the MKI x ES LABOR debugging add-on
Robal (Polish for “bug”) is an add-on for the Labor which makes circuit debugging a breeze. Four bi-colour LEDs are an instant way to check on the voltage in an arbitrary part of the circuit. For more in-depth analysis you can connect your scope to soldered-in connection points without the risk of messing up the breadboard connections.
The included 16pin and 10pin IDC power connectors let you work with fully assembled eurorack modules even if you don’t have free HP in a nearby case!
In the 16pin version for compatibility and 10pin version for convenience.
Tremendously helps working with external modules and finalizing your own designs.
tip and the ring as wellThe PCB with all surface-mount components already installed. You’ll have to source the through-hole components yourself.
The PCB with all surface-mount components already installed, the through-hole components are provided separately and you’ll need to solder them on yourself.
This is usually the best “bang-for-buck” option.
All components are soldered-in, the PCB has been cleaned and its key parts have been covered with a conformal coating.
This variant is usually the most expensive one and might have some lead time.
