OSKITONE OKAY 2 Synth, Инструкция по сборке

Страница: 13 / 38

● Wire polarity
This kit includes 2 conductor twisted wire, which you’ll
use to connect the various boards together. To ensure
polarities match between connections, a good
convention is to have the lighter wire be positive and
the darker wire negative.
● Resistor and capacitor labeling
Resistors use a color code to denote their value and
ceramic capacitors have a number system. Where
appropriate, the color or number will be noted for your
reference so you can choose the right one.
●
Bypass capacitors
All the ICs use what’s called a bypass or decoupling
capacitor to prevent noise from other parts of the
circuit or even from the power itself from affecting its
IC.
● ICs in sockets
Each IC chip comes with a corresponding socket with
the same number of pins. You will solder the socket to
the PCB, not the chip itself. This prevents overheating
the IC with the soldering iron and makes it easier to
switch a faulty one out.
● Stripping and twisting stranded wire
All wires in this kit are stranded (instead of solid core)
to bend more easily without fatigue. To make inserting
into PCB holes easier, twist the strands together
immediately after stripping off the plastic coating.
