Hi!
Someone emailed me about this website, and it looks great! Always happy to see people building equipment they can use! I have been in to digital audio for some time now, and am mainly working with FPGA's to implement interfaces to various digital protocols like MADI, ADAT, SPDIF and others. I have a few of my designs at www.opencores.org, and have some tech stuff up on www.ackspace.nl, the hackerspace of my choice.
Some time ago I made a MADI FPGA core with help of an ethernet transceiver, and since last year it is commercially available in the Antelope Audio Orion 32. I am currently looking for other means of building some cool stuff with a bunch of guys (or girls?). The kits I want to make are not the easiest by far, but it is well worth building. For a start, I want to make a small converter for a bidirectional ADAT to SPDIF.
To see what I mean, this is some of my work in progress:
A closeup of the PCB design, it is double sided and intended for a 100x80mm enclosure.
This is the backside of the PCB design, and you can see that the front and back of the enclosure will be produced by the PCB manufacturer. This way I can put LEDs in the front in convient places. Also, with a smooth look, it will show as a professional device, and you can say you made it yourself! The final PCB will be in black for this reason.
I intend to release this project in 3 possible ways: a bare PCB, the PCB with all finepitch components and programmed flash memory, and as a complete device. I really want to sell just bare PCB's, so prepared to pay A LOT MORE for partially or fully assembled ones. I want to encourage the DIY spirit, so to say.
Leave a message if you want to show your interest!
