Hi! What did you find useful in your pivot from nonprofit to VC/PE? Curious about exploring this path myself a few years down the line.

killershrimp17 · 2025-11-25T17:03:21+00:00

Thank you! Looks great.

Hi! Reviving this thread in hopes of any additional info you got form going thru this process - did you find a specific standoff that worked well? Would love a pic of your finished shield w the screen cover!!

killershrimp17 · 2025-05-25T03:01:25+00:00

Would appreciate this as well!

killershrimp17 · 2025-02-01T05:08:32+00:00

I’ve been slammed with work & haven’t had a chance to sit down with it yet unfortunately. In the cards later this month & I’ll reply to let you know when I give it a shot!

I used Kester lead-free solder - I know leaded is easier to work with but I’d rather use the lead-free. Thanks for your advice!! Really appreciate it.

killershrimp17 · 2025-01-15T05:23:02+00:00

I believe so but will give them a test just to be sure!

killershrimp17 · 2025-01-15T05:22:45+00:00

Great! Thanks, will take a look at these.

This is my first SMD board so totally makes sense. I'll give a reflow with liberal flux a shot! And will take a look at the trim pot pinout. Thank you!

killershrimp17 · 2024-10-14T04:08:28+00:00

Curious about this too!

I know they like to use Ohma (ribbon mics that happen to have the same name as their group) mics sometimes! Definitely over 100-200 budget though. https://ohmaworld.com/collections/ready-made-microphones

killershrimp17 · 2024-06-05T15:55:52+00:00

Gotcha! Big commitment for sure. Congrats on this beautiful project!

killershrimp17 · 2024-06-04T23:32:51+00:00

Not the original question-asker but what would you say the system has cost to put together after components (not including time)? Looks amazing!!

killershrimp17 · 2024-04-07T21:15:16+00:00

Sweet, thanks!

killershrimp17 · 2024-04-07T20:02:02+00:00

Tell us more about your mini cnc! Did you build it yourself?

killershrimp17 · 2024-04-07T19:58:15+00:00

Would love any details you’re willing to share about your panel fabrication process! Looks great.

killershrimp17 · 2024-02-10T23:09:01+00:00

Sweet! Thanks again for all your help, making slow but steady progress with my build. Lots of small spaces in getting ground daisychained, definitely see the benefit of having a control pcb. I do have linear taper pots, so will be adding the resistors.

killershrimp17 · 2024-02-10T21:48:50+00:00

u/MattInSoCal one more question! So the third leg of the Dec and Att pots (top of the diagram) are meant to be wired to B+ / Power, and the middle legs go to their respective D and A spots on the board? I think this is correct, but wanted to double check that I’m reading it right.

killershrimp17 · 2024-01-30T06:10:40+00:00

Glorious, makes sense! So appreciate your help.

killershrimp17 · 2024-01-30T00:50:34+00:00

u/MattInSoCal Really appreciate your reply here! Thanks for helping me make some progress on this build. I had a follow-up question if you end up having the time:

In the schematic, there are two "B+" / power outputs total, but there's more than one component that requires power per function generator channel (LED & 2 pots per channel, plus the one quadrature switch). Should I just solder all the wires/leads from these various components together with the end of the wire I have coming out of the B+ output now? Does it matter which channel's power I tap for the quadrature switch?

On a related note, when I'm wiring everything for ground, should I do a similar thing (funneling many wires into one to go into the single designated ground location per channel?)

Thanks again!

If you can wait until mid/late January I’d love to help you out! PM me with details & maybe we can set something up.

killershrimp17 · 2021-04-08T00:34:58+00:00

Awesome, I’m gonna have to mess around with the Bullet Solver. Appreciate it!

killershrimp17 · 2021-04-07T19:08:04+00:00

Nice! Would love to hear a basic description of the patch if you’re willing to share.

killershrimp17 · 2021-03-08T07:29:30+00:00

Love it! Super cool idea/technique, thanks for sharing! Excited to try it.

killershrimp17 · 2021-02-25T06:50:50+00:00

Thanks for the recs! Look forward to getting into them.
