Hey so its been a while since I touched this project but it hasn't been forgotten. A user on this site was very interested in the DT JFET Pre I designed within this project, so I got back to work on it :).

So when I went to get PCBs ready to order I realized that the git commit with the finished board was never pushed. At the time I couldn't find where I put my laptop's backup so the board was essentially lost. I decided to redesign the board in KiCAD, its a little bigger but here it is:

OSHPark Renders:

Bottom:

So after doing a quick redesign I produced gerbers and did a quote with OSHPark to have it made. Around the same time I was ordering some other boards and found out that I had my laptop's backup on a flash drive when shuffling through files. So I decided to order both versions from OSHPark and they arrived today:

Also in this update I have the bill of materials, which are viewable below and available as open document format in the files section of the project page. The BOM:

Its a pretty inexpensive build even including the PCB cost which were around 4 dollars each for a round of three from OSHPark. Now we wait on a digikey order to arrive and we're off to the races, stay tuned for more to come!
