Oh I noticed it right away and changed it in KiCad and definitely did not go ahead and route traces to the sleeve pads and get it fabricated ignoring the “check the jacks” item on my pre-fabrication checklist and solder it up and then wonder why it did not work.

Good to know that you used your checklist to prevent you going and wasting a bunch of time :laughing:

This does not mean 20 mega ohms:

So, this evening I took one of my case apart to get my PSUs ready for their upgrade. PSU startup problems
As I had my 8 step sequencer modupe out I decided to upgrade f it for a better arduino script, the one from @analogoutput .
So I change the layout, solder few more resistors, open the arduino software, find the script called analog output, load it the nano and I then spent 1 hour checking out everything…

(The script named “analog output” is a “demo” script from arduino. Once I loaded the proper script it worked first time)

Didn’t line up the text and the hole correctly because I made a late modification without double checking my work.

At least the complete panel looks good…other than the high and low drums are backwards to how they appear on the selector…I am not recutting it.

Great panel! What is the material/method?

Actually impressed to see the square lock hole in the face for each pot. I’m so used to just snipping it off.

Well done.

Wow, thanks for all the nice comments there!

It’s made of matte acrylic with the markings laser etched in and then filled in using Posca paint marker. The protective film that comes on the acrylic does a good job protecting the surface, though some clean up is usually still needed. Laser cutting the acrylic makes it really easy for having the little anti-rotation nubs actually be used.
