EXCELLENT!!! Well built. Very useful. PERFECT.

Simple but very useful module.
Great maker, shipped immediately and incredibly well packed.
Wish I discovered this before. So nice to have 8 channels on one cable.

GlitchCRT FTW

For Tymkrs GlitchCRT Eurorack Module

There's really nothing else like this for eurorack format, and especially not in this price range. I'm so happy with the existence of such a device, as it allows me to dirty mix (and effect with sound!) multiple different sets of visuals, for a really great looking outcome. Love the GlitchCRT and tymkrs!

Perfect

I was all set to try to make something myself to help route some patchpoints out the back of my rack to a few different outboard gadgets, and decided to search for anything that might already exist. These bulkheads are exactly what I was wanting! Solid, great looking, elegant modules (only 2HP!) that are more than worth the price. Absolutely perfect. Arrived quickly, well packaged in a nice Tymkrs box - I'll absolutely be getting a few more. Highly recommended!

Great module

For Tymkrs A2H Eurorack Module

Works perfectly as advertised! I have one of these and one H2A and I use them both regularly in my setup.

Stephen | May 5, 2022

Great module!

For Tymkrs H2A Eurorack Module

Does exactly what it says on the tin! Works great combined with the A2H module to create feedback, and also delay a signal to run back into a mixer (like the GlitchCRT, also from Tymkrs!).

Spectacular module for low price!

For Tymkrs GlitchCRT Eurorack Module

Modular video synthesis is generally really expensive, and also really hard to acquire. Tymkrs has overcome both of these obstacles with their lineup. The GlitchCRT is essentially a Eurorack format version of a dirty video mixer, but with 3 video inputs, and also an audio input! What more could you ask for? I created a small video synth setup with 3 of these and I run a bunch of old Videonics gear into them, and it's a blast. They pair great with the other Tymkrs modules, and I even use it with some Syntonie modules as well and everything talks to each other without issue. Support this great small team!

Justin | May 16, 2021

Exactly what I was looking for

This gives me a way of running cables inside of the eurorack chassis to get connections closer to where they need to plug in.

Instead of having giant long cables from my keystep pro all over the front of my eurorack -- they're routed inside my case, and split off to two bulkhead modules. Makes things WAY neater. Pretty dope.

Shipped quickly, packaged very well. I would absolutely buy from Tymkrs again.

Cut the cords MkII

For Tymkrs A2H Eurorack Module

This takes the guts of simple scan converter and puts it into a eurorack format. Make sure to note the depth of these little things as they are deeper than most standalone cases.

Great Product and Service

For Tymkrs GlitchCRT Eurorack Module

This made a great addition to my 4ms POD case along side other glitch gear! The communmication with the sell was Amazing too. I hope they do more video and audio gear. Will buy from again for sure.

Nathaniel | April 12, 2021

Great little pass through unit!

Perfect unit that passes through everything - midi, stereo, mono with minimal fuss. Very happy with this inexpensive functional unit - I bought 3 for my rack!

Beats with the utmost care

The Tymkrs Heart Me v3 is at a very specific intersection of interests. I personally think it takes a particular sort of nerd that is going to be able to enjoy the anatomical and cardiovascular accuracies, while also appreciating the beauty that is a small, portable PCB.

If you find yourself standing at that corner, then this is for you.

I personally was drawn to it because of a fantastic twitter interaction, and couldn't help myself after seeing not only how artistic it was, but how it strives to show off a bit of medical knowledge. (Not that I have any medical knowledge myself; I just love the implementation.)

The craftsmanship and delivery was excellent as well.

My only complaint (if you can call it that) is the need for a pair of CR2032s, with the "switching off" method being taking the batteries out. A small annoyance, but not enough to detract from the overall presentation.

Ryan | March 18, 2021

It's amazing, the best bussing option period.

