Pathways
DIY kit building guide
The Pathways DIY Kit includes all the components needed to build a full unit:
1x PCB (pre-populated with all the smt components)
1x faceplate
1x enclosure
9x hex spacers
18x m3 screws
1x 1N4001 diode
1x LM7805
2x LT1054 IC
1x DC connector
24x LEDs
28x 1/8" jacks + nuts
8x trimmer potentiometers
16x potentiometers + nuts
16x knobs
8x 1/4" audio jacks
Start by placing and soldering all the components that are on the front of the board:
LT1054 ICs
LM7805 voltage regulator
1N4001 diode
Cut the legs of the diode and solder them across pin 3 and 6 of both the LT1054 ICs on the back of the board
Place the 8 1/4" audio jacks and the DC jack on the front of the board and solder them
On the back of the board place all the 1/8" jacks and once checked that they all are in position solder them
Same goes with the potentiometers: put them in place like in the picture (see the difference between the two types of potentiometers) and solder them to the PCB
Put the LEDs in place (the short leg goes in the square shaped hole) but do not solder them yet!
Put the front panel in place, put on all the jack and potentiometers nuts and tighten them. Push the LEDs through their respective holes in the front panel, once everything is in place you can solder them and trim away the extra LED legs.
Now put in place the top part of the enclosure where the audio jacks are
Fix all the brass spacers as in picture
Almost there! Put in place the remaining parts of the enclosure as in picture, once everything is in place put on the back panel and tighten the remaining 9 screws.
Done!
