So. I found a killer deal on some NPN germaniums. Got a good little batch, and wouldn't ya know it? They're all pretty well P-H-U-C-K-E-D. Leakage in the 2ma range. Meh. But...hey. these are vintage. From about 1969 or so. Probably not perfectly stored over the years. So I'm...

Carbon filter is a good idea. HEPAs are dope. Nuthins gonna beat actually extracting fumes though. That is: transporting them outside, away from you.

Fluke 87V? If you can get someone else to buy it for ya.

A'ite. I can't stand it. Am I the only one here randomly neighing "James Baxandall"?

Sounds like they're primarily interested in the big fish, then. Or rather, folks with consistent imports. Makes sense why chase bliss had to alter the way they did things a bit. Doing a bit of reading...the official page makes it sound *really* in depth. BOM, drawings, compliance documents...

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!! I mean, cool man. Neato. Schweet.

I've gotten the impression that shipping new electronics to any of the EU member states requires strict RoHS compliance. Dunno though. Dunno exactly what that entails. Like, is it similar to UL listing in that it requires documentation of all component parts to ensure compliance...

Whoop whoop to my homies. Magnets - How do they work?

Don't do it. Trust me. Syphilis.

The other route, as others have pointed out: just kneecap a MN3007. Its a lot easier to cut the clock range for a single chip in half.

That change was made to limit the amount of components needed...made for a total of 8 fewer resistors and a smaller dip switch. MNXX07S and xx05s both have dual outputs that I typically see joined together by a pair of resistors. I *think* it's a means to make the output capable of driving two...

Starting to feel like ordering PCBs is like a poker game where I'm facing off against a giant, petulant, orange toddler and a weirdo in robes that seems very interested in listening to novel arguments over why black is actually white. All I know is I'm gonna lose money.

Crazy Cat is a G. The good thing about working with stickman is that he's a fuckin n00b that has a good 10 year long career behind him of being wrong as an HVAC mechanic, so every time something goes wrong he assumes he is the one at fault. So, no worries homie. Question....do you have the...

I've updated the files in the dropbox and checked them in JLC. Looks good on my end. Still could use help in confirming the schematic.

I checked my schematic, everything looks like it *should* work. I'm not super keen on switching the barrel jack: the reason being that it's currently configured for center negative, which is what 95% of effects use. It *will* work either way, just the throw of the switch will be reversed. I'd...

Jeeeeeeezus. Ok. Fuck my eyes. That's not a good sign. Ok, I'm gonna go over this thing tonight and scope what the hell is going on.

Well. Shit. Yeah, I gotta re-export those gerbers. Looks to me like the new drill file got mixed in with the old design. Dammit. Now you see the folly of stickman. "Its done, NEXT!" "No, I think I found an erro.." "I SAID NEXT"

A'ite, added an easyEDA import. Hopefully that works. Unfortunately that program makes my laptop huff and puff like it's about to die.

Got the grbls uploaded to the dropbox folder. Fucking thing aint a Dip-8-16, it's a Dip-8-14. Gah. I made some edits to the files as well. I'll see if I can get this in easy EDA format...dunno whats involved with that.

Son of a bitch!! Gah. Yeah, can do. A quick workaround to make it so the existing one work would be to use some bus wire and perfboard. I swear that footprint was part of the kicad stock library. Gah. I'll figure it out' I've got a few MN3005s that I can test against.
