[sdiy] Great weekend in Cambridge

[Tony K]

The Cirklon , nice name btw, looks groovy, nice '909' switches ! 
Where can I order those if you don't mind sharing Colin ? I have the 
909 programmer on the bench on the original NEC which I've 
painstakingly disassembled and it would be nice to finish that part 
of the design with some 909 ish switches, even bought the square 
punch off a guy on ebay thats almost perfect for the original switches....

Which micro or dev board would you suggest if you had to recommend 
one for these types of musical applications , i.e. sequencers, 
arpegiators... I have yet to move from 8051 based stuff mostly 
because my dev board has been a modified Alesis MMT8 nad Eprom 
Emulator for years and haven't found anything as much fun since what 
with the Hitachi  2 x16 LCD, MIDI, 64 K of SRAM, and all those 
buttons and leds....Are you using ST ARm micros in the Circlon ?

Good luck with that one Colin , looks exciting.. and I love that 
someone is designing stuff I've always wanted to but couldn't or 
havent's made time for.

cheers

Tony K
