As i am ordering tomorrow at reichelt: Which standoffs (size) do you use for the mounting ? Some news on the backpanel ?
I just noticed that there may not be enough clearance between the SD slot and the expansion port to accomodate a D25 plug and an SD card at the same time, or at least allow one to swap cards while the plug is inserted.
Fortunately there is enough clearance, see also:
Another thing… Analogue sequencers (ie Dotcom Q960 or Moog Q960) are capable of being used as complex waveform generators if you run the sequencer fast enough. Midi is too slow for stunts like this. Is MIOS capable of driving CV outputs that fast?
MIOS (and MIOS32) can do this, but the software architecture of MBSEQ isn’t designed for generating events with a period of less than 1 mS (1 kHz), because it needs this time for doing complex calculations on all 16 tracks.

DA 10MM and DA 20MM
Some news on the backpanel ?
I’m still working on the backpanel.
Today I got an idea for solving the SD Card issue: by flipping the SD Card PCB inside the case there is no collision with the frontpanel LCD connector anymore.
Disadvantage: the SD Card has to be inserted upside down (but thats acceptable for me)

Excellente 
Just ordered at reichelt (for other projects as well). So any more issues to sort out for the backpanel ?
I ordered a new backpanel and asked Schaeffer to compare it with the dimensions of the original panel before producing it.
You don’t really want to use (or even blind-order) my .fpd file before I tested the new panel, because it could cost you some money (ca. 75 EUR) or some fixing effort (three evenings at my side) if anything is still wrong!
Best Regards, Thorsten.
Is there a chance I could have a sneak peek at the back panel fpd?
I’m not planning to build this case you are making, just wanted to know the size/distance of the holes for USB and MIDI ports of the core32 , and the size and position of the Ethernet hole. from the look of your pictures those seem to fit at least..
Also I see you are drilling your own holes in the bottom plate .. are you selftapping the spacers into them? Or are you using a tapping drill bit?
cheers
ah I see, you are using ‘double female’ spacers, was thinking of the ones with a threaded ‘male’ side on the bottom.. are they 20mm?
you got mail…
i’m using 20 and 10mm spacers, no ‘double female’
the screws are at the bottom side, i guess that there are better solutions?
if a spacer was not long enough, i added a screw nut to extend it - this was the cheapest solution for me, no special reichelt order required.
best regards, thorsten.
I actually decided to use some 90 deg brackets on the SD card instead of mounting it the bottom panel. This allows me to also mount the card sideways if I choose to..
Where does one find such cute little brackets?

Those are from mouser (http://www.mouser.com/catalog/catalogUSD/642/1903.pdf), but should be available from any electronics supply

I found them in the latest Jameco catalog.
Finally I got a fitting backpanel from Schaeffer!
No issues anymore - here is the .fpd file:

I guess this means I have to pull my finger out and get a batch of those power switch/socket PCBs made up…
Would it be more sensible to have them shipped with the cases? I like any idea that saves me from more packing and customs forms :frantics:
This still open? -I added my name to the wiki page.
Rock!
just a quick note -
if there are a number of people who want 19" panels changed to 17", and, more importanly, any recesses milled along the edges, i could probably alter them here (im in England, UK)
send to me for testing
beautiful panel + box!
I have to find an opensource CAD tool.
Did you make it and use the file exported directly with a service cut-company?
I’d love to learn to design boxes!
