Good one! If I make it into a song it will make the time pass more quickly!

Cool. Hope you haven't made too many in the first batch that have the mistake! Otherwise sanding all of those tiny PCBs is going to be a hassle

Dunno about maczrool, but here that would take abougt 5 seconds per PCB!

Good Luck, maczrool!

For those of you who don't know, the bare PCBs for the knob illumination are available here.

And fantastic they are too! I placed an order as soon as I got the e-mail, and was away at the time. Was going to chase up, as I hadn't received any communication but a payment confirmation, only to get home and find it waiting on my doorstep (in the UK)! Excellent service!

Just need to source the LEDs, the transistor, the resistors, the button LEDs, the transparent buttons...

Do you have the directions for installing all the parts onto the board, the board on Brian's page is a little different then this one. I'm not sure what part goes where and how the Led's should face.

It was designed differently intentionally, not to make things difficult for anyone, but to avoid any conflicts with the copyright holders (Brian?) of the original design. No instructions yet. Hopefully we will get them up relatively soon. Until then, try this:

R1- 10K Ohm resistor
R2-R5 - 100 Ohm resistor
Q1- MMBT3906 PNP transistor
D1-D4- SMD White LEDs, notched half of the LED towards the pad with the "bar" in the silkscreen
PWR- +5 volts on Empeg
GND- Ground
SGL- Control signal for board. Brian gets it from the left lead of the top button LED of the illumination set up.

Hope this helps,
Stu

For the LED do you mean the notch of the LED goes toward the arrow pointing on each pad.

The notched end goes to the pad with the bar (or where the arrow points to)

The symbol looks somewhat like this

and the notched end should be to the right in this pic

Looking at the image on his web page (hope you dont object to me borrowing it here)



the 2 lower LEDs should have the notches oriented "up", and the top 2 LEDs the notch oriented "down".

Yes, exactly. Here is a slightly clearer image than available on the website. The notched side of each LED should be situated over the pads marked blue in the image.
