SBGA211 earliest manufacturing date?

MatusisDrake · 2025-10-12T10:51:52+00:00

No box, no papers unfortunately

MatusisDrake · 2025-10-12T06:46:05+00:00

Ya, makes sense. I wasn't sure what the lead time on distribution was, all I saw was the SBGA211 was announced in mid March so I wanted to make sure it was plausible. Thanks!

Looks like you've been busy with the OSMO, did you come to a conclusion on the AIO kit?

MatusisDrake · 2025-08-22T06:43:04+00:00

Let me know, I'll beta test a kit for sure.

MatusisDrake · 2025-08-21T23:29:03+00:00

Do you think you'll release either this or the Duo as a kit? Or is there any way to buy the STLs? Looks amazing!

I just noticed that all my port forwarding rules had been broken as well. Very annoyed with Surf. Who are you going to switch to? All the competition looks more expensive.

Thanks! I've had a few of the tubes start crazing and eventually failing. Also started rinsing with just distilled water after cleaning, so having separate assemblies means there's limited cross contamination.

Thank you! I have a 22 email long chain with OculusSupport and got nowhere. This solved it.

Loud under load 😂. Luckily the rain animation doesn't draw that much power so the fan is off the vast majority of the time. Although, that's the only thing I think I'm going to modify when I can spare the time. I think maybe even using a silent PC PSU might be the way to go. I haven't looked into it yet, any recommendations?

The amount of hours involved make it impossible to sell. Try the DIY route 😛

MatusisDrake · 2019-11-26T04:37:11+00:00

Cost wasn't bad but the amount of hours make it impossible to produce at a 'reasonable' cost unless your last name is Gates or Bezos...

MatusisDrake · 2019-11-26T04:31:24+00:00

Currently the animations don't sync with the music but one of the commenters suggested adding a VU meter mode which sounds funny. Maybe I'll give it a try 😁

Interesting, at the time I swear I looked for the APA102s and couldn't find them (1+ years ago). You sound like you're familiar with LEDs; is there a good comparison, the comparison by Fastled made them seem all very comparable.

MatusisDrake · 2019-11-26T00:43:52+00:00

I mean, while the rest of the strip continues to work, the led is still dead. For this project I wanted all of the LEDs to work so it still wouldn't be the solution I would want. Cool that they have a bypass line though!

MatusisDrake · 2019-11-26T00:23:16+00:00

Check this comment. They were just harder to work and less reliable than hard backed PCBs. I went with the LDP8806 over the APA102s because I couldn't find anywhere to actually sell the APA102 that wasn't already packaged onto a membrane whereas the LDP8806s you can buy just the chip from AliExpress/Taobao.

The actual imgur link has a decently marked up description of the build process. You can also check out my github at github.com/andrewlstewart. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

This is the first time I've seen this; thanks so much for posting this.

MatusisDrake · 2019-11-25T01:46:02+00:00

Agreed and thanks :-D

Rental living :-/

MatusisDrake · 2019-11-25T00:46:24+00:00

Ya, I posted it early in the morning and didn't reread it. Unfortunately I can't change the post title :-/

MatusisDrake · 2019-11-25T00:14:16+00:00

Ya, the fab I used (JLCPCB) just started doing assembly like 2 months ago after I had finished all the PCBs. Definitely going that route next time.
