Lightspeed remote control
Hi Alan,
I would be pleased if you create a BOM for the boards as it will save me time, thank you.
I see this as a communal project and encourage discussion and ideas from others, particularly with further applications development and knowledge management on the thread.
Regards
Paul

Yes, you do need to register. Its a bit of a pain but a lot of forums do that. However, its a useful and informative forum that is certainly worth registering with. I would venture to say there is not another forum like it on the net because of his projects pages.

I hope to generate a lot more action on this thread. Build action of course!
LDRs have been expensive so I am doing a group buy. I will only announce this once here to not infringe on the purpose of this thread.
I just put in an order for 700 LDRs. I will be matching them for you if you like and also selling them at zero profit unmatched. I will be here as well as many others to help you build. Please lets keep questions on this thread.
I am writing a paper describing in detail exactly how to build this attenuator an why you are using each component. I do not describe how to build the power supply because there are so many options.
Here is full pricing
I charge $4 for shipping anywhere in the world. Flat rate.
Required $3 donation to DIYaudio for each order is included in your price.
30 cents plus 3% of final total covers paypal fees.
I am paying 1.54 each for LDRs after taxes and paypal fees they end up at 1.667 each.
Unbalanced Stereo Matched Set = 38.42 includes all fees and shipping
Balanced Stereo Matched Set = 100.22 includes all fees and shipping
Examples of quantities and pricing for unmatched LDRs including all fees and shipping:
25 = 50.44
50 = 93.97
75 = 136.29
100 = 179.22
Here is how it is calculated
((LDRs*1.54)(taxes of 8.25%)) +Shipping + DIYaudio Donation + Minimum PayPal fee of 30 cents
Multiply the whole thing by 3%
There are now plenty of LDRs left so please dont hesitate to put your order in.
PLEASE DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD TO PURCHASE THEM

A bit quiet here
I thought I might do a preamp like this
With stereo LDR into a Pass B1 buffer
Double stereo out via 2 stereo LDR
At first I thought I would use "only" two seperate stereo outputs with seperate stereo LDR lightspeed
One to adjust woofers, and other mid/tweet
But might be a bit tidious in the long run, though I dont adjust volume that much
But maybe use use a 3. stereo LDR lightspeed
What do you think of this
Should I get a 3. set of LDR, or better forget it
Would the complication mean too much loss of quality
Its a special way to do a biamped passive speaker system
Reality is that over time most will probably use a digital filter fore at least woofers, in which case the above will be of less use
Alternatively I could do just one output with LDR att (woofers), and the other straight
There could also be one straight bypassed the B1
Lots of possible configurations
I might also build Aikido tubeunit to connect my FM tuner

So I am writing a paper and I need the experts to look at it and comment. This is NOT my final copy so dont use it to build your LSA.
Wish I could post a .doc but its got to be .pdf I suppose.
No pics in it yet but later there will be.
Please tell me what I have got wrong or forgotten.

Yeah, but what I wanted further is a way to control a biamped system
Not sure whether the passive LDR attenuator will like several stereo amps in paralel
I believe Pass has announced a FirstWatt special B2 biamp version, as well as a B3 with gain
And just now I see a B4 filter/eq
So it may be early days fore that
As always, this never seems to have an end

First stab at BOM for PH boards
Please (someone) take a look at the attached BOM for Paul Hynes boards. It is only for Farnell (UK) at the moment - I will do Mouser / Digikey over the weekend.
I have checked sizes etc against the boards and all looks OK but second opinion would be great.

Thought I change my avatar, hope nobody minds, it's less of a plug than putting an half a dozen advertising web site addresses in the signature like some do.
While were at it with some of the new inductees to the Lightspeed Attenuator thread, please vote for our own "Passive Preamp" forum here.

Cheers George & may the Lightspeed be with you.

George, its a cool avatar
Maybe a bit over the top, but I hope this will be my Lightspeed/Aikido preamp, fore my future speaker projects
A bit worried about the complexity and possible noise/microphonic issues, interference etc.
Will the Aikido be able to drive 3x lightspeed att
I might consider to do output with just 2x lightspeed
Will the main lightspeed controller be able to drive both the Aikido and the sub out
Any ideas about which issues I am facing with this?

VCCS Instructions.
Paul,
I am just about finished the BOM - I know more now than I did before - especially about some web-sites!
I would like to see the instructions to make sure that I have interpreted everything correctly - how is it going?
Whatever - I will publish the BOM this evening after a further check and hope that someone will check it for me.
