DRUMBO PCB v1.4. TESTING - DAY 2 OF 4
MCU, shift registers, LFO, metal oscillators, switching circuitry, mode cv circuitry, noise generator, VCO1 + VCO2, voltage supplies tested and passed!
The testing procedure at this point is hand assembly of two units, verifying everything works as intended before going into production.
Still on track for late next week pre-order run!
Sunday tests start at the trigger input circuitry, trigger force circuitry, and the overdrive. Hopefully more including the envelopes, sample & hold, and the VCF and VCA.

DRUMBO PCB v1.4. FIRMWARE-DAY
The v1.4 PCBs are here, and so far all testing has been succesful.
Today was firmware revision day. The purpose of revising the firmware was matching colours and luminance of RGB leds and the single regular led.
Over the weekend the remaining circuitry will be tested.
Manufacturing of actual units should begin late next week.
