VORG BUILD GUIDE Thank you very much for acquiring the Vorg DIY kit. This guide will walk you through the whole assembly process. Before you start we recommend you to read the guide, specially the Notes that some of the steps have.

VORG BUILD GUIDE Disclaimer Remember that by purchasing a DIY kit you are responsible if your build fails. We cannot provide repair services for failed builds. The main reason is that, depending on the extent of the damage, the total cost you’ll end up paying would be higher than buying the assembled module in the first place.

VORG BUILD GUIDE How to use this guide This guide contains one page for each different component you are gonna place. The components are organized starting from the lower values. For example, 1kΩ resistors are placed before the 2kΩ resistors.

VORG BUILD GUIDE This is a good moment to check your board. Use a magnifying glass or a microscope to check that all the IC terminals are soldered and there are no bridges between the pins. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance between +12V and ground and also from ground to -12V.

VORG BUILD GUIDE ASSEMBLING THE FRONT SIDE...
Page 32
VORG BUILD GUIDE To assemble the front side, we recommend you to first place all components then the panel. Once you have everything in place, solder the components.
Page 33
VORG BUILD GUIDE Component: Jacks Value: - Quantity: 4 Notes: Make sure the jacks are correctly placed before soldering.
Page 34
VORG BUILD GUIDE Component: Potentiometers Value: B100kΩ Quantity: 4 Notes: Make sure the potentiometers have crossed completely through the holes and are aligned. Before soldering, check that the potentiometers can be turned without friction with the panel in place.
Page 35
VORG BUILD GUIDE Component: Potentiometers Value: B50kΩ Quantity: 1 Notes: Make sure the potentiometers have crossed completely through the holes and are aligned.

VORG BUILD GUIDE Component: Push Button + Cap Value: - Quantity: 1 Notes: Place the switch cap before the putting the panel for the last time.
Page 37
VORG BUILD GUIDE Component: Red LEDS Value: - Quantity: 2 Notes: The LEDs have a polarity. Make sure the flat side of the LED points to the correct direction. Before soldering, make the LEDs go through the panel. ERROR...

VORG BUILD GUIDE Final Steps One more time, check that you don’t have any bridges between the component pins. Look carefully. All ICs are critical. Make sure that you don’t connect the cable backwards. Connecting it backwards will break the module. Check that the red stripe of your cable has -12 volts with a multimeter.
