@Gustav Excuse my dumb question, but as it is not "exactly" written on the PCB(and we have a builders discussion here): DIL connector goes on which side ? On the side of the Lorlin or adjacent (like mine on photo) ?
My assumption of placing it like this ? No silkscreen on top for the connector and below we dont have silkscreen on the solder side.

On the boards I had made, the silk screen was there, so thats odd.

It says "mount connector to back" "gap to edge"

I removed the silk screen outline and wrote text to make sure noone just sees the footprint and mount it to the front.

On my way out now, but maybe its visible in the gerber viewer or something?

Its on the PCB very small written. So it is correct as done it.

Quick question In the BOM I see 2 x 50K Lin pot ( Sidechain SUM ) , is that a mistake? I can't find any connections for it

Thank you!

Now just waiting some final bits and pieces before assembling the whole thing.

@Gustav - Can you share the Custom Scale for the "Classic dB Meter" ? Looks great!

Can you show me what you mean?

Gustav

Custom Scale for this meter. Or do you use standard ?

Oh, I thought you were refering to a vintage meter of some sort.

I dont have a custom scale to share, and if you zoom in on the picture of my build, youll see the scale is not at all suitable for this project.

ah okay. so i search thru the archives and will surely find a correct one. Got a hint on how to mount the white LED ? Waiting for answer from Frank (frontpanels.de) but i think either mounting it on top or drill a small fitting hole.
i'll see. wiring & power tests first

I have tried drilling, and various internal mounting methods. I end up breaking a lot of meters, and leaving them more vulnurable, so what I do is.

I just aim the beam appropriately and glue the LED on top of the meter using a glue gun.

@janczmok There is a video on gustav's youtube that kind of shows him doing it actually If I'm not mistaken ( Part 12 of gravity's rainbow)
Very soothing and educating to watch !

 

[janczmok]

yep. see it now. so in the middle facing upfront.
