Lots of random numbers!

For TrueRNGpro

The device came in a box on time. I would give the product 5 stars, but it didn't come with a USB cable to hook it up to my computer, so I had to dig one out from my box of cables. That minor inconvenience cost the product a single star. It is fickle on my part, I admit, but it's what it is. This is how we rate things nowadays.
The numbers come out really random once you setup the right dll on your machine and use a program to read from the com port. I found some code in C# on a random forum and it does the trick. It takes a little leg work to get your first batch of randomness, but once you have it, wow. It's really random. The good stuff. You can use it however you like. Think of the possibilities! I liked the whole process of the transaction.

Awesome version of a classic!

For Atari Punkr Kit

This Atari Punk Console (henceforth, "APC") is a stellar version of a classic design.

I was first interested in the APC via someone else's DIY kit. Upon digging further, I came across yet *another* different kit featuring more control options (touch-pads; photo-resistors). And again, my internet rabbit-hole went deeper, until I found the Ubld.it Atari Punkr Console kit. This was exactly what I'd been after: an APC of fine design, with incredible timing options!

Caveat time: The kit came with no instructions, instead directing to an online how-to with a handful of typos. [Note to UBld: I'll GLADLY proofread your guides, in exchange for kits. I'm a cheap partner!] However, once I'd gone over the parts list and how-to, everything was sorted and completed quickly.

On to the finished unit: It rules! My intention is to use this APC with a sampler. Even without said device, this APC is crazy-fun and definitely worth the price.

In closing: If you're new to DIY synth kits, APCs, or just soldering parts together for fun...the UBld Atari Punkr is (upon completion) an incredible device with myriad sounds at its disposal. You won't be disappointed!!

Good stuff, easy to assemble, easy to use, but not cheap!

For MIDI Breakout Board EZ

I would buy it again because of short delivery time, but other companies are cheaper. Anyway, it is a good choice, works without problem.

Well done but same shortcomings as the competition

For MIDI Breakout Board EZ

This board is well designed, the instructions are great and it arrived quickly. What I would really like to see in a MIDI Breakout Board is less of the "me too" sameness that so many of these have, and a little more of the "designed better" that this market really needs. I think this is a reasonable request and this designer could easily accomplish it. First it needs to have a buffered output. This is the way the official MIDI spec was written and I won't buy a MIDI Breakout Board again that doesn't have it. By the way, this is the third such board I have investigated. Second, it would not be hard to add optional MIDI activity LEDs. By adding a one 7414 and some high efficiency LEDs both tasks could be accomplished. I hope this designed takes my recommendations to heart. On the other hand, if you just want a minimal board, this will do the trick.

Good TRNG, simple to use and reliable

For TrueRNG V2

Excellent product. Passes all the tests for randomness and reasonably fast data rate. Good enough for my needs anyway. Documentation a little thin though other users have been kind enough to document their experience on the web.

nice rng

For TrueRNG V2

Entropy on mine is good. Code and driver worked fine. Shipping was fast though it wasnt packed well..was out of the bubble wrap floating in box. Good product at affordable price.

Brett, I'm sorry your device fell out of the bubble wrap. We have never had this complaint before so I didn't know it was an issue. We will look into this and experiment with better packaging techniques.

TrueRNG V2 USB

For TrueRNG V2

Device was easy enough to set up once I compiled the correct kernel module to drive the device. The udev rule provided on the website works perfectly. Setting up the Rngd daemon to fetch randomness from the device was also simple. The quality of randomness derived from this device is high and mixed with several other sources it provides my /dev/random pool with extremely high-quality randomness. I use this device in a KVM host to provide randomness to several guest domains and it keeps them all happily stocked with entropy even under load.

device wrkd as advrtsd making strong stream of randosm bit

For TrueRNG V2

Good price for a light-weight, true random number generator. Kudos to the designer(s)!

Good product

For TrueRNG V2

Actually the first one I received was defective - the output was extremely non-random. However, the creators were quite prompt and helpful in sending a replacement. New device works as advertised.

Great product at a great price.

For TrueRNG V2

This product works well and the numbers it produces passes all the test suites we can throw at it.

We were so impressed with it that we added it as a TRNG device to our software product TRaNGen2.

It would be nice if there were signed drivers for it for Windows 8, but it works great on Windows 7 and XP
