I'm currently building the one piece PCB for version 4 and have a number of through PCB holes left (in areas of U5 & 6 and U8 & U2), am I supposed to connect these through the board to the tracks on the backside ?

I've looked through the forums and constructions details but cannot find an answer to this.


Thanks :thumbsup:

I assume you mean Wilba's control surface PCB?


AFAIK it's not necessary to do anything with those - mine works fine.

I agree :thumbsup:

If it isn't mentioned in the build guide, ignore it. FWIW the pads right of U6 are unused DIN inputs, not in the switch matrix. Everything else is either a via (not a pad, vias connect tracks between the layers) or it's a documented header (which you probably don't need).

Thanks for the replies.

I did actually zoom in on your photo of construction Wilba, but it was a bit indistinct to see if the track holes had a through connection.

Time to get back to construction then. Thanks again. :thumbsup:
