I have been completely frustrated in my attempt to use Github as version control for KiCad projects. I am using KiCad 9, and Mac (Tahoe). What I don't understand is how to overcome errors when I attempt to add a project to version control. If I use username and password, I can get to a point...

I have a 14 Pro and use the app ProCam, which lets you avoid a lot of processing. I barely use it's features, but shooting full resolution at 1x gives me far better detail than 2x on the Camera app.

Oh, I share your thoughts here - having seen interviews with Andy and Stuart (as well as Sting), I have to say that there was plenty of pretentiousness to go around in the Police, but Andy seems the most likable. Somehow you make that enclosure look spacious. Nice look. (btw, what do you use...

What I meant is that I used Chuck's test drive and they appeared to be legitimate. The current was on the high end of spec (750µA) but within spec, and very much lower than other chips I compared against.

I finally finished Dave @szukalski 's Sheepylove P90 that @MichaelW was kind enough to share with me. Although I don't have a proper case, I borrowed one of my blanks, complete with extra holes (who knew that the out of 20+ cases, I have only made one case with a top-center hole for...

For Rat's the closest thing I hear to the LM308 is an OP07, which is more reliably sourced. I also bought LM308's from Jameco that appear to be genuine.

I just noticed a tool on the Tayda site, which is new to me, and I don't see in any of the Forums. They've posted a tool which you can use to check your PDF files before printing. Here is a new tool to analyze your final PDF file, it can help you to see if your files has issues and it can...

I just picked up a string (plastic taped thing?) of the OPA1678, too. I built a couple of the AionFX Aurora versions of Keeley Compressor's last fqll and now I am motivated to go back and replace the OpAmps and see if I can hear the difference.

For DIY fuzz face, I think breadboard is essential. I have made Si Fuzzes with hFE like this, and I think the thing to watch for is the circuit going into oscillation feedback at high Fuzz setting. My humble opinion (ask me physical chemistry, if you want not-humble opinions) is that the cure is...

Also IPA (91% - as Michael noted IPA sucks moisture out of the air, so getting dry IPA isn't useful if you aren't taking measures to keep it that way). I add a drop of surfactant (i.e. dish-soap or espresso machine cleaner). Toothbrush until today. Ultrasound after today. rinse with water.

The signal path direction (1 to 2&3 vs 2&3 to 1) doesn't matter. Really. Full CW is always maximum resistance between pins 1 and 2. You don't have to believe me, though, you can measure this for yourself to confirm what I am telling you. You probably should, seeing is believing, because then you...

I think the orientation within the schematic doesn't matter; the circuit is seeing the resistance between 1 and 2, in either case, with max resistance at CW. In both cases, the potentiometer is acting as a variable resistor, with no meaning to the orientation. (You may already know this well...

Nice and simple. Certainly looks lie D9K based upon the color code references I have seen. Russian Diodes translated at D9 Diodes

To quote a major brand,"Just do it." Before them, I often used to say to myself, "Do It, Damn It." That works too.

I saved this one for a while too, and at the end of the day, if you have the correct height parts, it isn't a big deal. In some ways, it's easier than some other boards because the two layers means everything is spaced out nicely. Trust yourself and go for it!

I purchased similar from LCSC. Some were Kyet and some Hongzhi Electric. I put out this order when the WIMA 1µF disappeared last fall.

Although I haven't cased this, I wanted to post my build report on the Byzantium Flanger so I can share some details on how I tuned this PCB. Stay tuned for a Phido Sound name and case... Build This was the last of the PCBs I bought in my summer 2025 purchasing spree, I save this double-layer...

Howdy all. I also have a set of these PCBs coming from JLCPCB, I am using 2 (maybe three) but would be happy to share 2 of them. Probably won't arrive for a couple of weeks - I am never in enough of a hurry to pay for any shipping upgrades...

I think that's Candy Copper. It was new to me last November, so I ordered an unprinted case for a Muffinator Fuzz. I think it works well with the gold hardware, and it's easy to get legible print on it.

oooh. I need to add these. Lord knows the fun I had finding part numbers for the 1 SMD I've done to date.
