Hi,

As you could see on my member blog, I am porting the schematic of the 260/520ST a.k.a "short ST" into Kicad, and reconstructing the PCB is part of the process (helpfull as a proofreading process).

The reference material is a little bit unaccurate, and unlike the STE, I do not have measurements of the shape of the motherboard, and I have no real board to do the measurement myself. So if some owners of this model could check the measurement, it would help me.

Below are the various measurement I ended up with, using the scan of the PCB from the service manuals. Those are the measurements that I would like to confirm.


Thanks in advance.

I am the worst person in the world for measuring stuff. So take these with a pinch of salt and certainly not gospel :lol:

Thank you. Even if there is some measurement errors, it confirms to me what I have to adjust, and gives me some clues about how much to adjust.

Of course, the more measurements I get, the better my adjustments can be.

After some adjustments here and there, I will go with that :
