    Wampler KiCad course

    Yeah, I borrowed a footprint from Madbean or somewhere else for those 1/4" jacks on the I/O board. I've been working on a dual gang pot footprint. Basically I duplicated the 3 pins from a your regular pot footprint, moved them 5mm up and renamed them 4-5-6. There was another footprint I was...

    Wampler KiCad course

    @kylewetton I've made two or three. I haven't sent anything off to JLC yet but it passes all of kicads checks. I've been too busy doing etched boards builds from Effects Layouts and making/printing pedal art. Maybe this is the push to try to finish up one of them this afternoon.

    Rats nest connecting to what exactly?

    Filled zones are ground. I'm going to dig around and find that line weight setting for rats nests. This 5k screen makes things hard to see. I've had a lot of issues with KiCAD on this computer. Disappearing footprint/symbol libraries, projects where components go missing from PCBs. I might...

    Rats nest connecting to what exactly?

    What am I not seeing? Working on a PCB layout. Decided I didn't the placement of components so I deleted them all and hit F8 to refresh them and start over. There's something I can't see in there that the rats nest is trying to show me. I did cleanup tracks and vias, remove unused pads, and...

    Wampler KiCad course

    Gonna hijack this. I ran through that course and it cleared up so much for me. I had watched tens of hours of YouTube videos that supposedly covered the basics of KiCAD and was still confused about things. I found a couple of KiCAD pedal videos but the audio was so bad I couldn't make it through...

    Missing Build Docs / Schematics

    I got an ADHD Overdrive for Christmas and before I had a chance to download the build doc it went away. Anyone have one or do I need to wait for the updated doc?

    Pedals for Banjo

    Resurrecting an old post because I'm a new banjo player: how are you getting your banjo into your pedals? Pickup/mic/etc?

    All I'm giving for Christmas is a Mean Green Metal Machine

    I included a spare from my misprint pile at work specifically for that reason.

    All I'm giving for Christmas is a Mean Green Metal Machine

    For whatever reason I decided to solder the pots from the back. I'm slowly remembering being very mad about that solder.

    All I'm giving for Christmas is a Mean Green Metal Machine

    If he can get a sound like that he'll be pumped... All my brain remembers when I see Overkill is the episode of Beavis and Butthead watching the Overkill video with the batskull flying around.

    All I'm giving for Christmas is a Mean Green Metal Machine

    My gift/project was to replace a busted mini Tube Screamer for a meme-teen metal head. What better option than a Fortin modded TS? None more green. Comic Papyrus? Yes. Kermit flail? Absolutely. And he's getting a banjo for christmas? Also yes, but he's getting this first and I'm making him think...

    Stuff you wanted to know but were afraid to ask

    because humans listen with their eyes far too often. I said the other quiet part. Sent from my Zenni Optical bifocals.

    Stuff you wanted to know but were afraid to ask

    I've built a boost (Arrows clone). From zero to about 1:00 it CUTS signal. Is there a convenient way to put unity gain at zero and have a wider range of boost?

    Illuminated 3PDT Symbol/Footprint

    Does anyone have a symbol/footprint for an illuminated 3PDT switch for KiCAD, or know where I can find one? Or where do I insert two pads for anode/cathode? I am but a simple UV printer operator and I'm real new to this. I can't for the life of me figure out where the LED portion inserts into...

    seeking 3PDT symbol for KiCAD

    Mine all disappeared too. Pretty sure they were there when I reinstalled because some other symbols went missing.

    Frequency Interchange Filter - Build Report

    Gotta say this first: not my first rodeo, but my first rodeo that I didn't fall off, get trampled, and throw the bull in the trash. First build that just worked when I put it together. Having a whole ecosystem with power I/O and footswitch PCBs makes things so easy. The hardest part of the whole...
