Hey there!

It's Jordi, I'm the developer of ImageToPCB, not sure if any of you are familiar with the software. Summarizing it allows to convert images to gerber and drill files ready to send to a PCB manufacturer.

Recently a user made a video showing how she combines DIY Layout Creator and ImageToPCB so I thought about posting here as it might be of interest for the community.

I've started to learn EasyEda, and have even placed my first PCB order.

I'm working on a couple other schematics, but I'm having trouble finding the right parts with the right footprints in their library.

Are there are secrets to searching through all the parts?

Hey - I had some time between jobs to kill, and after building several circuits from PedalPCB I've started learning PCB design with KICAD by building open-source versions of classic effect circuits. I'm trying to get one put together a week, focusing on classic drive and fuzz circuits with only minor modifications while breadboarding (with some luck, the pace will slow down again once my day job starts up again). I thought I'd share what I've gotten up to so far in case it's interesting to...

I've built a SPICE model so I can play with clock, bias, and filter circuits for BBD projects. It seems to perform pretty close to a real one, though I have drawn only 8 stages to keep simulation times practical. The biasing and distortion behavior seem pretty close to Panasonic datasheets for 32xx series. Being 8 stages, the delay time is very small, but does visibly change with clock rate as expected. The capacitive load simulates a 3205 (4096 stages), but can be easily adjusted.

If a moderator wants to delete this thread for not being stompbox related then I totally understand.
Could you please let me know your specific reasons though?

So I had a few hours to waste and made a BoM and CPL creator in Excel to automate the file creation proces for SMT fabrication at JLCPCB.
You can export the component list as txt file from Sprint Layout and press convert in the Excel to open a file selection dialog window.

The order of the fields in the export txt is irrelevant as the file will detect them by itself. The only thing you need to take note of is the delimiter (by default a semicolon) and if you want to add the component numbers...

Total newbie here. Never used a PCB layout app in my life. I can read schems, I can build some electronic devices and paint by number DIY pedals. I'm pretty good at soldering and reworking. But I've never delved into PCB layout apps.

Here's my question:

Can PCB layout software/apps now take a schematic and Automatically create a PCB layout from it? If so do free apps do this? Do any do this? Is it possible? I get that there will always be constraints. Like: I/O placement, PCB shape, footprint...

Hi there,

For all you UV enclosure printers out there, I made a small Adobe Illustrator file with all the current Tayda enclosure colors. This way you can check if the enclosure color matches your design. I used the official Pantone codes as I have a trial subscription to Pantone Connect. Hope it helps you and that you enjoy it.

Hi Everyone,

Last week I put together a small application to play around with simple waves and audio.

Features

You can enter frequency, duration, amplitude, and shape to specify a wave. When you hit the add wave button, that wave is saved and added to the sum of all the waves you've specified so far.
The wave (and optionally the individual constituent waves) is plotted along with the frequency content. This sum is written to a wav file and played.

Does anyone have the gaussmarkov eagle library? When I search the internet, I will be redirected to this site: gaussmarkov.net/wordpress/tools/software/eagle/eagle-2-libraries/
But the link is dead.
I hope someone can help me out.

Duncan's TSC has been a fantastic resource for me in terms of designing amps but it is constrained by its roots in Delphi and so is difficult to update with more stacks. I don't know what the simulation engine is TSC but I had been wondering about using a version of Spice coupled to a similar UI and I've created a QT based homage to TSC using ngspice. Spice makes it very easy to create new stack models and play with the parameters and the plots I've got tally well with those of TSC. I've...

Hi all,

I've searched high and low and cannot for the life of me find a footprint for a stomp switch that has the proper oval drill holes to keep the switch correctly aligned. I've seen PCB's done with the correct oval holes so it must be possible. Has anyone got one or any ideas?!
Thanks :)

Thought some of you guys and gals would find this interesting.

I read Gaussmarkov Eagle and LTSpice tutorials were great but the links are dead.

Did anybody saved them or is willing to share a working link ?

Hoping someone can help me out.

TIA

I always avoid smartphones, until recently (there is no much alternatives any more really ;) ), and I love mine. It runs on android, so...

Could you guys recomand me some apps?

What I have now is ElectroDroid and it's awesome. What else I should grab?

Hello!

Does anyone can help me find matching Zonk Machine font? I'm not good at graphic design thb so I'm looking for an easy solution.

I'm looking for the the font used by Boss to write the name of the pedals (e.g. Metal Zone MT-2).

I think it was available at some point on the net under then name Toss but it has disappeared.

Thank you!
