Yup, that’s the usual way to do it, but I happened down an unnecessary rabbit hole

In case it's of interest to anyone, I followed this thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4805123?sortBy=best) to create an Automator app for MacOS so I can launch SpinCAD from the Launchpad, which makes things very convenient!

Ahh, I see it now, thank you! I also now see that specified in the instructions, so, I'm just hard of seeing apparently.

Hey everyone, I moved computers and was looking to install SpinCAD designer. I cloned the git repo, but I can't seem to find the .jar file (even when searching for jar files in the git web interface). I feel like I must be blind and I'm missing something obvious - any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the tip! My Terrarium is still in progress, so perhaps I’ll try adding this in the vicinity of C2 and R9

Yup, that’s basically what I was thinking, I’ll have to see if it makes more sense to then put C2 and the RC filter on the pot side of the PCB since space may be tight to also fit the seed above everything.

Very interesting, so in theory this could potentially grafted in the vicinity of C2 and R9? I’m thinking to add the 10k resistor in series with the 1u cap and the 1nF cap to ground at R9 maybe?

I built a vibracaster, which I really like. It’s a starved plate design, but I could definitely see some tweaks to use hv plates and even use tubes for the LFO rather than transistors. It’s a pretty classic bias based tremolo, and quite nice, I think.

I think with how much you’ve been pushing the envelope for what’s possible in DIY it’s understandable that some things may turn out less than ideal, especially on the first rev. I appreciated your email and your dedication to seeing things through - it really speaks to your character. I at...

I’m never going to financially recover from all of these…

I’ve really enjoyed following this project, super amazing what you all have come up with! I agree with others that the pricing you’ve proposed seems super reasonable - for maybe a comparison, I built the partial kit that MAS offers for the his Mirmir’s well, which was about 100. I didn’t think...

Nice! I just got one of these boards as well! How hot do the power transistors get? Griffin informed me that they have a built in heat sink under them - so interested to see how that works. I’m also planning on a gold enclosure - seems very fitting!

Sorry to hear about these - somewhat related, I built Moonn’s Space is fun, which is a Reverberation machine, and it works. It took awhile to get the pcb from Germany, but he did throw in a free pcb for an Interstellar Overdrive clone, which I found to be surprisingly good!

@vigilante398, if I wanted to use these for a powder coated enclosure, would I need to increase the sizes as suggested by Tayda? Thanks!

@Robert, any word on the arrival of the PCBs? I’ve got a cart queued up and I’ve run out of projects 😀 Thanks!
