Re: YOCTO ENCLOSURES - 4th batch

I'm happy to say that my case from Kacper arrived yesterday the 15th and it is beautiful. I only had to drill out the holes in the rear of the case, and lightly file two of the sequencer button openings. This is expected after something gets powder coated or even painted the old fashioned way. I tip...

Re: YOCTO ENCLOSURES - 4th batch

I know nobody probably gives a crap about this, (except for other people waiting for their cases) but today the 13th of Feb. I received notice from the postal service that my Yocto case has made it to the U.S, just in time for the projected time frame of 5 to 7 weeks, with 7 weeks being this Wednesd...

Re: YOCTO ENCLOSURES - 4th batch

Now that's it's 2/11/2017 and my Yocto case still hasn't made it to the U.S., I'm just checking in again to see if anybody else from America has received there's? The post office site does say 5 to 7 weeks is expected and we're getting very close to that magic number 7, now. I'm just picturing my ca...

Re: Mouser = Intergalactic delivery speed

I'm glad to hear somebody is having a good time regarding shipping speeds. I've been waiting for a metal case that left Poland on 1/28/2016 and according to the tracking number it still hasn't hit the U.S shores. I think they are using a row boat to cross the Atlantic. It's got to get here soon, I'm...

Re: Ground and 5 volt connected on main board

I took your advice and checked all the switches with no luck, but I like the ideas about cutting traces and I believe that will be my next step, thank you for that. You can't imagine how frustrating it is to see all the grounds and 5 volts connected, it makes me feel like I'm going crazy. I built a ...

Re: Ground and 5 volt connected on main board

Yes, everything that can be soldered is neatly soldered, but I will give the switch idea a try. I've easily spent over 50 hours going over the board with a fine tooth comb and I would be surprised if this problem is from human error. Any joint that even looked slightly iffy, I reflowed it. I'm not o...

Re: Ground and 5 volt connected on main board

I wish that was my problem. I used IC sockets on all IC's and the IC's aren't even on my board. They're tucked away safely until I either repair this Nava board or sell it to some adventurous person.

Re: YOCTO ENCLOSURES - 4th batch

Has anybody from The U.S received their case yet? I did get my tracking number from Kacper and it said it left Poland on 12/28/2016. I can't finish up the Yocto without the case because I want to install the LED's into the case before I solder them in, assuring proper alignment as someone had mentio...

Re: Final decision on grounding the slide switches?

I guess I must be stupid. I was only trying to make sure before I finished it up. I saw some said to do it, others didn't, so I wanted a final verdict, that's all. I'm sorry my post annoyed you.
