Just ordered the FX PCB:

Loving this project mate. The displays are awesome...

Just ordered the first iteration of the brain of the S1, I reckon with some small changes (dedicated power supply etc.) this will be ready for production without much hassle.



In two weeks you'll see a vid of the assembled & fully working S1 here!

Just got the FX PCB, however many of the dimensions were slightly off (apparently my calipers are a bit shit) so had to order a new batch straight away




Thing's I had to fix:

- Hole size for the pot's and buttons
- Width of the potentiometers (no idea how this went wrong)
- Placement of the potentiometers (due to the width being wrong, the offset compounded, only the left one was correct)
- Placement of the buttons (placed relative to the pots so ^)
- Connector placement was not ideal
- Right deck holes were fine but moved a tad to the right side
- Board width increased 1mm


Aaaand here is the new one:



Let's hope this one does fit perfectly or at least well enough for testing.

Everything is working!!



Little demo with some explanation: (headphone users beware)

The excitement builds even more. :-p

Found a version of the OLED display that fits perfectly into the S1, would need a couple of small plexiglass parts to make it look polished but looks promising:
