Hey folks,
after a lot of feedback and redesign, I've decided to update the dev panel.
Unless the switch labeling space is required for traces underneath it's very wasteful of HP.
Change the labeling to between the SW and the HDRs. You only need -1 and -2
since the Sw itself is already named on its left.
Mom and
Latching Can be compressed like the ARP 2600 FM -AKA letter inside the extents line --
MOM--
Then the LEDs will fit above the osc out jacks
and you can remove 2-4HP without any loss of utility.
Edit: I also think you've missed your intent by putting the SW HDRS
on the opposite side of them! Away from the patch panel itself!
Every patchcord to those HDRs is going to impede access to the switches themselves. And also require longer patchcords.
I'd put the LEDs innermost with the SW HDRs next to them. <--You're likely to use these together anyways and the LEDs being somewhat obscured by a spaghetti-fest is not going to matter as much as other more tactile elements so obscured. Then the SW's are on the outer most part of the board for best access, yet still relate to the LEDs.
And
all the patchpoints are mid-PCB where they should be!
Edit2: I would also exhange the osc rate pots and their jacks. Keep all the touchables at the board edges. I don't see any HDRs for the osc outs?
If not already there, they need to be and should be innermost.
Edit3: No normals for the jacks? Re-label jacks HDRs as A,2,3,4,B,2,3,4,C,2,3,4D,2,3,4 to the left of the present single strip HDR position to make room for a double wide HDR to include the normals connections.
Add a test point loop for an oscope probe clip to GND.
The gold 2x8 above label Mods 2023 appears to be the Euro power connector on the backside?
Need to add patch-able HDRs for the Gate and CV bus or else why use a 2x8?
5V too! <--These likely need to live below the gold footprint. There's definitely room for a single row just under the present footprint. Possibly a dual row if the gold power input footprint is moved upwards 0.100" 2,54mm.
I guess things move at the speed of thought.
