Here the full set of used PCBs.
- PCB for the encoders and OLED displays, two layers of copper
- LEDs and push buttons
- redesigned MIDI I/O plus audio preamplifier
- Arduino DUE (80Mhz version of the Arduino Mega.
- TFT display with SD card
All these components will be manually wire-wrapped with around 80 cables
I received a batch of warm white LEDs, the next devices will have white lights instead of red.

Now finished the VL1 controller for Greg. The new LEDs are quite nice, remind me to small light bulbs.
I am shocked about shipping costs to U.S. currently exploded to 106€ due to the new Executive Order.

Starting devices #4 and #5 for Scott and Deaton
Firmware reworked: automatically sending MIDI panic, when notes on detected while switching modules. File > selectDir starting at 101 if in single program mode, else at 100.
