if available-supplyer-datasheet/manufacturer , etc…

 

faders section   

motorfader-code if available-supplyer-datasheet/manufacturer , etc…

fader 60mm-code if available-supplyer-datasheet/manufacturer , etc…

fader 100mm-code if available-supplyer-datasheet/manufacturer , etc…

etc…

please mr “admin” it is possible?

thanks

encoders and general supplier list: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=where_to_order_components

all about motor faders: http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_mf.html

buttons - no need to document/list anything as a button is a button is a button.

maintaining and updating documentation of this kind is a permanent effort, responsibility to write this kind of stuff lies not only in the hands of “mr admin”, if you find out new suppliers, just add them to the wiki yourself.

An official “all you need to know” BOM list for MIDI controllers is not really doable as it’s all about customizing and designing layouts you’ll find suitable for your work flow and depending hugely on the software you wanna control, and most important, a matter of taste.
