nice little psu, although the layout could be better for in-case mounting. Maybe i will make some similar later with different layout.
with these modules i measured current around 1,7A from the usb, so it can run quite long time with this 20ah bank.
A Thing of Beauty!
Holy s#%!

Will use this one for resistors - 100 draws with 4 partitioned sections per draw

That's very beautiful, but I'm not sure that it's terribly practical. Here is my resistor collection (well, most of it -- there are a couple of smaller boxes): Most of these came from Digikey, and I just leave them in the bags they come in. I mark the value at the top of the bag with a Sharpie pen, and organize the bags in order. This makes it super easy to find the right value, and to put it back where it goes when I'm done with it. Most of these blue bags have either 25 resistors (uncommon values) or 100 resistors (more common values). The resistors I use a lot of -- 499R, 1k, 10k, 30.1k, 100k -- these I buy in lots of 1000, and they come on tape all coiled up, so I leave those in separate bags which I just store in a drawer in my workbench.diablojoy wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2020 3:29 amSick of my cheap plastic parts drawers so made this one from salvaged timber

I used to have resistors, caps, connectors and hardware in a drawer matrix but it took up too much space in the area I have set aside in my apartment. I moved to something similar that you got with marked zip-lock bags in boxes, then stacking the boxes to save space. The parts drawers where more convenient when grabbing for stuff but not worth the space trade off for me.Dr. Sketch-n-Etch wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2020 4:15 pmEarly on, I thought about keeping resistors in some sort of drawer matrix, but I realized that it would just take up a lot of space and not be very convenient.
You might want to put the DCDC on the back, the official Plaits panel has a cutout to accommodate it; your panel probably will not and it wont fit together correctly
Nice, and really nice Kurzweil K2000 for V.A.S.T.

Not yet. My k2000 is a little squirrely with my motm midi to cv controller so I'm looking to use Ableton to control the system in the future
