Assembly instructions are up

you can find them on the sonic potions page http://www.sonic-potions.com/assembly
feedback welcome...

yup, looks good ! Explanations are really good !

MicMicMan

looks very clear to me

surprised by the way the screen is mounted though - wasn't there another way?

Like, exchanging the positions of the midi connectors and the core board?

elhambre

great work! nice explanation

The only way I could think of would have been to make the PCB bigger.
I didn't want to put the display above the mainboard, since the analogue circuitry for the IOs is located on the mainboard. At the moment there is no digital signal running across the analogue IO section and they have a nice undisturbed ground plane.

Very nice. Am I missing something here but couldn't you just solder the MIDI connectors after the display connector?

julian

It is very hard to cut off the legs of the display connector short enough to allow the midi jacks to sit completely flat on the PCB. Add a blob of solder and it is nearly impossible

Bakeneko

A possible solution , Dremel/score/file/cut a channel in the MIDI jacks? You can't damage any connections on the bottom.

julian

yeah, sure. but what is easier?
Dremel components to fit, or just solder the components in another order?

Lindeborg

I was missing something... :-)

Looking forward to it!

Very good explanation for board assembly. The explanation is
divided into steps to understand and execute assembly process properly. Images
plays important role to understand the assembly process.
