First pcb prototype attempt

I’ll re upload them. If you don’t mind another question: when I upload a new file (fix/update/whatever) does it replace the old file destructively or is there a record kept automatically?

For example for the buffered mult, would probably useful in your case since you have a pcb that matches. But also the corrections need to be done

Yeah, that’s the whole point of Git (upon which GitHub is based): it keeps all versions of all the files and you can go in and recover an old version when you need to.

(That said, today I explicitly created a “V1” folder within my Gate Grinder repository for the schematics and PCB as produced, alongside the corrected and improved versions I’ve made more recently. You could dig those versions out, but I felt like having them there for people to find without having to drill down into the version history.)

I don’t know Git, but normally revision control systems let you tag files for example with release numbers so one can retrieve a set of consistent files corresponding to a given release. That way you don’t need to create folders or zip files together.
Not zipping files together also makes it easier to see the differences between one version of a file and the next.

Sure. But someone other than me who needs the schematics for the first run of Gate Grinder might not know how to do that. Hence the V1 folder.

yeah I am an old carpenter and even when I look at git hub my old eyes glaze over and my pee brain goes WTF am I looking at LOL . I envy you guys that can look at the lines of “code” and it makes perfect sense to you .
