About that BusBoard Prototype Systems SB4 board -- they're expensive. They're more than $6 each (Canadian) plus shipping from DigiKey. They're $10 each plus shipping from Mouser.

That's a lot for a hobbyist when you're experimenting, especially if you're making mistakes.

I looked around again recently, and couldn't find anything I liked at a reasonable price point.

So what does one do in this situation? Well, if you go Overkill 9000, you design your own prototyping perfboard and have a bunch manufactured for you! When you design your own, you can give it any features you like. So this one has:

18 x 36 (648 holes total)

It's two 18 x 18 sections, though I didn't have them scored for snapping.

A total of 6 horizontal busses in groups of 2, at the top and bottom plus one in the middle.

3 sets of 2 vertical busses within that space between horizontal bus sets, similarly edge - center - edge.

Then each row has a 6-hole pad on each side of the center 2 busses, which are spaced for IC or other standard 0.4" component layout.

Made of proper FR4 fiberglass. Good copper, good soldermask.

Silkscreened row and column IDs on both the front and back, at both the start and end of each row/column (and they match up with the back...).

And silkscreened boxes on the front showing the pad/buss pattern - no more flipping!

They arrived today and ... they're beautiful.

The boards are the typical green of fiberglass boards, with shiny exposed pads on the underside, and labels for rows and columns silkscreened in white on both sides. There are also silkscreened outlines on the front of the board to indicate the pattern of joined pads on the back.

🔍 First Look at the Bare Liberux Nexx PCBs 🔍

Our redesigned prototypes have arrived completely bare! These are the raw PCBs, fresh from manufacturing, before any components are assembled.

It’s been a long wait, but they’re finally in the hands of our assembler! Now, we’re excited for the next step: having them fully assembled in our hands. 🛠️✨

Stay tuned for more updates as we bring Liberux Nexx to life! 🚀

One of the final modules for my #StackSynth project: the #noise generator. It outputs white, blue, and pink noise and uses a #3904 and a #TL074 with a lot of resistors and a couple of capacitors.
It is based on Moritz Klein's video: youtu.be/0yB_h_wFkh4
I prototyped it on solderless #breadboard and then designed the #PCB in @kicad and let @aislerhq manufacture them again. It turned out quite nice and sounds great.

the prototype on solderless breadboard. it's a bit messy and has lots of resistors scattered around.

the finished board from the top. the components are placed in a neat grid and look very orderly.

Kai, sounds like the sky

Well look at that, splitting everything into individual PCBs paid out. Not only they're simpler to make but it's also cheaper.

My last attempt at panelising everything into one PCB costed me about $80 including assembly. This time around three separate PCBs cost me about $35. That's two keyboards worth of parts, btw if that's not clear

And when i mess things up, I can re-fab only broken PCBs
