- Screw in the parts in this order: A)
Mini-jacks
B)
Pots and encoder.
-Take off the Teensy and the Codec to be able to solder the points below.
- Ensuring all of the above parts are flush with the panel and both PCB and panel are perfectly parallel. Then you can
finally solder
them!
- Fit the LED on the panel holes and solder them
- Flip the module and make sure that LED display is flat against the window and centered. Proceed to solder it.
- Put the
knobs
on the potentiometers.
- Connect both boards together.
- 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.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Connecting
DIY
devices to your computer USB ports can be tricky as you can fry the ports by plugging malfunctioning
devices.
To avoid this unlikely but unfortunate situation, please follow these two safety rules:
-1 Check if the module works right before updating the firmware. If you are unsure about this,
unplug
the teensy board
from the Noise Plethora, and do the firmware update
with the teensy alone
.
The teensy board comes pre-programmed with this kit, so there is no need to flash it to test the module.
-2
Always
unplug
the module from your Eurorack power supply before connecting the USB.
