 ===== Overview ===== ===== Overview =====
  
-MB-MTRX is a printed board for the 8x8 modulation matrix commonly used with the MB-SID projects. ​This layout ​is in large part identical ​to the MB-6582 ​matrix layout and is really ​design ​to work with it, or any solution ​using the transistor-sink design found on the MB-6582. Note that the buttons share two of the LED pins because of this.+MB-MTRX is a printed board for the 8x8 modulation matrix commonly used with the MB-SID projects. ​The main board itself ​is just the LEDs and buttons connected to SIL headers, which can connect to DIN/DOUT modules or daughterboards. The daughterboards are for converting the board to the MB-6582 design or when using shift-registers ​on the other control surface boards is desired.
  
-The board is designed with SIL headers in mind both for space and because it makes it easier to attach to the MB-6582 baseboard (or, as in my case, a jumper board that then attaches to the MB-6582).+You can find more information about the boards [[mb-sidr8tr:​start|here]].

-**DISCLAIMER** ​This board has not been tested. It looks like it should work as advertised but until someone puts on together and gives it a spin, be aware of this. I cannot and will not make any guarantees to success! If in doubt, do not participate or, at least, have a look at the board layout and schematics.+**DISCLAIMER** ​These boards have not been tested.

-Where are the schematics? The design is still be ratified via the above forum post. Once it has been settled, the layout, schematics, and Eagle files will be available here and on the main MB-SIDR8TR page.

 ===== Costs ===== ===== Costs =====
  
-So far the cost seems to be around $15 for the boards itself assuming 25 boardsThis goes down based upon time and number of boardsIf people don't mind waiting over month to get boards, the cost drops to $9.50 for 25. This is an estimate based upon a previous iteration ​of the board design so the costs may wiggle a bit by the time the bulk order is ready. I suspect ​the cost may drop ever so slightly if SMD diodes are used.+For 25 boards, it will be around $15, possibly less depending on any deals going on at the time and how long a turn-around time I can getFor 50 this goes down to about $8.25. This does not include shipping (just the board price). 
 + 
 +I may be going with [[http://​dorkbotpdx.org/​wiki/​pcb_order|these]] folks instead as the costs for smaller run are favorable. For 20 boards, the cost will be about $10 a boardFor less than that, the cost would be about $17. This is "​back ​of the napkin"​ style math as I haven'​t yet done an official quote or anything. This option is still up in the air but thought I would share it for those on the fence about the bulk order pricing, or the next to hit 25 boards as minimum.
