Whatever happened with the controller boards to build spinner controllers and what not for the nuon?

I do know that the full schematics for the controller are available so someone who wanted to do a custom NUON controller could do so. Hopefully someone will identify that there is a huge NUON controller shortage and fill the void. You might want to ask this question on the Atari Age NUON thread that I posted earlier which might get some interest from those controller making people.

I missed out on the first batch. There is supposed to be a second one happening at some point. I sure hope so.

And you two are some of the biggest Nuon fans there is. My guess is they didn't make release or something halted them at the last minute.

Apparently there were no custom NUON Polyface chips available. Basically, if you wanted a rotary you had to sacrifice a regular controller. However, I found this on Google and it says NUON certified in the description so I wonder maybe...

Discussion - The NUON Controller Polyface chip thread

I sent in Request for Quotes on the NUON Polyface chip references I found but I noticed that one of the sources had reduced stock of at least 150. I am removing all links on this site to the sources except for this thread. I just want to watch what the interest is on these specific links here...

I just hope that NUON specification is the real NUON and not the European energy company.

Google search picture of board in the yak twister is the model number of what you found. Question is, is the chip on the board?

Funny thing about this... Both of these sources show stock of the Polyface chip that the NUON controllers use. The avspares one says it was updated stock amount today. Do they not respond to inquiries or has anybody check these sources?

I have inquired on both. Just a FYI - it appears that the stock has dropped on the jotrin page by about 150 :) That was not me I asked for a quote on all they have left.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
