How about asking Xavier, the PreenFM´s creator for a source?
He might even have some ideas for the screen mounting.
He could be reached at his website or over at MI forums
I liked the way that the PreenFM2 mounts the lcd, it does so with some turned socket pins much like the IC sockets, and has a male one soldered to the screen.
This way, you just insert the screen to the female socket on the pcb, with the added benef…
Would these cables be the only thing or we need the bootloader update too?
I guess we´ll find out once the trigger kit is out, I am just being anxious... : )
@lado: you have seriously veered off-piste my friend.
I don´t think it is very friendly to post like that.
If you take your time to read posts in this and related forums you will see that there is a very friendly, laid back attitude where Irony and…
I just pushed them in as best as I could and tried to solder them straight.
I managed to get them straight and they look perfect, but I agree it is a thight fit.
They look perfect through the official grey case, not too close to the actual button ca…
The new pcb looks so cool!

No more green on black knobs?
I agree with Borfo, here in Argentina, Courier companies behave the same way, and it is usually massively cheaper to get things through the regular mail, no matter what method.
The safest (includes full insurance for declared value, and has full tra…
@toneburst: Haha, I know the feeling, I always seem to forget some little detail (mostly cosmetic) and only realize when every little screw has been tightened and the case finished. For example, I forgot to solder the cap for the hot-plug error on t…
I see some nice packaging and high quality sockets there!
Even though I already have my Batch 1 LXR, I love all the polish you are incorporating to the newer kit!
Almost tempted to sell my B1 LXR and get a new one...not for the moment!
Keep up the p…
@toneburst: No way the caps would stay in place without some "help". Of all the possible solutions, I had some Masking Tape laying around while I was anxiously looking to get my new baby in it´s case. Masking Tape as in the whitish paper tape.
Used …
Frosted white-clear plexi like the 4-Pole Mission Shruthi-1 form Mutable Instruments?
That would also be interesting...only issue would be the screen has to be a window and Leds need fresnels
Thank you Julian for such a generous offer for Batch 1 pioneers!
How many cables need to be soldered? Would there be a way to get this header fixed on the board and solder these cables as jumpers between the points on the board and the fixed header?…
