Mouser BOMs with better parts quality?

There is a link on each project page on the Aionfx website. It has a spreadsheet with parts # and everything. You literally copy and paste the whole thing into the mouser BOM import and it’s there.

OK cool! That helps. I see it now, but I only see his projects. Does anyone offer a similar Google doc for these PedalPCB projects? Seems like an obvious thing. I'm willing to do it, but I don't want to waste my time if its already been done.

Nah. People are bending over backward to accommodate you here but you seem to want to be contrarian and spoon fed yet still. Despite being told exactly what you can expect to find and where, you are arguing that a BOM is not a BOM and it’s not to be found, and, despite being a super formidable amp builder since the nineties, you’re buying parts that don’t fit on a pedal circuit board.

I don’t know man, maybe this isn’t your speed. If it seems harsh, you’re absolutely right. Coming into a community and insulting people is not the way to go about things.

Oh, and fuck all the way off with that racist avatar.

I'm part Native American and my last name is Savage. SO YOU can eff right off! Go tell a black guy not to use the N-word next, and see where that gets you!

Not my speed? Maybe you're right. Seems like I'm already a few gears up from you hobbyists. However, then I see an actual professional like AionFX doing it right and I wonder why that can't be done here? And if the board maker here at PedalPCB isn't able to, then I'm offering to help community source it. There is nothing harsh about it, but I hate repeating what has already been done. And now I'm repeating myself.

Please, if you aren't offering help, then just don't bother. I don't have time to hang out and debate.

Thanks to all that have helped. I got the answers I needed. Not what I was looking for, but that's fine. To those that offered noise and were argumentative or insulting, then maybe you can see why independent forums everywhere are disappearing and moving to Fecesbook. Enjoy what you've built! I'm out.

Yeah, I know how to solder. Do you know how to finish documenting a project before you offer it to the public?

I'm looking for specific parts numbers so that I don't need to weed through all the tedious measurements of a million 1uf 50v caps, for example.

I apologize, we don't do kits here... There may be a bit more emphasis on the Y in DIY than others?

Aion's build docs also have really nice technical writeups and circuit explanations, you won't find that here either...

tablebeast said:
Yeah, I don't like that at all. How can you clone a pedal, have the boards made and then not be prepared to tell folks the parts they need to build it? Coming soon? Then your boards aren't ready to sell. What was your point in posting this?

Allow me to explain.... people request PCBs for pedals. PCBs are fabricated, but it takes a bit more time to put together documentation...

We have two choices.

We can not offer the PCB to anyone, and everyone can wait.....

or

We can make the PCB available to those who feel comfortable assembling a PCB without documentation. It can be your choice whether you want to build it.... if you've built a few projects from here you know that's far from an impossible task. If you're not comfortable, stick to projects that have documentation available. That seems to make the most sense to me. Maybe I'm mistaken?
 
I get you're like super busy and can't possibly define search criteria or read posts, but I think a lot of your issues would be resolved by thinking a bit more critically about your priors and assumptions.

That’s as close as I got to what you are asking. I gave up because I still found Tayda overall easier for me to use and I’m not that particular about component selection. I don’t build in large batches so the economy of scale is not relevant to me. I think many people are in my same boat.

I think people would definitely appreciate if others shared parts numbers for Mouser or Digikey as you suggest. I think you make some good points but they are watered down by a very confrontational attitude and by the fact that you have been crapping all over Robert’s work. This community is somewhat built around his work, besides the diy hobby, and we are here to support him so that’s gonna get some harsh reactions. If you don’t want to buy a PCB without the build doc, you don’t have to. There are many other vendors who always offer the build doc. If you want the Mouser BOM Aion offers, you know where to get it. If you want to share BOMs with parts numbers for PedalPCB I’m sure folks will appreciate it.

Fair enough. I appreciate you and your work. I just need more than you're offering with your build documentation. Silly me, I thought the FORUM would be the place to find helpful advice. Yet, instead I run into a bunch of jokes, memes, and elitist nonsense messing up the little signal being offered. Not worth the hassle for me. I'll just do what you guys all apparently do: pointlessly repeat the same work again as some kind of badge of honor.

I'm not crapping over the work Robert is doing, not at all. It just seems incomplete. I was here to confirm it was incomplete so that I can help complete it, at least for my own needs. And I thought maybe others would have similar needs. What this whole thing has taught me though, is that parts kits for these boards are sorely needed. I like building stuff, not searching Mouser for tech specs. I'm sure lots of others agree. So, I WILL dig through Mouser and do just that. That way others can benefit from the work.

If I sound confrontational, it is just a mirror of the way I'm being treated on here.
 
Guy, you were given answers that directly answered your questions multiple times and each time your argued against it. If you don't understand why saying "I'm new here...lemme tell y'all why you're doing it wrong" is not getting a warm reception (which I'd argue you actually are getting overwhelming accommodating responses), I don't know what to tell you. People are very aware of the existence of parts kits and they choose to buy them or not. You're not forced to buy something that doesn't work for you.

The attitude of "I want thing X, I speak for the masses that surely want X too" is an incredibly arrogant position to take.

We all source parts in ways that makes sense for us. Prescribed BOMs with specific SKUs is incredibly limiting and has very little purpose outside of extremely limited or casual building for many people.
