Okay, we're on beantime now. Still working on project docs. It's a haul but we'll see how far I can get over the next few days.

All good! Gives me some time to start a daisy seed project and start my digital journey  ;D

Totally random too... but the shopping list for the sludgehammer has 4x 2u2 electrolytics listed (at least in the previous rev of the doc), but only actually needs 3

I was just looking through my components for a 2.2uf capacitor for a different project and got lucky with this typo to have a spare laying around, so I was appreciative of it, but figured if you are revving the doc you may want it up to date.

Just checked my closet, I didn't drill for the LED because I was only concerned about fit/tolerances everywhere else! The bottom row of pots is a nonissue I think, will put a slight bend in the leads. And bypass switch seems workable. So I am in for the new board, thanks!

Quote from: xconverge on September 22, 2024, 11:16:36 PMI can be patient and wait for it to come up/docs showup... but SludgeHammer says - 2024 revision, did anything change in the BoM or enclosure spacing/drill template for this? I had an enclosure drilled and BoM purchased (to save on shipping for a few projects at once) for the previous rev of docs (2021?) and am wondering if I will need/want to buy a new enclosure or other parts?

Thanks!

I'll check the drill template but it should be very very close. The vast majority of the updates are just changing out for new library parts and moving the drill spots slightly to a millimeter grid. If there too much movement I will get you one of the previous boards. The new SludgeHammer does include a bypass board - that's the only "circuit" change I think.

Thanks, sounds good!

I always put the pots in the drilled enclosure and then fit the finished pcb to it before soldering them all. This method I have made work even when I forgot to print at 100% scale so if it is remotely close I don't for-see any issues, it is super forgiving, even for a tight build like this one!

It is also a bare aluminum enclosure, so nothing fancy like predrilled/powder coated/uv printed, so I am not in it for too much :)
