I've learned to appreciate several features that Ken puts into cgs pcbs:
(1) Clear labeling of components on the pcb (i.e., not having to associate
codes with particular components);
(2) Several holes for non-electrolytic cap's so that different
physical sizes of cap's fit easily (also applies to several other
components on some pcb's)
(3) Diode spacing the same as resistor spacing (so I can still use my
resistor "gauge" - easier than without the gauge)
(4) Generally, ample number of locations to connect to ground.
Plus, of course, just nifty analog module ideas - thanks, Ken.
[Now: What are those 3 little symbols next to the sample and hold cap's on
the analog shift registor pcb? They look like partially filled
'containers'.]
Anyway, back to more soldering, Jeff
