Request List for the fourth bulk order of “GM5” - this is an Atmel AVR based USB chip with preburned USB-MIDI firmware (out-of-the-box solution)

This product has been developed by http://www.ploytec.de
Schematics and Eagle file of the PCB: http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_usb_gm5.html

The chip works under Windows/MacOS/Linux with the common USB-MIDI-Driver, but there is also a custom driver for Windows available to overcome the Microsoft driver flaws (a drawback of the old MBHP_USB module)

Per chip you will get 5 physical MIDI IOs. The dedicated Windows driver makes it multi-client capable. Under MacOS the interface is multi-client capable by default.

Package: TQFP32 (SMD, but can be soldered with a good soldering iron similar to AN2131SC (→ MBHP_USB))

Prices (inclusive 19% VAT):
4.50 EUR per unit for a batch of 250 chips
3.50 EUR per unit for a batch of 1000 chips

Minimum quantity: n x 250

First come, first serve! We need n x 250 chips, if more than 250, but less than 500 chips are preordered, you need to wait for the next run

Beside of the GM5 chips, Ploytec also provides PCBs especially made for midibox.org for 3.00 EUR pp. (incl. 19% VAT)
Please specify the desired quantity at the third column.

History:

NOTE: there is also a bigger PCB available which provides all MIDI IOs at a single board: gm5x5x5 - in this run organized by TK, only the compact PCBs with single on-board MIDI IN/OUT sockets and J6 for external IO extension can be ordered.