His is best option to bus signals in a larger system. ALL the other options use integrated wires by ethernet or hdmi etc. What this does is cause crosstalk between the signals. It can be negligable... or it cannot. Because of the direct design here, this module has no crosstalk intrinsically with the design. And you choose the quality of the cable to do the bussing so you can make it as bulletproof as you want. I'm sure I'll buy two more eventually.

Response from Tymkrs (The Toymakers) | March 18, 2021

Thanks so much for your kind remarks and so glad you have found them useful!

Troy | Oct. 29, 2020

Looks good. Works Perfectly

This was my first DIY module. Managed to figure it out and it worked first try. I have to admit that I did get a bit confused making it though as there were no instructions, which would have been nice to have. But I did figure it out so it can't have been that difficult.

Response from Tymkrs (The Toymakers) | March 4, 2021

Thanks for your review and glad it worked well for you! We've changed these to all be pre-assembled so hopefully that alleviates the lack of instruction!

Bob | Oct. 25, 2020

It's beautiful.

It's a wonderful design, fun and inspiring. Nothing more need be said to fill the 100 character minimum for this review.

Really nice well put together kit

For LED Candle Simulator

This looked interesting, with a lot of open information on it available by the people creating this, and I bought several of these with the intention of playing with them, making some mods, just trying out different things mostly as a way to learn about pic microcontrollers. I've put together two, and now they have already become gifts for friends and family that were amazed when they saw them working. It is a really nice simulation of wind-blown flames right out the box. It is a well organized project, nice custom pcb board, all parts,socket and cpu included, and the controller already programmed ready to go. Instructions are clear (though I would recommend installing the battery pack at the end so it's not in the way during assembly), and overall a very nice easy experience. It takes a lot of work to lay out instructions in an easy to understand manner, and I appreciate the work they did to make this a fun project. I'm glad I got several, just hoping I'll have one left over to play with.

Ryan | May 16, 2019

Awesome toy to have showing off.

The Heart shows many rhythms that the heart goes through it is mesmerizing to look at and lasts a long time with the batteries it takes.

Frank | April 20, 2019

Everything was fine, great communication, amazing products

And many thanks for the additional kit, because of the small delay. I can use it well.
I highly recommend your shop.

Does what it says on the tin

Product does exactly what it says. This is a great tool for interfacing with the receiving end of a MIDI signal. Fits nicely into a breadboard and is easy to integrate with other circuits, or probe with a scope. Took a while to get to shipping (I think it was the last in stock and was hard to find or something. Didn't feel like normal turnaround time + I don't think it was their fault), but once it got in the mail it arrived pretty quick. They threw in their LED VU meter kit along with this one, maybe as consolation for delayed shipment, or just a fluke. Either way, it was appreciated. Both kits were well constructed and did their jobs. Documentation on their site is extremely thorough, though I would have liked to see a link directly to it on the Tindie product page. Would recommend and would buy again.

Michael | April 28, 2018

Great product from a great maker

I love the Heart Me! It's highly functional, works exactly as described. It looks great on clothes or a backpack. Not too bright, which is good considering the number of LEDs on the board. It doesn't have an on/off switch per se, so I use a small bit of plastic or paper between the battery and the holder when not in use.

Seller was very fast to send the item and provided a tracking number. I couldn't be happier. :)

James | Aug. 5, 2017

I need more

For LED Candle Simulator

I need about 10 more of these kits, maybe up to 15. Can you get more of these, I purchased what you had!

Steven | June 26, 2017

Unimpressed

When I got my mini amp kit the resistor was missing. It took a day or two of emails to get a replacement mailed. The mail was delayed and was delivered several days after the estimated delivery date. Had there been documentation on the type of resistor I could have bought one myself.

Response from Tymkrs (The Toymakers) | Aug. 6, 2017

Hi Steven,

Our apologies for the resistor being missing - the QC folks have been appropriately notified. The datasheets are all available at http://tymkrs.com/products.html and there is a direct link on the page it is being sold on labeled "Documentation". We hope though that the amplifier works as intended!

great product !

