Not PCB mount pots no. You could use any size pots you wanted, but to fit these boards in 1590a's it's recommended to use 9mm pots.

Alrighty, thanks!

Bean, do you have a recommended on/off resistance for the Afterlife's Optocoupler? I've got some NSL-32s left over, but the Vactecs are $9 now at Smallbear so I'd prefer not to have to use them if something else will work (they were $5 last month! oof).

Check the datasheet for the recommended vactrol. It will have the approximate light/dark resistance for the photocell.

Collosalus BOM from pg.3 is missing one 500k trimpot for the clock. So, you need 2x 20k and 1x 500k trimpots to build it. These are fitted for the 3362 type trimmers.

Is the pre-order stuff still shipping this week?

I updated the Projects page yesterday with new info:

04.05 - Pre-Orders are still being manufactured. Shipping has been moved until the second week of April. I will announce a firm shipping date on the forum once I receive confirmation from the manufacturer.

Thanks, I was about to ask this myself. I've been getting antsy waiting to build my Cave Dweller

[madbean]

Just another update: I'm still waiting on the manufacturer to ship, but I expect this to happen anytime now. My apologies again on the longer than expected wait. I do believe they will ship to me within the next couple of days.

I think any builder knows how this goes, on both sides of the equation (waiting extra time and having to take extra time before shipping). It happens.

[madbean]

Finally, I have received shipping notification from the manufacturer. The Pre-Orders will start going out in just a few days time. I'm hopeful that I will be able to start shipping them on Saturday.

I see pictures of newborn babies on the projects page!
