Open baffle planars and servo subs

[HAL]

Meet The Megaliths baffles in my favorite color scheme.

Next up installing the BG Neo10 drivers and wiring them to the amp modules.

The damaged FPS planars will be dropped off to go back to PE for replacements.  

Arrived damaged or did you blow them up they "malfunction?"  

[HAL]

Arrived damaged due to bad packing from PE.  No explosions so far.

If I am not mistaken it looks like you have the room to put a line of Neo 3s beside the 10s in the baffle if you wanted to.

[HAL]

Yes.  Those are on order whenever PE gets their shipment of BG Neo3-PDR's.  Already in the design.  Until then, will EQ the Neo10's flat.

Here is what they look like test fit in the baffle.

Looking good, I like the color of the stain you used.

Scotty,
Thanks!  The closest thing to purpleheart color with oak I could find.  Minwax water based stain and a stock color.

Time to start marking screw hole positions and drilling the pilot holes for the square drive #4 wood screws.  Only 64 holes to drill by hand.

    Making progress there Hal.

Thanks Charles,

Only took 13 months to get the baffles completed.

New tool day yesterday.  Went to Harbor Freight and picked up a drill guide.  Since I have 240 holes to drill, this should come in handy.

Thinking about a drilling guide template as well.

Using Wolfram's Mathmatica on the Raspberry Pi 3, have the notebook working that calculates the time delays required for the dspMusik digital crossover for the BG Neo10 planar drivers. Will do another section in the code for the BG Neo3-PDR's.

The normal home PC version of Mathmatica is $249. The Raspberry Pi 3 is $35, SMPS is $8, The Raspian OS is free for download and $13 get you a 64GB MicroSDXC boot drive. Total cost is $56. That is a very good reason to me to get one.

Building the last 18 moded ChipAmp modules and 9 power supply PC boards as the toroidal power transformers should all be here Monday. Then start drilling holes in heatsinks to mount the amp modules to test them. Will be using the new drilling guide for these to get nice vertical holes!

  A busy Bee for sure. Cool stuff Hal keep it coming.

Charles,
Having fun!

Finally got Mathmatica to generate a PDF output file, so now have a real document for a hard copy of the calculations. 

Now to keep working on the method to drill 240 holes! Have some other drilling guides coming to help.

  Hire a woodpecker with good aim.  Kidding aside the concept of OB all around has always been a desire of mine for some time. Tried to get Greg to use the OB subs with just his panels but !

Greg wants to demo my servo subs around CAF time.  We will see what happens.
