That link doesn’t answer when you ordered, though 
nor does it answer what shipping option you used (the defaults vary depending on destination country, the phase of the moon, etc).

So I guess at least one module will be working : D
… maybe, because if there is no SMD I prefer DIY : )

Ooooooooooooooooo
Ups rang me, a parcel missing the house number…
Woo…
Simple VCO, cut to size for daughter board.
Front panel for that.
Almost perfect, tiny alignment issue on pot. And unwanted ref symbols. And serial number.
Cheap Step V1 main board, unfortunately I did not account for overlap with daughter board. I realised this when doing a full redesign yesterday. Will be ok for testing. I also need to flip the arduino mega footprint so that it will plug in rather than having to find one without headers attached 
Will get a VCO done over the weekend

Bad day turned into a semi-good evening.
Not the newest machine, but I don’t game, so I’m sure this will do!

Deja vu.
Hopefully this version will work!
(Also some parts from Tayda but that may be too much deja vu.)
I think both were originally estimated to arrive next Tuesday. USPS and DHL seem to be doing just fine in my area.

If there’s anything I love more than getting new stuff, it’s getting new stuff that’s also old stuff. But new. Behold, a NOS Vector card cage kit from the 1980’s:
Not gonna lie, I thought it was 2 x 3U and I was going to use it for Eurorack; turns out it’s 5U. However, I have a set of 6U rack sides already and the kit came with three sets of rails. So now I have two more Eurorack rows AND a Kosmo card cage!:

Nearly forgot, I received a couple of AS6408 64 channel analogue multiplexer cards today. This is going to be insanely useful for creating signal digitisers such as multichannel CV-MIDI converters. They cost a ridiculous £6.70 each, contain 9 4051s, and can be polled both as 8 digital ADC output streams and as a single ADC output stream. Just add one or more microcontrollers to taste, and the whole thing can handle 20V peak to peak signals.
Thanks to @twinturbo for the heads up.

That kit you picture there looks like the No. 4. I had one of those in the early sixties, in the red and green colour scheme of the era.

She got here a week ago when I was outta town, so happy with the sounds. Still figuring out designing sounds but it’s so awesome!

yeah they are blooming great as a prototype , i created a footprint in KiCad but for my own stuff now the power of being able to get stuff done in PCB overtaking the need…
just watch your Top Rail voltage for the analogue, it caused me some frustration as the Docs seem wrong…
