Got some basic components for the next projects: film capacitors, some missing resistor values, blank uv pcbs, cables and jacks, and a lot of jst connectors.

Waiting for the delivery of the bag of potentiometers.

Who made this again? I totally forgot I even ordered it! Lol
BOM and such?

yeah, my memory is getting pretty bad…
I’ve actually been getting kinda worried… heh.

Too many solder fumes up the old thinker eh :wink:

Those fumes can be redirected, by removing some parts of your setup.

Glad it arrived in one piece :smiley:

BOM etc is on GitHub: github.com/sonosus
I made a mistake on the silkscreen; when you wire the jacks, make sure to connect the + header to the - jack and vice versa.

Have fun with it !

Forgot these we due, the fun of the random delivery times when choosing the budget postage, just a little under two weeks to deliver to the UK.
My first attempt at designing a Kosmo module, a quad lfo with individual and master time control, based on the simple one core vco in the lm13700 datasheet.

Someone should verify if im right, but i think tayda finally stocks these.

If im not being a dumb dumb, ill put this in the cheap components thread and wherever we saw it was a BOM.

Would you be so kind to share a schematic?

@Jos
I intend to share the project, I would like to test my build first. I did run into an issue yesterday where one of the jack socket housings clashes with the main PCB, I shall fit a panel mounted socket for this build, and update the PCB design for the next set of boards. I can of course upload the schematic as soon as I know the design works.

Oh whoops I just ordered 4 more modules from @lookmumnocomputer . What a pity. :stuck_out_tongue:

Got a bunch of resistors from Tayda including these rather surprising 9.1k. Nothing in the listing said anything about short lead length and the datasheet showed the usual. Not that it’s necessarily a problem for anything I’d use these for (they’re for the stash, no particular project) but…

maybe you can buy some jacks next time “for the stash” :smiley:

If my spreadsheet isn’t lying (it’s lying) I have 41 jacks in my stash now, and only 18 needed for the next several projects.

Ah yes, I also have a spreadsheet for this. I spread out my stash, then say “sheet, I’m 1 short”…
