This is an old revision of the document!
All files on this page are for DIY/noncommercial use only. PM me on the forum for help/advice/whatever regarding my design. Big thanks to TK, nILS, Wilba and anyone else who helped! DESIGN SOFTWARE USED: -------------------- All free software :)\\ KiCAD for PCB/Schematics: http://kicad.sourceforge.net/wiki/Main_Page\\ Sketchup for main panel/chassis etc. work: http://sketchup.google.com/\\ A Sketchup plugin to export to .svg: http://code.google.com/p/sketchup-svg-outline-plugin/\\ Inkscape for .svg editing: www.inkscape.org/\\ MANUFACTURING: ------------------- Chassis and front panel are from www.ponoko.com (New Zealand hub). Materials include acrylic: 3mm Black (frosted 1 side), 3mm Clear, 4.5mm Arctic Ice; and 7mm veneered MDF.\\ PCBs were manufactured at Gold Phoenix. Dimensions and layout were chosen/compromised to fit max. sizes available at both Ponoko and Gold Phoenix. WARNING!!!! -------------------- This is a work in progress. Some aspects are (as yet) untested, some contain bugs, and some imperfect. \\ I have endeavoured to only share files that I have used to get PCBs, panels etc. produced. If this is not the case it will be noted. I do not plan to produce corrected design files unless I need them for myself.\\ Use of these designs is at your own risk. A list of currently known issues follows:\\ KNOWN ISSUES / BUILD SUGGESTIONS: -------------------- - 5x17.brd contains an error due to a problem in TK's original BLM schematic. I'll be working on a software fix for this, it should be simple.\\ - blm-full.* are currently untested, except as used in the 5x17.brd. The above schematic error is corrected.\\ - blm-scalar.* contain an error. Pins I4-I7 are mirrored. This is easily fixed with a connector modification, and the blm-scalar module seems to work as intended.\\ - P3-frontpanel.svg has blue (cut) lines around engraving marks for some of the fader scale lines. I have worked around this by filling the holes with paint.\\ - Good idea to request ponoko to do the engraving on the matte side. My prototyping runs came with the engraving on the glossy side.\\ - Some sanding is required to get LCD windows and button caps to fit correctly.\\ - Check LED orientation prior to soldering - it may not match the outline printed on the board.\\ DESIGN FILES: -------------------- {{:findbuddha:findbuddha-shared-wiki-docs-0.1.zip|}}
