As I was taking care of my wife at the hospital, I decided to redesign Forestcaver’s Benjolin v1.6 As I was finishing this, Rob Hordijk passed away and I would like to dedicate this to him. I’m also very grateful to PCBway for supporting the PCB production. The result came in a great quality especially the mate black panel with ENIG finishing.

The board come with several changes, which is:

1206 components instead of 0603 which allows a much friendlier hand soldering

DIP package for SSM2164 as in Indonesia it’s pretty hard to find SMD components

Gorga Graphics for Panel (Panel size is still as eurorack standard so no efficient cost production can be made)

100mm x 78mm circuit board redesign which allows a much cheaper PCB production.

Optionable switch footprints, as the small switch is quite difficult to find in Indonesia

Rearranged the layout a bit so all the knobs is on the right side

Circuit PCB in size of 100 x 78 mm, significantly reduce the cost of printing. PCB printing companies such as PCB way have $5 for 10 pcs offer if the pcb is bellow 100mm sizes.

The panel design is enhanced with #Batak‘s #Gorga (Indonesian tribe from Sumatra) drawings
