Re: VeroRoute - Free layout software for Vero, Perf, & PCBs [link]

The latest version (V2.35) is more flexible in what the parts library allows, and you can now overwrite existing library parts (i.e. update them).
I have also added some support for SOICs to VeroRoute, though those parts are not editable in the component editor.

Re: VeroRoute - Free layout software for Vero, Perf, & PCBs [link]

The minimum Android device resolution is actually 1280x800 (not 1920x1200 as I said in the last post) so it should run on many more Android devices.

Re: VeroRoute - Free layout software for Vero, Perf, & PCBs [link]

I'm in the process of porting VeroRoute to Android. I should have an APK ready for download within a month. It will have all the functionality of the desktop version, but you will need a device with resolution of at least 1920x1200. The way you drive the tool (i.e. specify netlist and paint tracks) ...

Re: Big Muff clipping switch

FYI, you can offset the locations of the pads on that circular switch so they are not on exactly on the grid points. Click on each pad and then use Ctrl + Cursor Keys to move it, and you can use the "Custom" option to give the pads on the switch larger size.

Re: VeroRoute - Free layout software for Vero, Perf, & PCBs [link]

V1.79 is out now and let's you export as either 1-layer PCB (that could still need jumpers), or as 2-layer PCB with all jumpers in the design turned into tracks on the top layer. I will soon extend the current auto-routing algorithm to handle both layers, with the aim of making this the simplest pie...

Re: MXR LFO in an OTA phaser?

One thing to bear in mind is that it won't sweep the same way if you simply convert the control voltage to a control current. When the LFO gives you a triangular control voltage and you use that to make a FET act like a variable resistor, then the effective resistance varies (roughly) linearly on th...

Thanks for pointing those things out. I'll fix them up as part of next release.

Re: EHX - Electric Mistress 18v Version 2 1976

I spent a long time reworking that circuit and fixing all its problems. In particular the noise and volume drop.
Search for "18V Electric Mistress with reworked LFO & VCO" and you'll find all the details on one of the other sites.
