CV Thing v1 - ASSEMBLY GUIDE rev. Aug 2021
THANKS FOR CHOOSING ONE OF OUR KITS!
This manual has been written taking into account the common issues that we often find people
experience in our
workshops. The order in which the components are placed on the board is meant to make
assembly as easy as possible.
Some steps are not obvious, so even if you're an experienced DIYer please read the steps
thoroughly before starting.
If this is your first project, please read this article before you start assembling the kit:
You will be soldering both boards at the same time. Keeping them in the panel together, until
stated to split them, might help you through the build. Check last pages of the Build for PCB
pics to help you identify components.

RESISTORS
It’s strongly recommended to measure the resistors with a multimeter. Color code might be
hard to read with blue background.

FERRITES
Solder the two ferrite beads by using a recycled diode leg passed through each ferrite and
proceed as if it were a resistor. Ferrite beads don't have polarity.
