ARP 1601 clone Build Thread

The Meanwell DKE10A-15 is a much cheaper option than the Artesyn part. Currently £15.06 at Mouser.

Can't argue with that. I've opened the sequencer up now and my board is actually the REV 2 from May 2nd 2015.Can I still use that converter?

Yes indeed you can. The dc/dc converter only changed at Rev 6.

DOH!! Don't know how I missed that. Thanks!

There's also an update showing some of the SMD etc on here https://www.dsl-man.de/display/TTSHADDONS/Arp1601

Does anyone have a good source for 17 Switchcraft 46313LDRX? Mouser is out of stock of them for now, and they would've been $2.90 per unit. Other distributors were more expensive, which at 17 adds up.

I believe DSL-Man/LED-Man may have a set of them. He’s in Germany though. I presume you are building a Rev1-4 PCB.

[LED-man]

I left one set switches for the rev.1-4

Thanks kipling + LED-man, LED-man I sent you an email.

I'm finally getting around to building my rev. 3 PCB!

The Simple Divider PCB that came with my Synthcube 1601 kit is white with white lettering. Even with a magnifying glass, my old eyes can barely read the component layout. Are there any photos of that board with lettering that's a different color than the board?

[synthcube]

we have some here with black pcb material and white silkscreen-- happy to send a photo -- or if you prefer we can exchange the pcb!

No need to swap it out, a photo would be fine as long as it's v0.9. Thanks!

Sometimes a cellphone photo taken at an angle to the light can show things and magnify in useful ways. Even better when uploaded to a large viewing screen.

Are you sorted for these switches now? The only place that has them available now at a sensible price seems to be tti, https://www.tti.com/content/ttiinc/en/a ... Z0QAvD_BwE

Agreed. About the only way I can read it is to look at a reflection of a light off of the board. I finally found a photo of a board with black lines that should help me out.

Thanks, that is a great resource.

I think my set is arriving from LED-man today - should be the last thing I need to finish this up!
