Why don't PedalPCB build docs tell you what trimmers are for?

Back on the original subject - I have no problem with the build docs, but I think a nice addition to the forum would be a “Build Notes” section. One permanent thread for each PCB where we can toss up some quick info for others’ benefit. Something like “hey, couldn’t find part X for this, so I used part Y and it worked great,” or “hey, here’s a mod I did that worked great,” or even “hey, that unlabeled trimmer is a fine tuner for the transmogrifier, I set it to 100 megavolts and now it works great” etc etc.

Fantastic idea, now you’re part of the solution. I love it. There is something like that over at BYOC. That would be a great addition here.

I still think we need an archive of old build docs. Once the new revision comes out for a board the old docs just get removed. I've still got a few pedalpcb boards that have been updated so the current build docs don't match the boards I have.

So many good ideas. @Robert needs an employee ,that gets paid in boards, just to help with these killer ideas.

I wonder... If we added sparkle to the PCB coating would the sparkles interfere with the ground planes? Would we get sparkle conductance?

This one sounds sickly. Best to leave this sort of task up to an able bodied type.
