Now it’s time to wire the PCB to the panel hardware. As
there are rather a lot of connections to make, I’ve broken
this down into two section. It’s worth reading both sections
before you start soldering!
Wiring the PCB to the panel hardware – Part I
I recommend Kobiconn sockets (or clone) for this build. The pads are laid out to make assembly easy
if you use Kobiconn (or clone of). You can of course use other socket types.
We are going to wire the ground bus first, then work our was across the PCB from left to right (see
photo).
1.
Ground bus:
using solid core, ground all 6 socket together. The ground bus will enter the
PCB right at the top of the PCB - see photo below, ground pad is on the far left, marked
Gnd
.
2.
CV1:
socket input connects to
CV1
pad, socket normalise connects to
White
pad.
3.
CV2:
socket input connects to
CV2
pad, socket normalise connects to
Pink
pad.
4.
Lag LED:
the LED’s short leg goes through the pad marked
LED
, the LED’s long leg goes
through the pad marked
+12
.
5.
Lag socket:
socket input connects to
Lag
pad, socket normalise connects to
+12
pad.
6.
S/H Out socket:
socket output connects to
S&H
pad.
7.
Rate LED:
the LED’s short leg goes through the pad marked
LED
, the LED’s long leg goes
through the pad marked
+12
.
8.
Clock In socket:
socket input connects to
In
pad, socket normalise connects to
Norm
pad.
9.
White Out socket:
socket output connects to
White
pad.
