I’m looking for the paper circuit for 5 star brain and swoopspokes. I found the files as .osm in the paper zip folder. Is there a way to export this file so that I can print it on a paper cirucit?

The .osm files are for use in a program called Osmond PCB, which is a Mac only program.

You can print from Osmond, but you’ll need to print two different layers to make a paper circuit.
You can also export to Gerbers to have PCBs made. See upthread for instructions on how to do this.

lmao i didnt see fourses in his hand at first lolol

@idkei The reason you are not finding those as normal paper circuits is due to their size.
I could whip them up for ya, but I was working on the 5-star just a minute ago and you would have to have A4 size paper… (210mm x 297mm) - it overhangs on 8.5x11 :frowning:

A4 is totally fine with me. living in the part of the world where A4 is standard. :wink:
Thanks! Do you also have swoop stokes and rando as paper?

I do not have time to do swoop spokes and rando right now - but here is 5 star on A4

It is in a printable pdf format.

The Lines on the top side are jumpers.

I had removed the [0 ] jumpers when I made them as pcb’s as I just ran the jumpers on the bottom copper. - but added em back in as Lines for this paper.

great! many many thanks!!
I was wondering if you transfer them from osmond pcb or did you draw it out yourself?

all of my conversions are hand placed in KiCAD, and all traces are hand routed :smiley:
I unfortunately do not have a Mac, and am pretty dumb when it comes to virtual machines, that being said, I kinda want a Mac someday just to use Osmond lol.

I created a silkscreen and footprint library with all the ciat related stuff and create footprints for the weird shit

One cool feature in KiCAD - and this can be done with any circuit - but works especially well with paper circuits - you can export the Layers (Traces, Silk, Mask, etc) as SVG files and work with them in say, Inkscape -
This is how I pulled the traces and silkscreen from my 5-Star Brain PCB’s that I made last month -
:smiley:

I’m new to making pcbs. I’m just soldering by numbers and symbols! :sweat_smile:

But much thanks anyway for sharing!!
I’m planning to build myself a paper modular system. really glad that I found CL stuff on paper and the stuff you shared!

Here is another video with @crucFX 's Roolzr. It is the brain of this serge patch. https://youtu.be/qAe1XMzp9_w

Yes, this looks correct to me.

rolls and spikering are a match made in heaven and the two best paper circuits IMO

still jonesing for a PB but its a hard choice between PB or Pulsar 23

I used their contact form about a month ago and thought they hadn’t replied, so I contacted them through Instagram and they gave me a direct email to use. They were quite quick with responses that way. A week later I happened to check my junk email folder and their response from their contact form was there and they had responded the day after I had filled it out.

I did check the junk folder actually but nothing there, also sent a message on IG but so far nothing…think I’ll wait for a couple of week and see…Not too impressed with the service I have to say

This good - what do the inputs / pots on the SR?

first of two gerassic organ is working, thanx for helping me figure things out along the way :slight_smile: just have to put the circuits inside the frame i have built and put the pots in the holes and solder the buttons on and stuff, the top is pictured here
