Long time follower, first time poster…
First things first, thanks to Jofemodo for this awesome project and forum. Also thanks to Wyleu and Holger as well. I’ve enjoyed reading the forums for a long time.
I finally started my own
I’m not sure if the pic came through. It’s a raspi 3, aliexpress 7" hdmi (1024X600), and a cheap usb audio dongle. The forum has been invaluable for help - after all, it is linux. Also I owe the raspberry pi forums and adafruit a debt of thanks.
Now off to design a case to print…
Aha, the wiki has enlightened me. Since it’s precariously perched on my guest bedroom desk I’m waiting to move it to my garage workbench - more room.
Yep, @Baggypants it’s nekkid as a jaybird…for now
I have one of the cheap 5102 dac boards for it. Gotta work on that too
…and the encoders, ports, etc.
Hi back @deldor, I looked myself. I believe it means share some sounds and/or building experiences. I don’t know what the other one is either.
Anyway, I know other people have used the 5102 dacs so I’m researching it first. I know 7" is a little large on the lcd but I am 67 after all - is there an emoji for “needs thicker glasses” or as @wyleu might say “stares myopically at the wrong item on his desk”. This is a lot of fun and a great community.
7" is a good size. I have built a Zynthian with 1.6" which has some advantages (pack it small) for live performance. I have built a standard Zynthian and also one with 7" and lots of inputs / outputs. The 7" does allow me to use it without wearing my reading glasses and offers better touch interface, e.g. for step sequencer. I like the larger format screen.
Yes it seems that the is a real one to “enquire” about I guess there must be some history here for that, but the “ravens” will not reveal the origin, as for that was produced by @ jofemodo to replace - quite recently actually!
A 7" display is more than enough. Having “touch” is important for adjusting the pots. This is a very well thought out project with some very helpful, if slightly “bonkers” (in the nicest possible way!) help.
