Not really, because the strips run horizontally. In principle it could be one on the back edge, if I wanted to rebuild it with a somewhat rearranged layout and probably a several units larger stripboard to accomplish the routing. But if I were rebuilding it I’d probably just do it without the Molex and solder to the board directly.
It’s only a couple millimeters beyond what it should be, and as long as I’m careful what I put it next to, I don’t think it’s worth worrying about.
I haven’t posted anything bigger than this one, and right now I’m mostly designing/building pieces for a larger build, but I promise to keep the thread updated
Any idea whats may be wrong with this APC? 500k pods and 100k gave same result, sound changes only when they are close to the min value. On the end of the record you can hear sound goes up - I switched off power before it starts.
For relax I done panel from aliexpress 4$ module. Just adding AUX in and proper power socket. It records as MP3 160, so not best, but for the beginning will fit my needs.
Needs some polish when glue dry and holes of course : )
I officially started on building the new case today by cutting two of the nominally 60" (actually 60.5") Vector rails in half, and a piece of sheet aluminum to the same 30.25". Speaking of new cases, COVID-19 diagnosis rates are still steady or increasing in central New York, so it will be some time before I’m willing to go shopping for wood. Until then I can’t do much else. But it’s started.
I’m facing equal unwillingness to proceed with case plans. Whether its observed cases are becoming fewer or not in the midst of the city’s hotspot I’m not going shopping for wood.
I’m not riding the subway until the observed cases start to be steady or unreported. I’m not from a neighborhood with a shop and they’re all 15 miles away.
Assembled just enough to be able to test and verify the layout mistake is now corrected. This circuit’s very modular, I can populate sections and check that they work before committing time and components to filling the whole thing.
My first go at a pcb faceplate, still gotta fix a couple small things like flipping one of the boards so they are orientated correctly (they are opposite to each other right now)
I’ll have extras when I get around to printing and testing—I’ll post again when I get hard copies. Or you can have a go with the gerbers that I’ll upload soon
One thing I spot is the power input is on the Panel side of the board, is this one of the things you intend to correct?
On the daughter boards, what are the extra header pins for?
What switches are you using?
I have been designing my boards with the daughter boards as partc of the main PCB with a snap line, not sure if it reduces cost that much. I think with JLC it saves a bit of shipping as they add cost per pcb.
