OK, as we all know, the Megadrum firmware is currently (and will always be) encrypted. Dmitri has kindly offered the chance to all of us DIYers to buy the Atmega IC programmed with his new encrypted bootloader directly by him. Please note that this is a one time requirement and after that we can update it with future firmware versions with our PC. To cut some costs, there must be a minimum of 10 Atmega orders. So here I go first:
- Code: Select all
Timekeeper 1 piece
TOTAL: 1

Well, it seems that no matter what, my DIY drums will forever be in the "DI" stage...there's always something that needs to be changed or tweaked or whatever.
I don't really have a burning desire to open the MD up and remove chips and put in new ones...particularly since I didn't put this one together in the first place so I wouldn't even know what chips to remove!
But it sounds like it may get to the point that I absolutely have to have these new encrypted ones.
So I guess slap me down for being part of this next batch.
Ship to Denver, CO, USA.

This afternoon I found 5 unused Atmega644 20PU -s. I must have bought them around the time I built my first MD ("just to be on the safe side") and then completely forgot about them. It's time to send them to Dmitri to be programmed with the protected bootloader before I lose them again. So I want to be withdrawn from this bulk order, but this may be good news for timekeeper, dschrammie & kimouette, because I'd be happy to throw in the extra 3 pieces I don't need for farnell's bulk price (£4.88@10-99 pcs) so you wouldn't have to wait for the arrival of 7 more orders.
Of course, only if Dmitri agrees with this.

That's very generous of you! Let's see what Dmitri has to say...
So far:
- Code: Select all
timekeeper 1
dschrammie 1
kimouette 1

TOTAL: 3

To be honest I did not get what my agreement is needed for.
