hardware design of a small expander for the plinky synth
if you want to get some of these made, I recommend the gerbers in the folders gerbersjustfront (the front panels, no SMT assembly required) and gerbersjustback (one sided SMT assembly required, JLCPCB compatible subject to stock) the BOM files for the SMT assembly are in the main folder, and then the hardware BOM file is the set of thruhole parts you will need to order to assemble. in summary: - get black PCB only boards using the gerber zip file in gerbersjustfront - get any-color PCB boards with SMT assembly using gerber zip and placement file in gerbersjustback, and using the BOM in…
