we'll consider producing another run of kits if there is sufficient
demand. if you're interested post a response below (let us know if you'd
like more than one.)

this is not a formal order.

Definatly.

that's a great news
i'd like another one too...

I would love to add a few kits to my live rig.

I'd order a 40h kit if they were made available as well. I'm keeping my 
fingers crossed!

i would love to seen it happen

I will definately buy two full kits

I'd order another one :)

and I one more too!!!
[[[[+]]]]

and I one more too!!!
[[[[+]]]]
now log in...

and one for me!

Steve

I'd love a kit!

I'd probably buy another if you made more

i want a kit!

very interested in the kit.

i'd get another : )

Hi I'm Mario and i need more information of the solding of one kit
of 40h! please Give me any help and thanks..

i'm interested.

i'm very interested!

Hi, Im very interested in getting a logic kit as i have already ordered 
my buttons and LEDS.
PLEASE OH PLEASE make the logic kit available soon!

I would get another kit (same size pads) if you make more. I should have 
got 2 but I didn't want to be greedy:) let us all know
peace
Cole

I'm very interested by a keypad kit

i would be interested.

will there be kits available for the larger models too?

yes im very intrested !

i would like a few to add to my rig

I'm interested.

Hi i'm interested by this kit but i'm in france and i
want to know if that's possible to buy one and how ... thanks!

Hello,very interested as well,same request as exactly above :-)
Best regards

Definitely interested in a kit as well!  Would go nicely in a custom 
modular synth setup.

Very Interested.

Totally would buy a kit in a heartbeat!

Definitely, I'd LOVE one of those :-D

Please let me know when the blinking lights are back in stock!!!!!

thx

Ey... lovely... hope it soon will be produced... what about a two fifty 
six kit?

regards
Julian

I visit every day to see if the kit is available.  Please please please,
make more!

it seems there's sufficient demand for the kit, so we're planning on 
running another 100.

unfortunately it's going to take a bit of time to get the keypads back 
in stock, since they'll need to be manufactured and they're competing 
for machine time with the new series keypads.

we have no plans to do kits based on the new series. part of this is 
because the whole thing requires surface mount parts, and we're having 
those circuits machine-assembled.

on the other hand, i've been thinking about designing another logic kit 
that could interface two keypads kits, so you'll get a 8x16. 
unfortunately it's a bit complicated, but i'm sure i'll find time soon. 
80h?

how many people would be interested in an 8x16 logic board? keep in 
mind, more parts, external power, more expensive.

hey-

i'd get a kit.

i'm a programmer, have built a theremin. this seems like the next step.

i think the simpler one is better. let the software handle the 
complexity.

i'm now interested in a logic kit again =P

ah sweet logistics!

I actually came to this website to purchase a kit. Very sad to find they
are sold out. When you stock them again I will buy one. or two at a bulk
rate :|

I will buy one when you are in supply again.

Ohhhh! Hmmm, the 8x16 sounds very tempting.

I will definitely buy a kit when/if they are available again... thanks!

I want one. BAD.

def. sign me up.

with new key pads or old?
For the 8x16.

old.

Would love a kit and would buy one when it's available, particularly if 
it was an 80h!

I would buy a kit if there was another 40h run.

I'm definetely interested in a 40h kit. I desperately need the keypad. 
Plus I'd consider a larger matrix as well, in case you guys are up to 
offer the other models as kits as well.

an 8x16 kit sounds great.  i would go for one of those!

I'd certainly dig into an 8x16 as well

I relly have to get one of these monome

Hi, rather than two 8x8s I would buy an 8x16

Will

Hi, excuse me if this is a dumb question but I am new to monome. I have 
been looking at the new sixty four, other than aesthtetics and one being 
a kit, are there any functional differences between the 64 and the 40h?

