Title: My first SMD PCB ... I'm not sure I did my no mojo right ...
Post by: midwayfair on March 18, 2014, 09:38:30 PM
I mean, it sounds pretty good, but something just doesn't seem right about it.

 :o :o Those are the most massive SMD components I've ever seen!! \m/

I always thought SMD parts were............ SMALLER!

Ditto, Jon! I found those component holes to be a bit tight as well...  ::)

I dunno. Looks alright to me.

Did you use the part numbers listed on the BOM?  ;-)

It might have too much mojo for a nomojo!

Hmm, I'll have to double check and get back to you.

You didn't use carbon comp SMT resistors did you?

Now way, glass resistors all the way!*


*Seriously, a dream of mine is to make a pedal with glass resistors, but I can't seem to convince the one guy I know who has some to sell me even a set for a rangemaster at any price.

I still don't know why you never ask me for parts Jon when I am right down the road!!!!

I can get my hands on a bunch of NOS glass resistors! NOW... I don't know what values or how many as I do not have an inventory but... I might be able to get something together for you  8)

Just let me know....  ;)

Oh, the humanity.  This goes against all that is sane and natural. ;)

I'm guessing it is more difficult to place these parts then the SMD parts, yes?

It gets hard to reach after a bit. The real challenge was the transistors. The SMD parts have the pins in a completely inside out place. I had to do Q1 point to point because I couldn't manipulate the pins enough to get them to the right pads.

You should have drilled holes, it's easier to solder on the other side.
