sausage fingers (5) – designing the PCB

Now sausage fingers is pedal-ready let’s design a PCB… …for sausage fingers!

Instagerm

So, the prototype boards for the semi SMT PCBs arrived! Man, I just can’t believe how tiny these things are! Teeny tiny. This is all very exciting. Once these are all checked and sounding good, I’ll be able to put out a hell of a lot more pedals. They should cut build times significantly enough that I can have time to work on fun stuff like music and some of those designs! Ooooh exciting. Fingers crossed!
Unfortunately a customer had to cancel their order for one of the limited run Skitters, so it’s back in the store!
What colour enclosures would yous like to see for the next round of Canny Fettle Boosts?
I do a wee doodle on every bag for every pedal that goes out. I usually post some on @the_social_boar but I just came up with this chap and I wanted everyone to see. I dare say they’re going to be a new regular.
I’m getting there! Just working on the Woozy preorders from the start of January. I have a pretty rigorous few weeks ahead and I’ll be doing my best to catch up and get orders out. Again I thank you all very much for your support and patience. Lots of love to you all!
Just in case you don’t know. I have a separate account for music and art stuff called @the_social_boar I do various musical projects under the name the social boar and I have some art stuff coming under the name team porridge.
