The AVCC 2 has been around for about a month I think. Not sure when it came. I first read that it was ready for sale 7 nov 2012

Ok Thanks, I`ll have a look at it.

After going back and forth between different designs, plans etc for a very long time, I have tested a consept that I actually like the looks of irl.

"The best design is no design".

The components will be hidden behind the CD`s wich will be in a cd shelf that will occupy half of the shelf depth. The components themselves are placed behind them and when or if there is a need to access them the cd-shelf will be pulled out (with the cd`s in them).

An additional case that is easily opened and closed for testing and prototyping is also done. that is based on a computer case (lian li pc-v1000) that has been given to me after assisting with computer trouble and building of a new computer. This allows me to place it more easily than other test/proto solutions.

The design work on front panels etc will continue, but I doubt that I will make them for myself. Friends and family on the other hand is an entirely different matter. But by doing this solution in my own system, I will free up space for building and testing of other systems without having to loose the music from my own system.

Thanks. If it had not been for your efforts and work with the hifiduino code I would have never been able to get to the point I am now.

I used to have lots of gear, but now I just want to hide as much of it as possible. The natural hiding place for me is behind my cd`s / dvd`s etc (my "books" as I call them).



Since that image was taken I moved the system so that I would be facing the fireplace (with something nice in the glass) while listening.



I am hoping that TPA, You, Corpius and others will continue to develop and contribute. My only wish atm is that someone with the skills required to develop iPad/Phone and android apps would make it possible to control the whole thing from cellphones via wifi. I made an attempt to get a Logitech harmony Link to work, but the support on that in Norway is terrible (not sold on this market). And The efforts on it regarding Android compability is close to non-existing (I wonder how much Apple pay for that to be the case...).

But anyway. Reading up on your site, and still trying to figure out how to do this the best possible way, but so far I like what I see and hear. Since our brain is so much centered around what we see it is hard to not be affected about the appearance of "prototyping stereo". At least it is in my case (even though my eyesight is redused).

oled first testTrying to get the oled working. Still a lot to do.

Looking good

Gwikse is using it with the twilcd board from akafugu, but there is a good chance that it will work with the lcdExtraIO board. The only thing that might not work is setting the display's brightness.

Thanks for the info Corpius and gwiske! I see the pinout is slightly different. The backlight control not working as implemented would be a no go for me.

I have too many things going (scope died, Krell phono board MC issues, DAC assembly) so best I schedule a different LCD for a future date.
