Ok! I have some boards ready. I am curious however if those of you interested in them would care to weigh in on something.
So the original PEC tone stack was completely encased in some sort of resin or compound. These new boards do have exposed leads and exposed solder connections. if one of those exposed points shorted to ground the whole circuit would not perform correctly. I think it wouldn't take much effort on the part of the one installing it to prevent this from happening. and certainly less effort that installing each component one by one as I did in the original blog post. but none the less...
I am considering putting a silicone conformal coating on the boards to prevent this from happening.
it would basically seal the components into the module. The coating can be removed of course, but it would act as a barrier.
thoughts?
