Befaco Midi Thing V1 Assembly Manual

MIDI THING V1 - ASSEMBLY GUIDE
THANKS FOR CHOOSING ONE OF OUR KITS!
This assembly guide has been designed taking into account the common issues that we
often find people experience in our workshops. The order in which the components are
placed on the board is meant to make assembly as easy as possible.
Some steps are not obvious, so even if you're an experienced DIYer, please take the
time to read the steps thoroughly before starting.
If this is your first project, please read this article before you start assembling the
kit:

FERRITES

Solder the two ferrite beads by using a recycled resistor leg passed through each
ferrite and proceed as if it were a resistor. Ferrite beads don't have polarity.
The space for the ferrites is a bit tight. You can either leave some slack in the
leads or leave them until after you have fitted the power connector.
