RULES: 1) they MUST have the following: Volume Pot LED Internal Battery port Case that is hopefully no bigger then a minidisc, can be thicker (duh!) tell me anymore rules to add as this is all i can think about Edited April 6, 2004 by seiko_citizen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hacknet 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2004 i probably can design a small PCB when i have the time. how small do you need it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tropicalrips 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2004 (edited) the smallest i got was the size of a single 9v batt, using conventional parts & breadboard i think there is still a few milimeters that i can shave off with this layout Edited April 5, 2004 by tropicalrips Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2004 If I'm not mistaken, someone on headwize did a cmoy in a 9v battery case. Other end hooked up to another 9v battery for power & the other for input/output. No power switch, volume control or LED. I'd be impressed if someone can build as small as a SuperMini (the old 3xAA/9V version). Tropicalrips' comes close only slightly bigger. However need to see it all wired up with vol pot, switches, LED & sockets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tropicalrips 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2004 (edited) the supermini , the first cmoy i sold the final version that i sold off was fitted into the round herbal candy tin , couldn't find Altoids then i will attempt another supermini, this time with a mini Alps pot Edited April 5, 2004 by tropicalrips Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seiko_citizen 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2004 i think we shoud keep the two seperate dont you?? 'cos not everything is the same and that some people may work better with breadboard and vice versa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