Such fun and easy to build and modify. Liked it so much I bought 3 !

What a great idea!!!!!

For IR Transmitter Kit

What a great kit...Our cable company kept raising the cable box prices so we decided to save some money and use these kits. They were also very easy to put together. Thank you so much!!

Roberto | Dec. 6, 2016

pretty fun to put together.

Pretty nice kit, was fun putting together, was missing the battery clip but found a replacement on amazon for. cant wait to use this for my audio projects.

Response from Tymkrs (The Toymakers) | Dec. 7, 2016

Hi Roberto,

Sorry about the missing battery clip - please let me know if I can provide a replacement as well! I hope it works well!

Worked out better than expected, going back to buy more

For IR Transmitter Kit

I bought this (and the IR receiver component) to talk to an amplifier in another room. I was worried that the cable might be too long, etc. I didn't like any of the commercial solutions since none of the kits fit my use case.
This kit was extremely easy to solder and the instructions are very good. I was up and running in no time, and the flexibility to adjust it while building means I can feed it 5V from the TV USB and drop the power supply, and I can also just run the receiver/transmitter at the end of small wires and make the actual intrusive/visible part of the kit much smaller. I was extremely surprised at how well everything worked the first time I plugged it in.

To make it better now I can also automate! I can put a raspberry PI on the "bus" and record the sequences/retransmit any way I want. I can have complex behavior which would be impossible to automate otherwise.

Extremely recommended! The seller also contacted me right away regarding the inventory and were very flexible in fulfilling my order. I couldn't be happier.

Response from Tymkrs (The Toymakers) | Sept. 3, 2016

Great! We're using it ourselves for our own systems and am glad it's working for you! I'm working on getting more stock in the next couple of weeks so keep your eyes peeled!

Convenient kit

Simple but convenient kit. Was just going to buy all of these parts separately but then found this kit. Documentation is only on their website, and is ok. Using for reading raw MIDI data. Check out Bent-Tronics.com to see this product in use (soon).

Response from Tymkrs (The Toymakers) | July 4, 2016

Thanks Jesse - glad it's working for you! Looking forward to your project and feel free to let us know what additional information you would have liked to see in the documentation.

Xlnt way to get started with MIDI in with minimum fuss.

I have done MIDI out with Propellers before to play synthesizers, but hadn't tackled MIDI in until now, as I've been a little intimidated by trying to parse a serial in data stream. I had breadboarded up MIDI interfaces for MIDI out, but when I saw these little guys, it was a no-brainer. Yup, had to have those (o:

Just to help with the software, the demo is great, but one note (no pun intended). The demo works great, but only "sees" a MIDI off message. To send a "note off" many MIDI controllers only send a MIDI "note on" with a velocity (equivalent to volume) of zero, which effectively shuts the note off. I scratched my head for a sec when I wasn't seeing a note off in the terminal program from my Oxygen 8 keyboard controller until I realized what was happening (o:

Great product with excellent software example to get you up and going right away!
Thanks much for this time-saving kit!

Response from Tymkrs (The Toymakers) | June 7, 2016

Thank you for your kind words and glad you're enjoying the kit! Here's to many more MIDI and Propeller adventures!!

Great!

This amp works great on small 8 ohm speakers. It was easy to put together thanks to the YouTube video. It would be nice to have a PDF diagram too.

Just what I needed for my cosplay!

For Tymkrs Blink Me

I was looking for a blinking led kit to use for my R.O.B. the Robot cosplay (remember that old Nintendo accessory), and I came across this. Between the simplicity & modest price, I was interested & got it. Now, it's been a very, very long time since I did any sort of soldering project, so I had my concerns, but like I said earlier, the simplicity of this project, not to mention the build video, was a great help.

At the end of it all, I have a bright enough blinking led that is sure to make my R.O.B. really pop, and I'll be sure to buy more from these people in the future.

Thanks so much for your kind review! Let us know if we can help you with any customized project as well!
