I’m in the planning stage of making a clone of the EHX Clockworks. I’m using PCB mounted controls: slide potentiometers, 9mm pots and 1/8 inch jacks. I think the taller caps will interfere with the front panel if I mount the pots on the front of the board, so I’m considering two options:
- Rear mounted panel controls. To mount these on the rear of the PCB, is it just a matter of editing the footprints in KiCAD so they are flipped, making sure the pin numbers are correct?
- Separate board for all panel mount controls. For this I’m guessing I need two schematics, one for each board. Would I just have the panel control connections go to headers (on the schematic) for the interconnection between boards?
