Some kind of this...

This mod and the one you did/helped sixty with are really nice looking.

What type of saw did you use to cut the cases? I didn't see that asked in this thread or the other one.

Thanks!

the saw is nothing special:

CeeSA, that light blue case one looks amazing especially with the white LED's if I could use ISO I would attempt to steal that board off you haha

wow, this is even more impressive that you did this with a hand saw!
I was expecting some crazy expensive plastic only table saw blade or something.

well this is good then for the mod I want to attemp

If you hadn't shown the saw, I had imagined you were using this:

Actually it's quite logical.
If one is skilled and can handle hand tools properly it is way better to use those than any machine.
The reason is: You can take it as slow as you like, meditate over every stroke if you want or need to, influence the speed of advance, precision or error rate.
The machine tools on the other hand have a defined speed - and the output quality is generated by the input you apllied beforehand. Once you've started the outcome is set - either good or bad.
In most cases machinery is just suited for steady outcome over several products or a high cut rate.
You'ld have to spend a serious amount of time to set machinery up to give a precise outcome, in most cases need a second specimen to test your setup. And still you wouldn't have the options of freehand work - that would require a silly amount of money spend in machinery.

Yes, manual tools to work with feeling.
Still using stanley knives for a lot of small precision stuff, half the time I do wreck the result though.

Recieved my 1501 today.
Right now I modify the Blacks to Blues from a donor board.
CeeSA, did you manage to change the switches with the LEDs, too?
I assume, if you remove the LEDs for changing, you can open up the switch?

Yes, you have to desolder the LED to be able to open up the switch.

Acanthophis · 02 Jul 2012, 20:52

Never did de-/soldering...
I need to learn it anyway

So, after desoldering, just solder a new LED in or do u I have to mind voltage differences or any other electrical thingy?

Half-Saint · 02 Jul 2012, 22:01

You have to take into account forward voltage of the replacement LED.

Acanthophis · 02 Jul 2012, 22:13

Well, since my gf wants white LEDs and CeeSA already put them in: Source of those LEDs?

Half-Saint · 02 Jul 2012, 22:16

Oh but it is! Made in Germany

last order is this:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/260884264928?ssP ... 172wt_1396

it is a little kind of warm white.

before desolder just have a look, as around the LED was soldered. Just solder the new one, as the old one in.

Acanthophis · 02 Jul 2012, 22:35

I don't need 100 of those

Care to sell me a few?

CeeSA · 03 Jul 2012, 00:06

DH offers a nice PM system ....

Soo, bringing up this topic again.

I now have a Teensy. Does somebody know which colour (of the cable shielding) is GRND, VCC, Data and Clock?
But this quesion is only a detour question. If someone can tell me the GRND, VCC, Data and Clock pins on the PCB, this would be better (or the same).

Half-Saint · 31 Jul 2012, 21:51

Maybe this will help:

In my case, all of the cables I've got match exactly the same color scheme. You can check easy with the voltmeter.

Acanthophis · 31 Jul 2012, 22:54

I don't have a voltmeter.
But I assume this is right then?

Most probably yes..

Thanks for all the info

Cutted PCB works perfectly.
Some details of my case:
1. Case bottom cut to leave the mode switch visible.
2. Adicional PCB support on top of the feet assembly.

3. Epoxied the parts with the case closed.
