I've updated
the documentation section with pictures of assembled
MegaDrum32.
Also I want to invite anyone who has experience with any of
Roland, Yamaha, Alesis and etc Drum Modules to test MegaDrum at my place (with
my kit) or at your place (with your kit) to provide an independent
feedback/review to the E-Drum community. E-mail to me at d_skachkov at yahoo dот com and we will
arrange time and place. One condition though:) You will be willing to travel to
Oxfordshire area or live not far from it. I'm away on a holiday until 24th,

All
schematics and PCBs (except ft232 USB board) are now in DipTrace format.
Off course you can modify the PCBs to your liking using free version of
DipTrace. Also check out this
version of PCB contributed by BlueDragon. It combines
MegaDrum32 Digital Board and AVR-CDC USB interface in one
PCB.

I've now converted schematics for MegaDrum32 Digital
Board and Analogue Board. The rest of the schematics will be converted
later. The whole purpose of this conversion was to create PCBs for
MegaDrum. On the Schematics page you can now
download PCBs in DipTrace format. This is my first attempt at
PCBs and the may not look ideal. But now you can download schematics in
editable format and can create your own versions of
PCBs:)

You probably know about Edrum Monitor which is a great
addition to any MIDI drum module. There is a special version in development
which, when ready, will work in tandem with MegaDrum and even will allow to
ommit LCD from MegaDrum schematics. Check out this
thread on the forum there.

Updated documentation section to include information about
installing USB drivers. Also added AVR-CDC firwmare in the downloads section.

Updated
MegaDrum Configuration guide with SysEx messages
description.

Updated documentation
section. I just added a preliminary version of MegaDrum Configuration
guide.

I have just come back from my holiday so I'm
resuming my work on the project. First, I was advised to add 100 Ohm resistors
on the 4051 inputs to protect it from static electricity. I've updated the
Analogue Board schematics accordingly. I should mention that my test Analogue
Board is running fine without those resistors but to be on a safe side I'd
recommend to use them when you build your Analogue Board.
 

I'm away on holiday for two weeks from tomorrow. I won't update
this site during this time (there is still a lot to add in the doc/faq section)
but I'll try to answer questions.

MegaDrum is made public.
