Pedal Geeks United is up and running!

[culturejam]

http://pedalgeeksunited.com/

Go check it out. BYOC user Bassman worked hard getting the site up and running, and put in place one HELL of a legal disclaimer and terms of service.  :lol:

It's essentially a repository for all manner of schematics and layouts (and also wiring diagrams), with a focus on Eagle CAD files. But any file type is fine, so long as it relates to effects, amps, guitars, and the like. Uploaders can specify if they want the files used only for non-commercial purposes, or you can open it up to anything. Your choice.

It's not a forum, but some level of discussion can take place.

I've already uploaded some stuff, and madbean has as well (along with jimmybjj).

So go on over and sign up.

Wasn't able to get in...looks like its down 

[Bassman]

It's not down, you just needed to validate your account via your email.  I went ahead and took care of that for you and you should have no trouble logging in now.

Hmmm, think I must have put in the wrong email address or something as I've got no confirmation e-mail

Juan, look in your «spam» mail, the confirmation may have fallen there....., it's what happened to me

This «collectivo» is really neat and fully backed legally, I feel like there's alot of great things to happen over there!

I went ahead and validated you two.  You are now free to roam about the site

Same with a few others.  I you had registered in the last 6 hours or so your account should be activated now. 

Gmail it appears is going to be a pain in my arse as far as the verification mails go.  Just did a google search of the issue and there doesn't really seem to be much I can do about it on my end other than add a note in the registration form to add admin@pedalgeeksunited.com to the safe sender list.

yahoo mail must be causing a problem as well

mildly off topic but thought I'd ask before I invest too much effort.

Putting together parts orders across multiple projects is a PITA.  I'm always afraid I'll miss something and then .. there's that 6.00 shipping charge again.  So that's the main driver for this.

I've been thinking about building a site that was more focused around BOM's and ordering parts.
Something like mouser "projects" but with no vendor dependency.

You'd be able to create a project.
Add link's to the schematics & layouts and board ordering (not embed them, just link to the websites).
Add or import the parts and quantities, even be able to mark things as "optional" or "Mods".
Keep them private or share.

Then when you wanted to build a project or a couple of different projects the site would pull everything together so you would get a "super" BOM for all selected projects and quantities.

I have more ideas for features floating around for this too.. but, anyone think the basic idea sounds useful?

Yep I assume that's what happened to me too (another gmail user).

Cheers, I'm in.
