MIDI THING V1 - ASSEMBLY GUIDE
FRONT PANEL
Attach the
front panel
adjusting the parts one by one if necessary until they fit. At
this point a pair of fine tweezers can be helpful.
To finish:
- Secure the parts to the panel in this order: A)
Mini-jacks
B)
Push button.
- Ensuring all of the above parts are flush with the panel then
you can finally
solder
them!
WARNING:
Do not forget to cut the legs of the push button switch and MIDI connector
legs after soldering as they might touch components on the main board and damage the
module.
- Next, adjust the
LEDs
so that they are flush with the panel and solder them.
- Place the
MIDI connector
through the front of the panel and solder in place. Cut
the legs flat, the power connector might not properly fit once module is assembled.
-
Connect the
main PCB
to the
control PCB
using the pin headers and ensuring the 3mm
hole match the spacer. Screw both boards using the screw.
- Connect the
power ribbon cable
: The red wire (-12V) on the power ribbon cable
corresponds to pin number one on the male power connector. The number one pin is
indicated with a small triangle on the male power connector and a white line on the
main PCB. A white or black line (or “-12v”) marked on your power bus normally
indicates the corresponding pin.
