02. Panel Sides SHAKMAT MODULAR BISHOP’S MISCELLANY V1.1 Front Rear The front of the PCB is the one with the switches, jack connectors and potentiometers on it. The top of the board is the connectors side, the bottom is the switches side. Almost all the components goes to the front of the PCB.
03. Important Note If you feel you're going to build this kit without looking at the steps, just remember this : don't solder the switches without placing them into the front panel first. If you don't want the final PCB & front panel assembly becoming a real pain, do this, seriously.
04_2. Flat Resistors Here's a picture of the PCB with placement of the flat resistors by value. There’s no polarity to observe with resistors, so you can solder them no matter the way. Once soldered, you’ve to cut the excess of the resistor legs with a pair of cutting p!iers.
04_4. Quartz The quartz has to lay flat and fits the shape on the PCB silkscreen. Pack 2/5 16 MHz 04_5. 78L05 Bend the middle leg of the 78L05, then place the component on the PCB, like shown on the silkscreen. Pack 2/5 78L05 04_6.
Jack 04_8. IC Sockets Now, let’s flip the PCB and solder the three IC’s sockets. Be attentive SHAKMAT MODULAR to their orientation. The notch on BISHOP’S MISCELLANY V1.1 the silkscreen (marked in red on the picture) as to match the notch on the socket.
04_9. Power Supply Header Solder only one leg of the header, verify that it’s flush with the PCB & then solder the 9 other legs. Pack 3/5 Header 04_10. Potentiometers Let's go back to the front side. First you'll have to remove a little bit of metal on the potentiometer as shown in the picture.

04_11. Switches First, finger tighten the switches on the panel with their nuts. Then assemble the panel with the PCB while the switches are mounted. Finally solder the legs. 04_12. LEDs Remove the front panel, put the LEDs into place in the PCB. Be very careful to get them the right way around.

SHAKMAT MODULAR BISHOP’S MISCELLANY V1.1 04_13. ICs Plug the IC’s in thieir sockets, make sure their orientations matches the socket orientation. 04_14. Testing Now let's have a visual test : is everything correctly soldered ? Are the diodes orientation right ? Are the IC’s orientation OK ? Is there any...
