@schematicwizard Ay. Those solder points are visibly joined, so i would assume them to be fine.
Anyhow, your suggestion to use a connection tester should have occurred to myself, thanks very much for the reminder!

Points in question are
- R1+R7
- R15+C102
- D1+C102
- R25+R28
- R30 + R23
- R31+IC5

Ups, more:



yet don't worry about it, if your soldering iron hasen't seen this particular module yet :) Thank you for looking into this in any case!

@lee I am approaching master grade very slowly. That makes sense in order to avoid mistakes, although it took almost 6 hours to solder only the resistors (around 60 now).
Solder points on board are so near to each other unfortunately, that it is impossible to see, if they are meant to merge, or stay separated. Some definately need to merge, others seem so near to each other - but separated - that they might need to stay sperated. Tedious! And no really help there on the Befaco site, as they don't seem to provide images of the boards as they should look like. Hmm. Half a good experience yet. #Befaco #solderKit #Eurorack

Finished, tested, runs! Thank you to @schematicwizard for feedback and the Befaco support was very helpful and quick as well.


Older update
Here's after ten hours of being slow on everything. Befacos's support now cleared a few solder points, all are okay in fact :) The boards are very dense and it isn't always clear, if two solder points almost overlapping are meant to actually make an electrical connection... someone on #Modwiggler said they should change making art on solder boards in favor of clarity of electrical flow - it isn't sooo bad actually.

Years in the #eurorack world… and still no #Befaco module in my rack 😱

I know: shame, shame, shame. But that's finally fixed: I've picked up my first module from the Catalans.

Welcome ATTE! Just hoping I won't cave too quickly to the Oneiroi, or the Iroi, or the InAmp, or...

FYI: #Befaco is selling this DIY kit with missing IC chips and an instruction guide that shows them in place on the board. When you contact them about it they say, "Oh those chips aren't needed anymore. Have a nice day!"

No apologies. Sad. But maybe I can assemble it now?

2nd xmas electronics build, the Befaco VC ADSR.

Have had the board kit for almost 8 years now, bought it when the Befaco guys held a workshop in Tampere (mid-march 2017). Boards got packed away when moving, buried deep in the parts bin. About time to get it done!

And there it is. I probably spent more time figuring out how the jack nuts and LEDs go in, than actually soldering parts. Seems someone forgot to update their build documentation for this specific model.. Breeze to build anyway 🥰

Best bits in the kit - that tool for the jack nuts and the pcb snap-off bits. Latter are great for many #Diy builds, really any use wherever you need both reasonably thin and rigid base material.

A chill start on some xmas holiday electronics builds: A kit of #Befaco / #Divkid Mutes module. Mainboard even has the surface-mount parts readily soldered in.
