Cumbria DSP Components

Those who expressed an interest in a component set for Ron (G4GXO) board please get in touch (do not send a comment it will not have your email on it!) the Farnell back order for the 470uF caps has come in and so I have sets ready to post out now.

Cumbria DSP

I will do another order with Farnell as there are enough enquiries.

I might (as asked) also add the other bits and connectors.

You will have to get boards from Ron (G4GXO) I will not stock them, as asked I will not build a DSP board up and I cannot program the chip for you either. I provide no support for the board and if you fry a component you are on your own.

To program the board the simplest option is probably to obtain MPLAB's PICKit3 which Ron referred to in his talk, it and the RJ11 ICSP cable will set you back £45 from MPLABS. Ron includes the HEX code in the Cumbria site downloads along with the source code for those brave enough to try and play. Please do not ask me for them.

If interested in a component set contact me but I will be picking and packing current sets right now.

I have enquiries from US and Australia as well as UK!

Cumbria DSP

All bits for Ron's DSP boards have arrived... sorting now. (I have not ordered the jumpers or some of the discrete C and R I expect builder to either have their own or easy access to them).

If anyone was interested please get in touch. Should have 20 sets (minus mine so 19!) some are spoken for.

Looks like quite a bit of saving on the oneses and twoses prices.

I will contact Ron and see if he has spare boards.

Any considering trying to build one of Ron's DSP projects

His Rishworth presentation is:

I picked up a PCB from Ron at Rishworth and want to do a group buy? He isn't doing kits at moment... you will have to get PCB from him.

There would not be huge savings as there are not that many components
but I have Farnell account so easy to add a few extras so if 10 were
interested would save maybe £4-£6 or so on the cost of the Voltage
regulators, DSP PIC, Audio chip TLV320AIC23BPW and MAX3221CAE.
