Another Rostock Comes to Life

Post by koontzrd »

My Rostock lives!!!!
This was a really fun and challenging project - (I had never soldered before) But the instructions were straightforward and I felt that they were easy to understand.
I did make a couple of mistakes putting it together including:
1) I put the screws that hold the plexiglass corners into the wrong side of the boards and then had to find a way to get them inside the machine after everything was put together.
2) I learned that you should turn off the machine before installing the peak fan - and blew one of the tiny fuses on the Rambo Controller.

But everything is up and running now!

Also, I added a reversible USB genderchanger: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VS ... UTF8&psc=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; as a USB port and ran a short USB cable inside from the port to the Rambo. That way I could plug and unplug the USB cable without opening the panel.

Yes, thanks for posting that link! I've been looking for something similar for a while (RJ45).

Very good job in using the USB genderchanger.
I will be getting one of those!

Love the USB connect. Just ordered one. This will prevent over manipulation of the Rambo and damage.

Of note your link points to an "A-to-B" feed through where as you really want a "B-to-A" feed through.

Thanks. Dan
