3trinsRGB+1c to LZX Adapter PCB

Very excited about this module! Would it also work to bring routine composite signals into an LZX workflow? Will you make it available on Reverb or Etsy? Thanks!!

It adds 2 extra outputs (s-video & another composite), and the LZX format RGB outs.
The LZX format outputs can be patched directly into your modules. the composite outputs are handy for routings through your modular & syncing both video synths.

it will be released on my website, Etsy and other sites, along with the updated version of the Triple Comparator.

soon!

ok, I have a question to you (future users):

The output expander (3T-EXP) has a 8pin cable that connects to the 3TrinsRGB.
I have designed a helper pcb that connects to the pins on the 3trinsRGB and has a 8pin shrouded header, so that you can connect a flatcable from the 3T-EXP to the thelper pcb, and disconnect it if you please.

This cabel has to go from your eurorack case to the 3TrinsRGB.

Scenario 1:
3trinsRGB mounted in an eurorack case.
Connect the cable directly to the 3T-EXP pcb, behind the panel.

Scenario 2:
3trinsRGB situated next to an eurorack case.
Now, the flatcable should be snaked through the 3T-EXP panel in some way.

My proposal is to have a slit on the side of the panel to do just that.
The question is also, what side would be preferred? right, left, or both?

Hmmmmm…
I guess both side slit. although somehow left feels more natural. I can’t say why though.

I could see left side making sense because the cable will probably connect to the expander pins on the right side of the 3trinsRGB, so to prevent the cable from covering the panel on either the 3trinsRGB or the LZX adapter the slit on the panel would have to be on the left.

Also my 3trinsRGB has already been modified with a 6 pin header to work with the original LZX adapter PCB, will that be compatible to work with the 8pin cable for this newer version?

My vote would be for a slit on both sides, but I don’t feel particularly strongly about it. Very excited about this—thanks for the update :slight_smile:

the helper pcb has the same pin header as the LZX adapter and adds 2 extra pins.
These need to be wired or connected in some other handy way :slight_smile:
I’ll test if I can make the connector con the helper pcb suitable for both the pinheader method and with a screwterminal block

I’ve added 2 slits on the panel (left and right) and adjusted the main pcb by moving the 8pin header next to the slit position. This way you can choose for yourself which way is best. By folding the flatcable to the back of the pcb, if will fit on the left slit.

new version with panel update (flatcable slots on both sides) and connector pcb
I think it is ready to go!

I’ll do a final test and then make an order thread
note: the connector pcb will get an update for people who have pinheaders on the side of their 3TrinsRGB and want to make it disconnectable.

the pcb set is ready and available now. I’ll make an order thread :slight_smile:
I still have to make a buildguide!