Thanks,
Steko

I'd like a 8 x 16 please..
Brandon

> other than aesthtetics and one being 
> a kit, are there any functional differences between the 64 and the 40h?

the 40h wasn't originally a kit. also, the 64 has the same buttons that 
the 256 will have, which are redesigned from the original 40h buttons.

other than the new buttons and the wood enclosure, functionality should 
be exactly the same.

i don't think the 8x16 logic kit is going to happen. i simply don't have 
enough time.

how do we place an order? megalomaneiac@yahoo.com

they are sold out so they're not taking any more orders until they make 
more.


http://forum.monome.org/topic/1171#9433

i know how you feel about not having enough time *sigh* i'm in th same 
boat myself!

i shall commence with my saving up for a 128 (or 256 if i'm lucky)

Well, if there isn't enough time for a 8x16 kit that's fine. I would 
rather that time be spent on furthering the platform that is presently 
there. You have provided infomation that most developers wouldn't even 
think of so your project falls into a very speacial realm. I am sure 
that the collective of knowledge that you are building will eventually 
spring forward with new directions from other individuals. I for one can 
sit tight and learn while waiting.

Sign me up for 1 or 2. I'm not much of solderer though, This kit would 
give me more practice and to be able make something I will use a lot. If 
it breaks I'd know how to fix it!

would definitely love to order one myself.

Im interested to make my own 4x8 using the keypad kits from sparkfun.
So i know that the keypad kit is the hold up because you have to have 
them manufactured.
Can we please buy the logic kit now?!
Or any idea how hard it would be to piece the logic kit together myself?

since the whole thing is open source, all of the information is 
available for you to build the logic device (and even the keypad) 
yourself. you could probably even get free samples of the atmega, 
max7221, and 74hc chips from each of the manufacturers.

the tough part then is that you don't have a pcb, so you'd either have 
to etch one yourself or do point to point wiring (not the end of the 
world, just time consuming) based on the schematic.

you'll also need a jtag programmer to program the atmega chip and a 
decent amount of patience, depending on your soldering skill.

all of the info you need is at http://monome.org/40h/kit at the bottom 
of the page where it says "source files"

as for why you can't buy one now, i'd imagine because the pcbs need to 
be manufactured and all of the parts need to be organized. i'm pretty 
sure brian and kelli are focusing on the 256 right now, so that's 
probably why they're not putting the kits at the top of the priority 
list (can you blame them?)

nah i cant blame them.
Doesnt make me want it any less though.
Does anyone have any experience using the sparkfun kits?
And also- does anyone have a good idea of where to buy from one place 
that will have everything that i need part wise for the logic kit aside 
from the jtag programmer?

try
www.jameco.com
www.digikey.com

i don't know if you'll be able to find everything in one place.

hmmmm
Wondering how hard its going to be to actually make the Logic Kit PCB on 
my own
???

I am also interested.

Yep totally.

Build Thousands more

Will there be another 40h production run, or are you moving to 
64/128/256 only?

Please advise if/when the kits are available again, thank you.

I'd definitely go for one if I don't get a 40h out of the next 
production run.

I'd go for a 40h kit as well.

> Wondering how hard its going to be to actually make the Logic Kit PCB on 
> my own

you won't save much money (if any) and you won't save any time.

if you've never done it before I can guarantee you'll have mistakes to 
fix.

just registered to express my interest in a kit. sounds like they'll 
sell out pretty quickly.

I'm In for the kit.  Please.

I'd like to order a PCB for the 40h ... I still haven't made my own and 
would actually rather buy one from you ... So I'm partially in demand 
for another order.

Hey Florian,
Did you get all your components for making a 40h minus the logic PCB?

I would love a keypad and logic board kit ASAP... lol

i am interested by 2 keypad (maybe 3) and 1 logic board kit. thanks

Hey yeah I have all the other components I just need the PCB Board

Sorry Last message is addressed to  vj-anomolee. Any advise?

well they have the circuit board design files on their site here, and 
you can use an online company like PCB express to take the file and ship 
you a the finished PCB.
Where did you get all your components for the Logic kit?
Please post your experience here after you order your PCB to let me know 
how it went.
