module #005: Thomas Henry VCO-1, Second Build

On stripboard, using the layout i shared with electro-music.com.

I haven't tuned it up yet, there's always a nice high that comes with finishing the last solder joint. Of course, if it doesn't work, that's not the last solder joint after all...

I spent 3 hours working on a stripboard layout for the Thomas Henry 555 VCO, only to have DIYLC crash and lose the work. That's ok, it was starting to look like black MIDI anyway. Stripboard layouts always take multiple attempts to get right.

I'll be splitting my time between working on the 555 VCO stripboard layout, and wiring up another stripboard version of the Yusynth ADSR. The next milestone for me is 3 oscillators and 1 white noise, controlled via MIDI, for a nice follow up to that Super Mario theme video I previously shared.
