+ | DESIGN SOFTWARE USED: | ||
+ | -------------------- | ||
+ | All free software :)\\ | ||
+ | KiCAD for PCB/ | ||
+ | Sketchup for main panel/ | ||
+ | A Sketchup plugin to export to .svg: http:// | ||
+ | Inkscape for .svg editing: www.inkscape.org/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | MANUFACTURING: | ||
+ | ------------------- | ||
+ | Chassis and front panel are from www.ponoko.com (New Zealand hub). Materials include acrylic: 3mm Black (frosted 1 side), 3mm Clear, 4.5mm Arctic Ice; and 7mm veneered MDF.\\ | ||
+ | PCBs were manufactured at Gold Phoenix. Dimensions and layout were chosen/ | ||

+ | WARNING!!!! | ||
+ | -------------------- | ||
+ | This is a work in progress. Some aspects are (as yet) untested, some contain bugs, and some imperfect. \\ | ||
+ | I have endeavoured to only share files that I have used to get PCBs, panels etc. produced. If this is not the case it will be noted. I do not plan to produce corrected design files unless I need them for myself.\\ | ||
+ | Use of these designs is at your own risk. A list of currently known issues follows: | ||

+ | |||
+ | KNOWN ISSUES / BUILD SUGGESTIONS: | ||
+ | -------------------- | ||
+ | - 5x17.brd contains an error due to a problem in TK's original BLM schematic. I'll be working on a software fix for this, it should be simple.\\ | ||
+ | - blm-full.* are currently untested, except as used in the 5x17.brd. The above schematic error is corrected.\\ | ||
+ | - blm-scalar.* contain an error. Pins I4-I7 are mirrored. This is easily fixed with a connector modification, | ||
+ | - P3-frontpanel.svg has blue (cut) lines around engraving marks for some of the fader scale lines. I have worked around this by filling the holes with paint.\\ | ||
+ | - Good idea to request ponoko to do the engraving on the matte side. My prototyping runs came with the engraving on the glossy side.\\ | ||
+ | - Some sanding is required to get LCD windows and button caps to fit correctly.\\ | ||
+ | - Check LED orientation prior to soldering - it may not match the outline printed on the board.\\ | ||
