Now  solder  the  power  connector.  If  you  want  to  use  The  Bumblebee  with  the 
desktop case solder the 2,1mm. If you want to use it on an eurorack system solder 
one of the 2 other connectors. Insert the ICs. Check polarity! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally  we  will  solder  the  leds.  These  are  polarized  components.  The  short  led 
must go where the circle is cutted. First we insert it inside the holes of the front 
panel. Then we insert it through the PCB and solder. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Time to test The Bumblebee! Plug it with a power chord (+@ring, -@tip for the 
2.1mm connector) and check that all its elements are working .
