quick question for everyone. are the line-out pins the same as other ipods? i.e. can I use LODs from other ipods for the touch?

I have an apple ipod touch too. it's so nice, but it's a little too expensive for me to mod =D

congrats Jon!

haha! I was on my iPod touch. The spell check automatically changed "modded" to "nodded" My obbligatos are burning in nicely. Will post impressions in a few days.

Please do keep us updated Russ! I have a spare mini here waiting to be modded

VVS_75, always unbelievable work I ordered some Obbligato caps last week. We'll see how they compare to my fully burned in Sonicaps (over 300 hours already).

good job ferds! wgr, keep us updated on the 5.5g. i'm planning on getting one to mod after I sell my nano

looking good iQEM it looks like a really tight fit with the BGs and female jack. Plus it looks like if you press hard on the jack it might disturb the BGs. You could just give up the idea of a completely internal female jack and go with one that is slightly external. Like ipod connector ->...

I acquired a 1G 4gb Mini and will experiment when I have time and money to buy more stuff. I really want to mod my 5.5G or buy another one to experiment =D

A few pages back a few of us made docks that can charge, play music, and sync at the same time. Look at the pin layouts on the iPod Linux site. You only need USB power + and -

Looking good. I have the EXACT setup with the sonicaps and 1g Nano. Except my case looks is a budget one.

Great work! I was looking at the Mini^3 this morning also. How many hours did it take? Any approximate cost for all the parts?

I'm in the process of building a beefier dock like ALO. Basically I want a slot for the iPod with a plug at the bottom of the slot. It should be able to charge, transfer data, and enclose some big caps. I'm trying to think of a cheap way to accomplish all this. Jon, maybe we can brainstorm...

I also used wire wrap. It is from Radioshack and *looks* silver coated.

I ordered one or two days before christmas and opted for the $14 shipping (second cheapest shipping by either fedex/ups, don't remember). it took at least 2 weeks.
