Schematic

ER-VCO-03 REV 1 Schematic

Software

  • SYNTHVCO03.ino
    • Commented out lines that invert analog inputs for pots (1023-value) to match Rev 1 PCB

Issues

Rev 3

  • Controls card
    • No functional changes
    • SW2, SW4 mount to controls side (silkscreen only change)
    • Re-sequenced reference designators

Rev 2

  • Tested/works very well
    • C1 cap near 2x8 female 2x8 socket is close
    • Need to make sure the if side of the 2x8 comes from cutting down a header that it's trimmed tightly
      • Could install cap after the header
  • Daughtercard (CPU)
    • Change width to 28mm wide
    • Change height to 100mm
    • Move U3 ref des Silkscreen
    • Rotate CPU - USB pointing removes slot intrusion
    • Enough room to route USB connection
      • No more USB jack collision with Eurorack power jack
    • Add Rev 2 marking to Silkscreen
    • Change to 5V Eurorack operation
    • Diode switch USB and Eurorack power
    • Won't power 5V op amps with USB alone
  • Controls card
    • Change width to 28mm wide
    • Change height to 100mm
    • Rotated pots 90 deg so half-way mark is pointing up
    • Some tracks/layers improvements
    • Improved 5V pour - adjusted down to CPU
    • Flipped 5V/GND on adjustment pots so up/down don't need software adjustment

Rev 1

  • Working
    • MODE pushbutton works
    • MOD CV works
    • FREQ 1V/oct CV works
  • Front Panel card
    • WAVE-FORM Pushbutton hole is too small - drilled bigger hole
    • OCTAVE UP/DOWN, MOD UP/DOWN switches holes are too small - drilled bigger holes
  • Controls card
    • MOD and FREQ pots are backwards - easily fixed in software
  • Control/Daughtercards seem aligned to eac other OK, but skewed to Front Panel
    • Make card 28mm?
  • RP2040 hangs over USB side too far (card is wider)
    • Maybe rotate 90 degrees?
  • Put 2 toggle switches onto PCB
