Heavy Water Two

I must be getting old. WoW: Legion has gone live, no server issues, no lag, smooth as butter, and I'm NOT mainlining it.

Ordered the rest of the parts for this, and this is where I am so far:

Its... its beautiful Love the led/ldr arrangement!

Would DEFINITELY be interested in this Alan... 

[Martan]

Definitely interested if any available.

Rest of my parts turned up, and a few hours were spent troubleshooting.

Traces need to be cut, patches need to be made, and a couple resistors have to be bodged in. I'm pretty sure the Depth pot works backwards :/

[Jules]

Still interested Alan, what type Ldr did you use?

[alanp]

Cheapo, bog standard Tayda LDRs.

I'm not happy with the amount of bodging needed on this board. I'm tempted to have another run of a revised version done. I need to re-route the Resonance pot, and then test again. too late, right now.

As it stands, if I sold copies of the current version of this board, it'd rate as Wile E. difficulty.

[alanp]

Done!




More patches on the pcb than I like, but it works

Given that I had to bend all the sequencer pots out of the way to troubleshoot, it wound up being a real adventure, getting the sodding board in the enclosure with 18 pots, 9 of which were bent out of alignment!



This is to illustrate how much floorspace I saved

[m-Kresol]

turned out great Alan. so much space on top and you still go with side mount jacks

on a more serious note, great job on drilling/alignement. this is a horror scenario for me. At least they were 16mm pots and not 9mm

All the LFO signals and noisy grounds are flying around the top of the PCB -- I didn't want to go near them with my audio signals.

Looking good!  That's a lot of knobs.  I see why you went with inexpensive ones.
Nice work on the recessed LEDs.  I've yet to try that.

[Govmnt_Lacky]

Looks fantastic Alan!

Let us know when you get the boards sorted. Definitely interested in building this... 

[LaceSensor]

Looks amazing
I think Im game - save me a set once the kinks are ironed out

[Addy Bart]

Wow! You deserve a medal Alan 

[Clark GriswoId]

Very cool. Do you have a drill template to go with the board?

If so, im interested.
