VMeter: USB Touch Strip Volume Control

 Out of Stock? We've received a lot of emails asking about out of stock items, and sad to say, but CI is downsizing to a much smaller product offering. All of our guides, schematics and blog entries will stay available forever. Our new project is VMeter--a USB MIDI Controller Touch Strip & Display.

UnDo... not yet, but there is an UnDelete:

It's pretty easy to accidentally delete an entire track, so this is actually very helpful. Unfortunately, there is no general purpose undo that I know about.

Adding Screw Holes:

One of the quirks of KiCad is that you can't just drill a hole, you need to make a one-pad component that has the right sized hole for your screw. The module called "1PIN" is the right size for a 4-40 screw.
