Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

Well, since there has been a lull in new modules, I thought I would work on
some "compatible" modules and convert them over as much as possible to the
MOTM format. Obvious things are:

Front Panel
Pots/Knobs
Jacks

Difficult things (for me) are:

Converting a 12v module to use the 15v MOTM PSU
Hooking up power supply connector
Opamps to replace with higher quality opamps
Other parts which should be upgraded
Connecting the PCB to the MOTM front panel

I am currently working on 2 Blacet Dark Star Chaos units. Actually these
boards are easier to stuff--the part numbers are sequential and easier to
read on the PCB. But the instructions aren't nearly as detailed and
organized. Thanks Paul!

I am going to have my PCBs custom silk screened. I found an excellent silk
screener that does a lot of small industrial jobs and is very sensitive
about paint that is already on surface and what is good to silk screen on
top of that. 5 day turnaround. Price drops dramatically for multiple
parts. I am waiting until Paul returns to finish up the graphics; I want to
check fonts, dimensions and other details.

Is anyone else interested in having their front panel silk screened for the
Dark Star Chaos?

I will post more details of my experience as it unfolds...

Cheers!
