Excellent! Thanks for all the great work, also of course to Juansolo and everyone else who chipped in, what a cool project!
I'm itching to build one!
Cheers!

Great job Corey, looks fab! I'm sure it sound sweet too...!
I'm thinking of building one, which LDR / LED combo did you use to get it going?
Any particular LDR that you got there? Cheers.

That sounds awesome Ian, cheers! Would be good to have the potential for self etching even if boards will be bigger.
Cheers!

However, if you want an etchable version of any of these circuits, and Madbean doesn't already provide them in the documentation, let me or Ian or any of the other layout guys know and we will try and work something up for you.

Yeah, If they aren't included in the docs, I don't mind making some layouts up once te schematics are up. As long as Brian is cool with it, we can throw them in one of the Extra projects threads.

Very cool and pro job! I'm sure your mates will be chuffed!
Also keen to know which substitutions you made?
Cheers

Wicked, professional, great song, great playing and how well put into a cool video!
Allthe best and great success with it, will be well deserved!
Great to watch, what an achievement!

I would consider looking at the charge pump chip.
The 1054 I believe is different as the MAX 1044. For the MAX 1044 pins 1 and 8 need to be connected as per layout. For the 1054 pins 1 and 8 shouldn't be connected to work properly.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.
Maybe you try putting the 1054 in an extra socket on which you've removed pin 1 (in socket) and plug it ('piggyback' it) into the socket on pcb and see what happens.
Or try a different charge pump, I've used successfully a MAX 1044 and a 7660SCPA, no hum or the like.
Hope that helps.

Sounds really cool, I'm interested! Great ideas!
Would the layouts be single sided and would you share them for those who etch themselves? That would be awesome!
Also having a board for the Boob tube as Juansolo chimed in would be super sweet.
Cheers!

+1 definitly!

Wicked....! That's ;\like putting a four master ship into a tiny bottle....
Fantastico!

wicked perfect stuff!!!! Well done!

Sublime.... just getting parts together to build one too, this is inspiring and wicked work, Paul!
I'm sure it sounds killa....

... and science says that bumble bees can't fly by all principles of aerodynamics I was told...

... may I add that those are indeed all connected in parrallel though... sorry to spread confusion....

Very cool and perfect builds, well done! So where is that mil specs wire from?
From Smallbear as well?
Cheers

Super rockin' cool and perfectly executed, sweet!
Very nice graphics yet again, may I ask which program/software you use to create designs?
What's the label you print on?
Cheers
