Recreating the RSVE mod…

[sporniket]

Over the weekend I will rename this whole thread to “Recreating the RSVE mod…” as that’s more in line with the great work you guys have been doing.

That's great :)

The universe allowed me to advance a little, I did a custom socket for the oscillator using #0169 (shameless product placement :D ) and now I am preparing the LEDs.

I got a message from exxos, the GAL departed for their long journey, I hope that they will arrive safely and in a timely manners despite the strikes and the freezing cold that is coming...

Here is a draft of a little guide to install the assembled rsve into the ST. Or more like "which MFP pin is wired to which point of the RSVE".

I don't intend to be thorough but if you feel that a little clarification would be helpfull here and there, I am happy to amend this guide.

Just grabbed it, will look at it a bit later...

Thanks for taking the time to put it together. All thumbs, can't chew gum and walk
at the same time, super clumsy klutzes like me need all the help we can get. :)

Done installing the led. Now waiting for the GAL to arrive to perform the final step of assembly (put all the chips on their respective socket).

@exxos, @Darklord, I just received the set of GALs from exxos. I will be able to finish this week-end.

Preparing a parcel for international shipping has become quite the ordeal when one is not equipped like a professionnal (big boxes to have enough surface to stick all the needed documents, self adhesive see-through document holder). Ridiculous !! **With Alan Rickman's Severus Snape's voice**

Anyway, it's packed and ready to go to the post office...
