Hey everyone. Im populating my pork barrel and saw some pads where I cannot figure it out what to do.
They are located:
1. under the IC1
2. between the pads of R10 (I noticed that on the other side of the board this little pad is connected to one pad of the R10. Its supposed to be for a 1/8w?
3. between the pads of C6
thanks for any help.
Cheers

Those are vias; no need to do anything with those pads.

Hmmm! Thanks.
What are there for? For alignment of the 2 sides?

They are there for connecting traces on the top of the board to traces on the bottom of the board.

Cool! Not used to the fabbed boards!

how this connections are made? Is the first time im using a fabbed board. it seems that the holes are tinned inside. is this technique using conductive gel through the holes? :P

Yeah, it's how multi-layer PCBs are made.  It happens all the time on through-hole boards.  The plating on the inside of the hole is required to for conductivity.

The same thing occurs all the time on double-sided boards without vias.  You can route from the top layer to the bottom layer on the plated through-hole component pads as well.

Heheh! Thanks for
The link! I was searching on meanwhile and found diff ways of doing it! The ones ive got from Brian look perfect! Wish i could do this with my etchings at home easily! I love the etching part of the pedal building process! Heheheh
