New member - would like help checking design

2002-10-23 by djbrow54

I'm currently waiting for my MOTM modules to arrive.  I need to build an interface for my Arp 3604 CV keyboard and designed and uploaded a 2 wide MOTM style panel.  It's in the DIY Designs, Schematics folder called diy_cvkbd.fpd.  I'd appreciate having someone check it and tell me if it's OK.  Since I don't have a MOTM panel yet I guessed at some of the line spacings.  It's pretty simple, just some 1/8" and 1/4" jacks for CV, Gate, and Trigger and a power connector.  Am also open to any suggestions.

I'm also curious as to how one pays for this, how long it takes, etc.  Also, what's the conversion rate for euros?

Thanks. - Dave

Dave,

It looks good. The jacks are a little farther apart horizontally, and 
closer vertically, than MOTM, but it should work just fine. I only 
state the differences in case those are important to you. But for 
what you have on the panel, it's a good layout. Smart to keep the 
keyboard cv's to the side. 

The Euro is about equal to the dollar last time I checked. When I pay 
for it, you can send me money via Paypal or check or whatever. 
Schaeffer's not the best at communicating lately. I asked a couple 
questions twice now, w/ no response. This isn't atypical for them. 
Orders take anywhere from two weeks to two months in my experience. I 
think they're a small company, w/ all the attached pros and cons 
there.

What are the typical horizontal and vertical spacings for the jacks?  I might want to 'tweak' it a bit.

I'm not 100% sure. It should be the same as Oakley, I guess. But does anyone 
have an MOTM multiple? It seems to me that those jacks must have a larger 
vertical spacing than usual. And horizontally, usually four columns are 
spaced across a 2u panel. Again, it should be the same as any Oakley design. 
You really only have to worry about it if you're a fanatic for matching 
MOTM. I'm not; to me, your panel looks great :)
