Today I finished building the new boards and testing the results. The new boards function as they should. What has changed since the last versions.
0.03 Was the first version that was released to the public. Since then a few things have changed.

This week I have been coding a lot on the firmware for LittleBen. This new firmware comes with many new options.

Hagiwo, if you don’t know this guy check out his Youtube and Blog. I had to install a website translator cause my japanees is a bit off, But be sure to check it out.

Continue reading “In store, Hagiwo Quantizer with 303 slider and a Quinie twist.”The new boards arrived today. Therefor all NanoGris boards and panels are for sale. These boards all function but have been updated for minor issues like footprint errors. Hopefully testing the new boards won’t introduce any errors and be in the shop this week or so.
there are times you do things with the best intentions and still make a mistake. The NanoGrids module is originally by Mutable Instruments. The schematics are released under cc-by-sa-3.0 license on github. This makes these files open to the public to use.
Mutable Instruments is very kind to do so and ask for little in return. Naming your clone module is one of those little things.
from GitHub: We do not recommend you to keep the original name of the Mutable Instruments module for your derivative works.
I did not honor that request fully. I did not read it when building NanoGrids. It’s based of there Grids module. So I hope to make my mistake right again. I renamed the module to NanoGris
Today I released new firmware for the LittleBen on Github. If you have any problems running or installing it please let me know. You can find the update at:
https://github.com/Quinienl/LittleBen-Firmware/
The new firmware is mainly the same as before but more indication of LittleBens state.
Adjustments can still be made at any state.
The new panels for Dotty came in the mail today. I just could not wait to fit them on the module. It seems a very good fit just a tent of milometers off. The buttons jacks and led matrix fits a lot better this time. This was a small run of five panels. Beta testers will receive a new one in the mail.
Now it’s back to testing the code and the module. My number 5 and 6 buttons don’t seem to work anymore so lets see what causing that.
it seems I’ve never put a manual up for the LittleBen. Programming the Arduino takes a USB-TTL adapter to upload code on to pro mini. There are many types of USB adapters available. Google is your best friend as there are many examples and YouTube videos out there.

The picture gallery for LittleBen has been added to the site. Also new options for buying kits and build module are available now. New boards and panel are in stock, this time without the serial numbers (see picture)
I did some minor updates on the Nanogrids PCB’s. As more and more people are building NanoGrids more wishes and suggestions came in. This feedback was more then welcome and resulted in some changes. So I pushed these changes to Github today and NanoGrids went from 0.03 to 0.04. This later (0.04) version is untested as I have to order the pcb’s.
This means the remaining NanoGrids PCB’s will be on sale in the shop. These are working board so what had to be changed.
Nothing major but still better.
