Very nice!

Always nice to see some shrink tube!

I can't have enough of the stuff :-)

Build Reports / My Imp

Last post by benh - June 10, 2025, 04:31:10 AM

Here's my Imp build ! I called it YAK (Yet Another Klon). Artwork is good old water slide, before I started playing with Tayda UV. It's an AI generated Centaur with a Yak's head :-)

The mod you can see is a switch doubling the 3n9 tone cap. I should have called it "Fat" rather than T-Boost I suppose....

Ge diodes are D9Es from DIYguitarpedals AU

It sounds great! :-)

General Questions / Re: Question on BoomBoom/Brass...

Last post by madbean - June 09, 2025, 03:54:57 AM

First time I've used a MadBean PCB and have a question on the LED pad.  I'm not using a separate bypass board (SSBP, etc).  Maybe I'm missing it but don't see an LED attachment referenced on the schematic.

The LED pad appears to provide a voltage source for the LED, with the 9v board voltage dropped across an R820 resistor.  So I'll still want a 1k+ resistor for the LED. 

Is this correct?

The LED pad is connected directly to the 9v source. So, if you are not using any bypass board you'll need to hard wire a CLR before your actual LED connects to the bypass switch.

I'm about 100 hours into Baldur's Gate 3, which means my party has finally actually arrived at Baldur's Gate.  Having a lot of fun doing all the quests, and the character and story development is very well done.

I gotta start that one! It's been in my steam library since the last sale. Also gotta do rdr2. Can't believe I snagged that for $12.

Wife has been ramping up the garden and we've already got berries. They're not the biggest, but man are they good!

Looking forward to the san marzanos. They're in the greenhouse, because we've had some weird weather, but the sun is out now and frost is highly unlikely.
