in total these parts (including quite a few extra parts for the backlog) comes to : ~18 usd -> ~27 nzd + transformer for 34nzd bringing total for project to around $60
next step:
the parts are ordered - i look forward to putting it together once they arrive. note: completing this is (kinda) blocking work on the x0xb0x synth as i will want to use it while making that kit.
i can still work on the encloser before then though
28/3 UPDATE
most of the parts have arrived. just need the encloser printed and to buy the transformer from jaycar. i have soldered together the circuit from the kit. just need to put everything together now (once the case and final parts are ready)
28/05 UPDATE
the enclosure has been designed in fusion360 and the transformer has been purchased. need to get enclosure printed then just a matter of assembly.
