At the moment I have no money, so no order, no solder so no construction ! , but I have that in mind all days, and I continue in my head and with research my preparations for future modules. I make some adaptation from schematic to a stripboard format on paper like this ![DSCF2007](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/2X/c/cc2f6580518cd82bde699c02685781fdae2e0a7a.jpeg) II think that if i could clean it up with a software, once verified it would be usable to share (with my disgusting paper everything is not understandable šŸ˜ ) What do you use please (free / open source off course) Thx ---

Played with fritzing but DIYLC is better. Keep doing the paper though. You could always make an art project or Decoupage a case šŸ˜ƒ ---

On a side note funny thing is that it is even cheaper to create and order stripboard from JLCPCB than to buy it from a supplier. In your place I would start to design my boards in kicad and then order all of them when you get the resources. You can create a stripboard design in kicad. ---

I wonder why this method is not used much more often. I think they are brilliant! ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/2X/f/f6e2bf68cbfce10d48644058b8613ff2807c309a.jpeg) Besides, can someone explain why there is a 15k resistor between + 5V and -12v? Right there where the Eurorack plug belongs? Found it here: > **[paper\_synth:ps808kd \[Paper-PCBs\]](http://paperpcb.dernulleffekt.de/doku.php?id=paper_synth:ps808kd)** ---

There are xs on the +5V pins of the header, which I take to mean theyā€™re not connected, so that strip is being used for another purpose (connecting the resistor from -12V to the LED). But why not just use a 2x5 header? Also, all 6 header ground pins should be connected to ground (which would require some strip cuts). Speaking of strip cuts, arenā€™t there any? I mean, there must be some under the op amp, which they oddly have not shown. None elsewhere? ---

Quickly looking over it it seems to be voltage divider to give you -5V to power TL072. Correct me someone if iā€™m wrong. EDIT: Yeah I overlooked it and made up something completely stupid. ---
