NomNom Speed LED Cicuit

The speed control transfer image on page 11 of the NomNom build doc doesn't seem to match the schematic above it - LS pad has no trace. Shouldn't it be connected to Q1 gate which then connects to the LS pad on the PCB?

Thanks in advance -Kenny

Yep, you are right. There does appear to be a missing trace. Huh. Not sure how this went so long without being noticed!

In any case, if you have etched it I'd fold excess wire from the LS pad over to the gate and solder it in place. That should do it.

I should come up with something else that doesn't involve a JFET, considering how expensive they are now.

Thanks for your reply!
