This afternoon I ran by the local FedEx depot at the intersection of Brown Road and Giddings Road in Auburn Hills to pick up a box containing the next P3 I am to build, for another person from the analogue-sequencer Yahoo! Group. It turns out that this facility doesn’t normally receive in-person pickups, as I had to enter through the employee entrance (metal detectors and all), enter the office, and just sit in a waiting area until the person brought out my package.
After a nice bike ride around Dodge Park with Danielle I opened up the package containing the P3 and started sorting through all of the parts, laying them out on the table for easy access. On initial glance everything seems to be there, except for a couple small screws for holding the enclosure together.
This is actually a slightly older enclosure design than I worked with on on my P3, as it doesn’t include niceties like the subpanel to help with the pot assembly, and the clearance around and mounting of the PLED leave a bit to be desired. That said, I imagine assembly will go pretty smoothly.
I’ll get started with the actual assembly tomorrow, although I might take a break for a bike ride if the weather isn’t too threatening.
Oh, and (per usual) there are a few more photos of Ivan’s P3 here in this album in my gallery: Sequentix P3 for Ivan
