That one has been on hold for a bit. The design is technically done for the circuit, and I have a PCB etched, and 90% of the parts purchased to build 2 of them. But then other projects dropped in and took precedence lol...<div>
<br></div><div>The total cost in parts was somewhere between $25 and $50 and that was for 2 theramins... We haven't come up with a chasis yet, although now that I've finished my first 3D printer, I could print a chasis for it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>It's been a while, Send me another email to remind me this weekend, or later tonight when I'm at home, and I'll dig up some of the files that I have so far, and a bit of the info on it, and send it your way. I've been wanting to wrap that one up, so perhaps at one of the next modlab meetings I'll bring the box of parts in and we could begin assembly.</div>
<div><br></div><div>It's a very simple design, no microcontrollers or anything, all basic discreet through hole components, and a few 74 series ICs. I do remember the plan was to build this one first, and then upgrade to a bit more sophisticated design once we build this and work the bugs out of this version.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Anyway, I'll send more info later tonight, or on the weekend.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div><br></div><div>- Paul</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 11:41 AM, Tom Burns <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tom.i.burns@gmail.com">tom.i.burns@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
This is another request for my granting. Sorry to be so needy, but hopefully we only have to do this every three years ;)<br>
<br>
I am creating a list of projects undertaken or completed at Artengine, and the more I can put in the merrier as it shows the types of activity in the lab. If you have any projects that you have worked on in the lab or through the mailing list it would be great to add them. We are looking for just a little info too. If you can add to the list below with:<br>
1) your name<br>
2) a title or basic description (ie Arduino-based 3D mapper or Custom Built 3D printer)<br>
3) some of the materials or technology you are using (ie Arduino, Processing, stepper motors, etc.) and<br>
4) the years you have been working on it (ie. 2007-2010).<br>
<br>
We will input everything into our excel sheets here. Thanks again for the help!<br>
<br>
