Bill of Materials. I've noted the DK part numbers for some of the items. You might want to open in Excel
SOIC and SOT23 both seem to work alike.
Yesssss!


Thank you so much, Jack! Great work!

OK, looks like this batch is all spoken for. Will start invoicing tomorrow. Note, if you ordered a whole bunch you're only gonna get one set in the spirit of fairness.
Thanks Jack for this incredible service you are providing the community. Being one of the 'greedy boyz' I asked for 2 sets. In light of the limited supply and in the spirit of spreading the wealth I'd like to amend my request to just one set for the LSK389B devices, the SOIC-8 boards.

you might be happier with LSK389A --
Exciting! Still considering how I will implement these. Thinking of using a salas Ultrabib in same box, with a couple AC wallwarts. Only a third of the size of my existing Pearl, no external PSU, and keeps the trafo at a distance. Decisions 🙂
Thanks Jack!
Thanks Jack!
always minimize loop area.
i will get some pix of mine in "cookie tins" sold on Ebay -- these are very mild and easily drilled steel boxes which further reduce magnetic "mains" influence.
I used acrylic film caps -- wouldn't recommend these if you have to solder SMT by hand. The MLCC C0G are very low THD and easily incorporated, just search by size at DK or Mouser. I invested in a Whizzoo reflow oven kit and use it almost every day.

I was thinking about this route too. Boards are small enough that nesting them in additional containers could still be space efficient. Look forward to seeing your examples.

Could you post a photo or a link of those boxes? Thanks

This morning some new 5k Potentiometers arrived from DK: SM-42TW502CT -- not inexpensive ($3.17) but 11 turns which should allow finer "zero adjustment" on the drain. The 5 turn variety is SM-43TW502CT.
Hi Jack, Do you anticipate another order or will you post the gerbers? I have built a couple Pearl IIs and really like them so this is a logical follow on project.
Thanks.

Found on Digikey. Thanks Jack!

Something like this?
Rectangular box
Coloured Box
I have sent out most of the boards, will wait to see who doesn't pay to knock them off the list and provide for others.
Yes, I will post the gerbers, or I can send them as a zipped file.
