Title: Biohazard - dual channel Boneyard in a 125b
Post by: Willybomb on April 15, 2020, 02:52:06 PM
Gudday all, here's Biohazard, a Boneyard on vero.

The guts are a mess as I had to re-wire all sorts of things after finding out that if your LEDs are pot mounted, you need to switch out pins 2-3, not pin 1.  Then, after working all that out, it had a squeal that wasn't there out of the box so I dropped a klon buffer in to fix that.

Yellow/green asymmetrical LEDs on Channel 1, asymmetric red on channel 2.

Pretty happy with the drilling on the face, but the top mounted jacks are laughable, again.

Willy.

That's a clean looking graphic. I like it. Also, I've never seen anyone print the layout to scale and use it on the board, that's gotta be helpful.

Thanks.  I'm lacking a bit of inspiration these days for my pedal art.

I do that on everything these days and it's cut my number of non first time starters to 1 in 10, probably.  The layouts at Tagboard always scale correctly, but sometimes the ones in the forum and other sources don't.  You need 11 holes from inch to inch - first hole being at 0, the eleventh at 1 - and for some reason some will get that first 11 holes right but they go out after that.  I haven't worked out why that is exactly, but the ones on the main page do.

Believe it or not, I learnt to do this in 1986 as an 11 year old, from a book called "How to make computer controlled robots". I did it for a robot board, but never finished the robot proper.  I remembered the resizing technique a couple of years ago, and haven't looked back since.

That's awesome. I do something similar but less analog, solely because I don't have a printer at home.
