I just got my Zero Point SDX PCB in the mail today and I see that some of the resistors on the silkscreen are sized smaller than others. I was wondering if I can use 1/8 watt resistors there or should they be standup resistors?
Like R55, R42, R43, R46, R47 etc.
Those would be 1/8W resistors. I think the build doc makes note of this.
I used 1/4 watt everywhere with no issues.
Me too 1/4 all of them and everything is fine :)

I'm jumping on the me too train, I don't care for 1/8 resistors myself, they're just too small!

I didn't see anything in the build docs about it.

I know that it wouldn't be an issue to use 1/4w. I just like to have em sit flat.
I like mine to sit flat also. if you use the 1/8w, just be sure to let the first end cool down before you solder the other. I've not had any issues doing it that way...
by the way, if you don't happen to have any 1/8w, send me a list of what you need. I can loan them to you if I have them, and you can send them back when you get ready to place another stock order.

I managed to get the 1/4w flat with a pair of pliers well almost flat there is enough room.

I'm a bit confused by the rotary switch. I ordered the switch from the build docs link and I thought it would only have 4 positions right? It has 12 positions and has me a little confused. Did they send me the wrong part? Or am I missing something I should know?
If you got plastic type of switch there is usually under the screw an pin that makes it 2,3,4... 12 position switch. just keep an eye on that.

Thank you. I just noticed a little washer that controls the throws :)
You are welcome :-)
