Pcb question

[Username123]

Does the pcb include everything pictured in the wiring diagram, such as the led and breakout board?

Those are separate. Technically don't need either to make the circuit work. The LED is used as an indicator on/off light. The breakout board is not necessary, but makes wiring a bit easier.

Why are they not listed in the parts lists?

 

[BuddytheReow]

For the LED, it's really up to you what kind you want in terms of size or color. Connections are the same for each. I tend to like 5mm LEDs with a bezel (holder to keep it in the enclosure). As mentioned above a breakout board is not 100% necessary, but they are sold here.

Why are they not listed in the parts lists?

Just a heads up, the footswitch, 1/4" jacks, DC jack, and enclosure aren't listed in the parts list either.

Yeah I know about that stuff. Just didn't know that a breakout board was seperate.

Which project shows a 3PDT daughter board in the build document? Also, there’s a footnote that says common offboard components are not listed in the BOM.

Exactly. I don't know. This would be my first build. I know nothing about this. I don't see any footnote. It is a bill of materials. It should at least include a separate part of the circuit.

You're right. I guess the updated BOM style doesn't include the footnote that used to be there.

This used to be included in all build docs:

It is a bill of materials. It should at least include a separate part of the circuit.

What does this mean?

There is no breakout board depicted in the wiring diagram. This shows you how to wire a 3PDT switch directly from the board:


Also, this thread might be helpful for you.

Alrighty.
