Tindie

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Everything was fine, great communication, amazing products

For Tymkrs Midi In Me

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

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!

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

For Tymkrs Midi In Me

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!!

If your circuit board needs heart surgery, trust your friends at Tymkrs to complete the job successfully! Great engineering, Great product! Trust these surgeons!

Great little amp kit!

This kit is fantastic and a ton of fun! Everything required is included except the speaker and those are easy to find from online sources or in discarded or unused radios and stereo equipment around the house.

While the circuit is simple enough that I am sure most with a little bit of knowledge and experience could put it together without the kit, the kit is so convenient and so well priced there is little reason to do so. I have purchased and assembled several of these to use as guitar and mp3 player amplifiers both for my own use and to give as gifts. My grade school age son even learned to solder using this kit and enjoys that he can make use of the end product.

It is worth noting that no documentation is included with the shipment but it is all available online. The documentation is clear and sufficient to successfully and easily assemble the kit.

Response from Tymkrs (The Toymakers) | Feb. 2, 2015

Hi Eric,

Thanks so much for your kind review - we're so glad your son was also able to learn how to solder using the kit. We love to hear stories like that! We'll take your comment on documentation into consideration, hopefully within the next year we'll come out with something a bit more user friendly!

Kindest Regards,
Addie

good stuff...

For Tymkrs Jack Me

I don't know why I am writing a review; it's kind of a no-brainer but this is a very handy tool for my bench. I highly recommend buying these sorts of bench tools even if you don't quite have a use for it yet. You'll end up needing it and be thankful you had it around as am I. This will end up getting put into a project and I'll happily order more. It works well, no surprises and shipping was lightning fast. Thanks!

Easy to assemble MIDI IN port

For Tymkrs Midi In Me

Sturdy, easy, no prob. Simple kit to add midi input to most anything.

Charles | Oct. 11, 2014

A pretty useful bench tool!

For Tymkrs TTL8 Module

I bought this board as a status indicator for a project I'm building. It seems I'll have to order more when they have them re-stocked. These things are very useful for all sorts of things. You can use them to drive other things, throw a 90 deg SIP on them and pop them into a breadboard. A great 8-bit status tool! I recommend this board if you into programming micros.

Exactly what I was hoping for!

For LED Candle Simulator

I love the cheap led tea lights you can buy everywhere else, but they're not bright enough to produce the light you'd expect from a candle. This simulator does the trick! Not only was it fun to build, but it worked exactly as shown in the videos with no tweaking. I'm using mine in a scarecrow with a jack-o-lantern head for Halloween, and even though the head is larger than an average pumpkin, it fills the whole thing with fire light! I ground the rounded lens off the LEDs with a dremel so they'd be less focused, and it really helped spread the light around. The only thing I might change is swapping out the red LEDs for a more realistic candle flame color, but I do like the subtle change between the two colors that helps sell the flicker effect. I will be back for more! :)
