graphics test
First try at the new graphics for the DFSB pedal. Using the printed waterslide, I added 3 light coats of clear acrylic. After drying overnight, I soaked it in water and applied it to the top side. Time consuming, but it turned out pretty good. Good thing this is only for the protos. Four or five more coats of acrylic and it’ll be good to go.
New Graphics
Used paint.net to create and print the new graphics on the waterslide paper. Took some test runs with plain paper to get the sizing right. Actually turned out better than I expected. Used 300 dpi and adjusted the canvas size to the actual printed area size, not the paper size, to get it right.
Populated pcb
Populated the pcb and ready for testing. Now for just a little software to get the switches up and running. This is a pic of the pcb bottom side.
