to ensure that you don’t damage your Teensy, module, computer, 

or fabric of the universe. 

Getting Started: Connections 

Connecting Your TELEX to Eurorack Power 

The  TELEX  modules  follow  the  “red  stripe  down”  paradigm  of 

power connections. This means that the -12 side of your Eurorack 

cable should be at the bottom of the module. This is marked on 
the silkscreen as “< -12” alongside the vertical Eurorack power 

connector. 

While  the  TELEX  was  designed  with  reverse  power  protection, 

this hasn’t been fully tested out of concern for the safety of rare 

prototypes, Teletype modules, power supplies, and small animals. 

It  is  highly  recommended  that  you  ensure  that  your  power 

connections are oriented properly and fully connected. (If you do 

screw this up, let us all know what happens. In the meantime, we’ll 

be looking for the swirling vortex in the sky.) 

After connecting things to your TELEX, ensure that the 3 layers 

of the module are properly seated. The two boards and Teensy 

should be flat and snug. You will damage your unit if it is not 

properly put together when powered up. That would suck. 

 

Connecting the TELEX to Your Teletype via II 

The II bus consists of two signals (SCL and SDA) and a ground wire. 

Your Teletype shipped with a cable affixed with 2x3 connectors 

and a six-conductor ribbon cable. This works fine – but can be a 

bit of a pain in the rear to wrangle when you have a bunch of 

modules connected to the bus. 

We  have  included  a  three-conductor  jumper  wire  with  your 

module to facilitate their connection to the II bus. You can use 

either method – but there are important considerations you need 

to keep in mind: 

-

 

On the Teletype and Trilogy Modules, the II pins are oriented 

top to bottom (ground on the top).  

-

 

On the TELEX modules and Ansible, these pins are oriented 

bottom to top (ground on the bottom).  

-

 

On  the  TELEX  modules,  two  vertical  columns  of  II  pins  are 

present  and  slightly  separated  (2x3  connectors  won’t  cover 
both columns – they are designed for jumpers). 

Ensure  that  you  are  appropriately  orienting  your  ground  wire 

when connecting the devices together. The rule is “Twist to the 

Teletype or Trilogy” - if you need a mnemonic. 

The diagrams below illustrate where the pins are located on the 

two modules.
