Some pics of a new build ... a DIY version of the Mutable links module.
There is no microcontroller in this module so I though its would be a good one to start experimenting on. Before soldering the jacks I pondered which side of the PCB do they go on. ???
A friend assured me this was the correct side, however once the jacks are on, any trouble shooting would be extremely difficult as the components are on the same side.
Anyway, I pressed ahead.
All the SMDs are 0603
There, really is no reason why you can't solder the jacks on the other side....except the panel would be reversed.

take this with a pinch of salt as my module isnt fully working yet, but you don't need to solder in the jacks to test it, you can simply touch the plug tip from your LFO to the point on the board and see if the LED flashes when testing. I am currently trying to fix some solder issues with the first set of in/outs and its an absolute nightmare with the jacks in place!
