So there is no scheme, no document.
Updated build documentation coming soon…

Updated build documentation coming soon…

I think what people are trying to say is that usually the build doc is not strictly necessary to build PPCB boards because the boards are very well tested and all component values are printed on the board. The only reason you would need the schematic is in case anything went wrong or you wanted to mod it. If that’s the case, as Robert mentioned, you can just wait for the doc to be available.
This is exactly what I want. That's exactly what I'm talking about. But this requires documents. And nothing more.

My kids think so. My wife not so much.
There are how many PCBs on the site? And how many have schematics? Nearly all of them. It will come in time.
All you need is on the board. If you need more, then you wait. It is better to be quiet whilst you wait, whining never comes across well.
In the meantime, there are loads of amazing projects with build docs around. Go build something, have fun! Enjoy life!
Do you have children? I think you are about 10 years old.
Go learn some courtesy.

Not receiving the answer you wish for is not a lack of courtesy and I would not count you an example of such right now. I get this may not be you are but frustration kicks in. A lot of us have asked you why you absolutely want the doc when all the required values are printed on the board? That's basically paint by numbers. Yes the document shows the schematic and drill template, but nothing you could not do with the board in hand.
Once again, asking nicely really goes a long way.

I asked Robert a question.
Does he sell for money?
Or am I begging?
Can I ask a question?
Was it a very simple and understandable question?
If you don't like my question, you can pass by!
But no! A couple of haters think they're very smart.
I wanted to see exactly what Robert had to offer so I could decide whether to buy from him or go somewhere else.
I'm not interested in children's cpaint by numbers.
Should this be explained to children?

Because the component values are printed right on the pcb. And this is diy. And calm the fuck down. Jesus…
Another wunderkind.

Look. This happens every couple of months. It was your turn to be the one. Now let’s move on and build something. Nobody holds it against you. Enjoy a different build and show your work off!
I can officially confirm that no, but he does need to eat. Just browsing on this forum you would know that.
Kind of.... no ?
Yes. It was not until now, but now it is
Couple of people tried to tell you how you should ask and not command
Pretty clear even for grown ups
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll go build something and interfere no more in this thread.
Over and out.
I don't have more time for you. go on yourself.

The boards you listed as wanting build docs for aren't by any means complicated circuits. You could easily trace them yourself, and compare to other schematics found on the web if needed. I do it all the time, and I'm usually pretty good about snagging, building and modifying PedalPCB's boards when they drop, regardless of build doc status. I lean toward the things that are a lil wackier than a couple of gain stages, too.
Honestly, with the wonderful layouts and parts designations printed on the boards available here, the build docs are really more of a courtesy and a luxury than anything else. They're meant to be a grab n go type of deal, and in that regard there's no one that holds a candle to the offerings here. Robert busts his ass to make boards available to us and, as I've hoped you've seen, most of the amazing people here don't mind one bit that there might be a delay for the build docs. We know we're getting an awesome product, and the support offered by Robert and the members of the forum are second to none
I can genuinely say that if you were to buy a board and wanted to modify it however, someone would gladly help you realize those mods or guide you to a more suitable project

when I first started building... i would print off every single build doc!!!!!!! granted, i used the printers at work but still. i laugh at myself for the silly things i did as a new builder. i still have them in a binder that i havent opened in 3 years. i even laminated some of them (again, for free at my job). I just thought i would share that with you guys. i know some will find it as funny as i do.

Hey! I still print em! Got a binder just like that (minus the cool graphics).
I don’t look at them once it’s time to build, but they’re a nice place for me to take notes on parts subs and costs, and I like having the paper when I’m going through drawers trying to figure out what I need to order. Plus I need to print the drill templates anyway. It’s also how I keep track of which projects in my backlog I’ve ordered the parts for.
I know some very smart and efficient folks here are doing all that on spreadsheets, but once my work day is over, I like to get away from the screen if I can.
