Much appreciated, thanks. I did not show all my fails and errors, because I had no clue, when I started with that hobby. But I guess, that is called learning curve.
Nice, thank you for all the tips. I will try that trick with horizontal and vertical connections on different sides of the board! For my last design I was struggling a bit to find space for the last few connections.
Yeah, go for it. I realized that "designing" module PCBs and front panels (I have no skills in designing the actual schematics) is as much fun for me, as making sounds with the results.
Hello, thanks for the vid! Can you tell me where you got those indented female pin headers?? Is it on mouser ?? It's a pain to cut those non-indented ones to length sometimes + I find it quite ugly sometimes when it's not properly sanded.
I know your pain from experience. Fortunately for me, I have several stores with nearly all of my needs in the city nearby - Tokyo/Akihabara (Electric City). The maker of those headers is Useconn Electronics. I tried to find them online, but could not, sorry. The shop, where I buy them, also sells online. But they are a local shop only in Japan. So I do not think, they sell abroad. Akizukidenshi.com
That‘s EasyEDA, an online design tool. There are many tutorials available. But I found it not too complicated to use. My main problem at the beginning was my lack of electronics knowledge.
The PCBs are ordered from JLCPCB. There I can only order min. 5 pieces. So I can easily build more than just one module. Usually, I do not order more. This is also, where the panels are made. They are just made of the same PCB material. I used the standard fonts and design options for the silk layer. I did not intend any fancy panel layout on purpose to keep it simple. But having all panels in that design makes it look quite nice, I thought. Besides, this makes the panel cheap, between 5 and 10$, depending on the size.
Excellent video and really impressive work!

Yes, I was also often struggling in the end for the PCB design. This way made things so much easier for me.
This really makes me want to go back to module design 😄

Very cool, thank you, i think i will have a go with kicad
Hope to see more build video's in the future.
Rien
Yeah, I heard about kicad. Never tried it.
Some very clever design ideas! Thank you 😃
Thank you. I hope it is helpful.

I have some Eurorack modules. My inner-geek is always curious about the technology beneath the pot.
I suggest checking the channel from Moritz Klein. He explains the circuits of basic modules very well.

wich soft is this?
awesome

Where do you order the PCBs? do you buy bulk or single? Also how do get your flaceplates so pretty?
