DOBOZ - Touch Sensing Note Memory - Buchla format 4U --- part 1

These are my build notes for the DOBOZ TSNM module
 I like the compact format.
Its a sequencer +
 
Here are some pics of the raw PCBs
 


There are two versions of this module .
One uses a teensy 3.2, and a second uses a teensy 4.0
i bought this board many years ago when teensy's 3.2 were plentiful.
I recently received a NOS 3.2, so thought I'd finish this build.


My board is from 2017. rev 1.0

MPR121 breakout board.

"The trickiest part may be the DAC8560 (IC2), it’s a VSSOP-8 device. 
This is hand soldered
 

Use lots of flux , a fine soldering tip and fine solder.
... and a steady hand

Resistors..


Some of the resistors need to have 0.1% tolerance
