Jacks
The jacks are connected to the PCB via wires. All of the jacks have one ground pin and
one signal pin, which is pretty normal for module jacks. The signal holes are all square.
In the picture to the right, the holes for the jack wires are shown in bold. The ground
pads are all highlighted. If you wish, you can connect the grounds from part to part and
using fewer ground wires to the PCB. If that last sentence was not entirely clear to you,
then use a separate wire from each jack pin to the appropriate hole in the PCB.
Jacks (±)
The jacks are Output, Pitch CV, Decay CV, and Trigger (or gate). They are all 3.5 mm mono jacks. Connect the tip
terminal of the jack to the square hole in the PCB, and the sleeve terminal to the round hole. If you are using ¼"
jacks, the same process applies, just make sure you correctly identify the tip and sleeve terminals on the jacks.
Panel Assembly
Insert the pots (usually mounted on the PCB) through the holes in the panel. Put the pot washers and nuts on and
hand tighten them. Then do the same with the jacks and button. When all the parts are in place, tighten the nuts.
Take care not to scratch the front of your panel.
The last thing to do is to put knobs on the pots.
Finished
Congratulations, your ThunderBell module is ready to make sweet music!
