Clock Divider v1.0a 

 Assembly Guide 

Thank you for purchasing this module!  This is an average build with some precision integrated 
circuits.  Some of the pads are quite small and you will need a chisel tip or screwdriver tip soldering 
iron and the skill to solder these tiny joints. 
 

 

The module is designed and sized for 

Eurorack

 systems.  You will need a 16-10 pin eurorack power 

ribbon connector with 

12/0/+12 which is connected to a synth power supply. 

Follow the parts lists,  these instructions and the PCB silkscreen text to build the module.  
The module consists of 1 PCB board and a front panel.   
You must follow the order of assembly as described below since some components will be soldered 
underneath other components. 

NOTE: Build options
