Title: 2019 Prototyping board WIP
Post by: madbean on December 05, 2018, 03:27:47 AM
2019 is going to have lots of new areas for me to work on. Accordingly, a serious prototyping rig is going to be required. Here is step 1 - getting the basic layout worked up. I'd like to go even bigger and include a small 386 amp and speaker but I don't have enough room on my workstation!

Unfortunately, the DSO138 was DOA so I will be returning it in the hopes of getting a working one.

That's a serious arsenal.  :o
Nice voltage selector, too. I found I like to jump around to different projects, so I make the breadboard part swappable - glue them together on a platform and use a bit of velcro. I've found if I'm frustrated with something I'm working on, I'll procrastinate and not get much done. Being able to swap in something else for a changeup keep me working.

Is it based on Kitchen cutting board???

Indeed. All the ones I've ever built were on cutting boards.

Almost done hooking it up. Decided to move all the Arduino stuff to a separate board so this one will be focused on analog pedal design. Scope is working fine. I still may add a little headphone amp for late night/early morning listening.

One thing I really need to do is make a little board with a switch to power on the scope and signal generator. Since I can run 9, 15, 18 and -9v to the breadboard with a rotary switch on the 1590B at the top right, I don't want to accidentally send the wrong power to those and damaged them. So, I may use a separate PSU just for those or use a protection diode and 9.1v Zener.
