Maybe the bluepill board is defective Cybermaus.
So the Fy6800 has appeared ,it does seem like Feeltech were keeping an eye on our suggestions all along ,new rubberised Keypad,proper safety earth and it seems , user upgradeable firmware.
I dived in on the competition entry as well ,
Definately worth your while getting in too ,Cyber, DC1,Fremen you guys have done a lot of the leg work on this project.
Thanks for that Dave, interesting result ,the 5 degrees I guess doesnt make much odds either way ,but it wont do any harm either .
Valve music and sound electronics is my game so fans are a big no no for me ,I might consider slotting the recesses on the top panel alright ,with care it should be possible to do it neatly enough . Probably worth your while getting in on the competition too Dave ,very little to loose in any case ,I did add a proviso to the end of my competition entry that the info contained herein wasnt to be given out to third parties for marketing purposes ,finally the world is waking up to data protection and privacy online .Thats interesting radio is your game ,I junked an old microwave oven lately and was thinking about the big transformers contained in them ,and if it would be possible to re-use them as heater and HT transformers for a valve powered transmitter ,the HT would come out at around 3kv from a regular microwave transformer and its possible to rewind them for Lt heater usage quite easily ,an old pc case would work fine as an enclosure ,kinda like a diy preppers valve transmitter made from easily available garbage pile stuff ,just on the off chance the entire global communications network and the internet goes tits up ,
