A litany of dumbassery

Now you have a nice drilling guide, you just need to offset it a bit.

oh man that sucks . be careful , if you have spares its best to clip them off and just work the little bits of wire out , don’t ask how i now that .

Or just solder the new reg to the stubs left from snipping out…

My dumbass mistake… My multi step sequencer project is going well. Except my multiplexers are 3 bit which only gives 8 states… Fine you may think… Except it needs to be OFF as well :frowning:

This is acived by pulling high the enable pins on the muxes, which in the design I tied them to ground so they are always on BALLS…

So i need to do some jumper wires to create some extra control for enable… Will be fixed for the next boards!..

I somehow managed to do this for my first 2 modules, and even to this day the LMNC modules never fit in my case without cracking out the hacksaw on my fat wooden rails. Great relief to see I’m not the only one who’s done this

LOL I had to rebuild my cases because of this , made rails to small and panels wouldn’t fit in box when I filled the rows .

i did end up wasting 20 minutes or so carefully using solder wick to remove and swap the voltage regulators (I had no extras). worked like a charm.

dam I was really going for a build progress picture.




just realized I put the boards on up side down . at least I don’t have to resolder everything just loosing everything [ jacks , pcb’s ] and flip them over .
