MIDIbox SID-NUXX Display

Well, it turns out that there is a slight error in the layout of the display for the MIDIbox SID-NUXX. Everything on it is sized *perfectly* for the LCD display. As it turns out, the ‘active area’ of the OLED is a bit smaller than that of the LCD, and thusly the buttons on the front panel are slightly misaligned (by a max of 1.2mm I believe) when using an OLED instead of an LCD.

Oops.

In reality, it likely won’t be noticable, especially with the display being set back a few mm from the inside of the metal panel anway. So, it’s nothing to worry about…

Oh, the PCBs I received yesterday? Look / work great, and I’ve had no problems whatsoever with cutting the center out of the first one. I used the combination of Dremel / used dental bit mill and a hand file with a vise. Worked great. Only problem was the epoxy / fiberglass dust, so I may do the remaining ones in the garage.

But that won’t be until next week. For now I’m out here on vacation. Woo!
