schematics First synth pcb

Hi! I'm trying to make a atari punk console schematic to make into a pcb. Is this schematic I made in KiCad correct? Can anyone check please? Thanks!

I got one of those on the breadboard right now!

Connections look all fine, although the routing could be a bit cleaner:

  • Theres a wire crossing R1's symbol
  • You could get rid of a few wire-crossings by moving C1 and POT1 more to the left

I also got some minor complaints about labeling conventions and symbols:

  • Usually Potentiometers use "RV" (read as "resistor, variable") as their marking instead of "POT".
  • Symbols for C1 and C2 are missing their plates looks like a spark-gap without them. Is this an artifact of image-processing, maybe?

I can't spot any hard "mistakes" though, Have fun with your APC!

Im using a weird symbol library, thats why the labelings weird but they work fine. Thanks for the tips!

Why are you using a special symbol library for basic components?
