Hi
thats good news , I can see DIP

[Pete the Builder]

Can it be done with out SMD ?

What's SMD? No, if possible I'll stick to the original. I'm a "through-hole" kinda guy anyway!

Seriously though, I'll almost certainly do an additional SOIC variant as well as the TH design.

I'm juggling a few things at the moment, but I'll post some updates and answer any major design questions here.

Stay tuned. Do not adjust your browser.

Let the resurrection be.

So what are you waiting for

[Pete the Builder]

FrankenUPIM, anyone?

Is anyone still interested in the original switched-cap sampler?

if there's enough interest (and assuming BW gives approval), I'm thinking of resuscitating the 64-sample design, as it seems to me to be an excellent learning tool for those with a digital bent. (Hey, if BW could see enough clues to finesse the design from 64 samplers to 2 in one step, imagine the possibilities for the rest of us!)

i would be updating the hardware to use much more reliable board sockets, with perhaps less focus on size and more on investigation and education. Initially, I was thinking of using an Arduino, possibly the Due (due to memory, pin count, DACs, etc); but hey, it seemed to work pretty well on the AtMega, so if it ain't broke...

If there is enough interest, I'll do a pro PCB design as well. And I guess there should be no limit on participation if anyone has ideas to make it more accessible for international members...

Is anyone interested in this?

I didn't recall the cartoons, and surprised that I had not deleted them already. Rectified.

[Pete the Builder]

I have to admit, even with my background, I was...er...surprised? dismayed? embarrassed?... to see cartoons in an otherwise technically fascinating thread. Or maybe they were intended as genuine fun. The missus didn't think so, though, and she's much better tuned than I am. Ah well.

Thanks, guys, for keeping the thread available. It was interesting to see this approach develop, even though it's been superseded.

Cheers,
Pete

Wow. Three astonishing designs sunk without trace, thanks to the gutless jackal commenters (most of whom smelled much like metal detector competitors, IMHO).

At least I've learned some amazing things, so thanks, bugwhispers, I'm so pleased to have been able to learn as much as I did. Much appreciated!

As an ex-Rat boy, I was happy to learn from another!
Cheers,
Pete

Bugwhiskers is still active with the MC QED but i think will now only post on my forum. Your comments are spot on!

Return Bugwhisker

I read this post on UPIM and was on the verge of owning & committing myself to the very good DIY but hopes crashed as Master Bugwhisker took a leave. Tried googling around and found a link - but alas that was under some kind of cloud firewall "Incapsula" <http://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=upim+bugwiskers&source=web&cd=1&v ed=0CEAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Faustralianelectronic goldprospectingforum.com%2Fbasic-questions-forum%2Fupim%2F%3Fwap2&ei=Uqu8T--HHMi8rAeZgMGjDQ&usg=AFQjCNEpy-LfQudZQJfqwc7eH8gbpGgu_Q&cad=rja> at least from India - maybe the thread shall be aggregrated and closed for further requests. Maybe with whatever has been left scattered - someone "GURU" like - can take it to final conclusion in the same open-source spirit.

Hi elbombaci,
New on the forun,i'm in France,i want to ask you if you can help me about the UPIM,i asked to bugwhiskers :no reply;thank and best regards.

[moscadondres]

Hi bugwhiskers,
New in the forun,i'll would like ask some questions about the UPIM,i don't want squeeze you like a leemon but your help is important,i know electronics like a hobby,i can't calcul anything about it;do you have a mother board with the atmega?best regards.

I KNOW THAT I'M NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT THE PROJECT NOR TO SAY ANY COMMENT BECOUSE WE ARE ONLY WAYTING FOR THWE PROJECT TO END UP
I'M SORRY
I DONT KNOW HOW CAN I BE HELPFULL TO THIS FORUM I AM STUDING MICROCONTROLER SINCE 2 YEARS BUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I'M HEARING ABOUT
SO I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENDTO THE PROJECT IS IT COMPLETED NOW OR WE HAVE SOME TROUBELS IN DISCRIM ....
THANK YOU ALL I APPRICIATE THE WORK YOU HAVE DONE
