Please note: soldering such filigree wires is time consuming and requires some dexterity.

It will work perfectly with double layer PCBs, but if you really consider to build the BLM on a prototype board like me, it’s probably easier to add sockets at the bottom of the PCB (thats my conclusion after all the work)

Re: All buttons mounted

Bored again i see? :stuck_out_tongue:

I was staring at that pic for a long time,

thinking it was just one perfboard,

and was trying to figure out what these metal hole like things were sticking out of it,

until i realized it was a photo taken much higher than i thought, of multiple perfboards, and lots of buttons!

Re: All buttons mounted

curious of which project this could be part Â

Re: A nice flat case for the BLM (+X)

Haha! Yet another innovative way to use IKEA stuff :thumbsup:

Re: After 2023 solder joints

WOW! :sorcerer:

Re: An idea to join multiple veroboards

very clever, the alignment still works? Or is some filing/shaving involved?

Re: A nice flat case for the BLM (+X)

“Guaranteed worldwide available” yeah right, please show me an ikea store here in mexico city TK :wink:

Re: An idea to join multiple veroboards

No filing required - I only had to reduce the size of the middle boards with a cutter so that the second button row is between two boards (was done in 1 minute).

Thats the reason for the small gap between second and third board row. But this gap doesn’t hurt, the distance between buttons stays identical.

I was thinking of a monome type thingy at first,

But now u haz added sliders so i was lik ,

wtf i dunno.

Re: Why not adding faders at both sides

It’s a big BLM for SEQ… though I have pondered more non-linear uses as well. :frantics:

Eagerly awaits schematic.

Re: Lightfest and “button cap” test for the first quarter

yeah :slight_smile:

I’ll probably (re)build a gear like that one day.

I did the bonome with arduino framework, I’ll definitively use midibox framework for the new one!

Re: “Multi Layer” :wink:

Dear Tk,

I would like to know what is the wire you use to make this one?

thank you
