Wood Work

The MKII will feature a wood body design. I've used a 8'x8"x1" piece of poplar to create the neck and body. They have been cut on a band saw and hollowed out with a router. There is still a little more work to be done before it gets a paint job. The rosewood fingerboard should be laser cut this week.

Velocity Sensitive Touch Plate

Each switch features two trigger traces coupled with a ground trace. Comparing trigger contact times between the two traces will allow for velocity derivation.

Button Board PCB Test

The button boards came in and they appear to be working great. I will need to make a few modifications.

1. They need to be wider so that they fit end to end at the same spacing as the pads.
2. New surface mount connectors need to be added for B2B connections.
3. The vias attached to the pad footprint can be smaller.
4. Mounting holes need to be added.
5. Fix boards address switching
