Schematics missing from the store

[ody]

Hello,

There are a lot of missing schematics in the store. Could someone share the schematics for:
- MicroXLR Output
- Signal Buffer / Inverter
- MicroBlend Crossfader

Thank you so much!

Where did you find it ? Do you know why schematics are not systematically made available?

 

[Nostradoomus]

I used the search function. And PPCB is a one man operation, so you have to allow some grace.

You take the good with the good at PPCB:

There's a million gazillion pcbs, each one representing dozens of hours of tracing, development, and design.

Then, because the ultra-industrious Mr. Robert then procrastinates with the best of them, you can then take this opportunity to learn how the circuit works for yourself as a means to spite the man.

Its a win win.

Working on a few docs today so I'll try to get those posted for you.

Oh I'm going to respond to this later, buddy.

The low tide doc might be a good candidate for the schematic considering how many questions get posted about them (including my own )

As Nostradoomus points out, use the search function, you can often find what you need. Low tide is one of those, and you will definitely want to read the troubleshooting threads in any case. (Maybe that's why Robert doesn't post that particular schematic)

Brain Drain, you've definitely seen this, right?

who needs build docs.. throw parts at it and build it... troubleshoot later! I shggould literally just populate a board with a the wrong values and start a troubleshooting thread just for the fun of it

Yeah I’ve used the search function. I built one a while back that had issues and it ended up being a defective pcb. Broken traces that couldn’t be seen. All fixed and sounds great now. I meant it would be good for other people who will eventually build them seeing as there are so many questions always being asked about it. Just figured the build that gets a ton of questions would probably benefit from having it.

 

[comradehoser]

Yes I remember your thread, as well as your contributions to my low tide thread. II couldn't remember if you were working off the schematic, though

 

[Feral Feline]

The real problem is the hoarders (hoarders like me).

Hoarding parts, Hoarding PCBs, Hoarding schematics...

I don't even remember where I got half the schematics I've hoarded on my hard-drive.

 

[comradehoser]

I don't disagree that supplying the missing schematics for circuits that are chronically problematic is a good idea, though... it might even be positively beneficial.

Low Tide and Acrobat, for example.

I'm not in the US, so when I buy a PCB, I pay for the PCB + shipping + 25% tax on the total price. So, for the price of gold, I want, I demand, the schematic. In other words, I won't buy a circuit without the schematic. If I have to do the work or reverse engineer it, I might as well turn on my brain and Kicad. The point of DIY is to keep control of what you're doing; it's not just a puzzle you buy and put together. In that case, you might as well buy a Boss or EHX.

Coincidence or not, I don't know, the missing schematics are practically all "pedal PCB" circuits. I haven't encountered any problems with circuits other people have made. So I wonder if it's fair to make money from other people's work while not sharing your own.

Have a good day.

They're all just tubescreamers anyways

Not even close.

I'm not gatekeeping buffer schematics over here, there's just a lot more people who have been waiting a lot longer for other things. As boring as it may be, there is no conspiracy.


Buffer/Inverter

MicroXLR



MicroBlend

Wow and Here I am thinking I’m a giant D… how did I miss this.

Great, thanks. All I need now is someone to provide the size of SMD components (R's & capacitors) so I can do some shopping.

Too bad, we all love conspiracies.

Looks like 0805.
