Title: Question for MAdbean
Post by: Mark_McQ on April 13, 2011, 09:42:04 AM
Regarding the holes on the boards for pot wires, are they laid out to any specific format, or did you just choose a neat spacing between the holes?
I'm basically wondering the holes would be a compatible width for the alpha pots that have the right-angled pcb mount legs. Want to try mounting the board on my next project like that.

In general, if the layout accepts pcb mounted pots that will indicated in the project document, otherwise no. The Aquaboy does. I think there might be one or two others, but I don't recall off the top of my head. A couple of the projects can use 9mm alphas.

There are some upcoming designs that will use pcb mounted pots, though. The new mysterioso and bloviator boards for example. I think one of the hand made boards too. Also, whenever the small dipthonizer comes out it uses two pcb mounted pots, too.
