DIY INSTRUCTIONS
This document gives detailed instructions that assume you have purchased a
complete kit from www.thonk.co.uk. It also assumes no previous knowledge
of electronics. To learn to solder try
http://youtu.be/I_NU2ruzyc4
and the
Adafruit guide to excellent soldering –
http://bit.ly/1l77tF4
Watch and understand that whole YouTube video! If you're not achieving the
results shown in the video then you need to buy new tools or seek advice.
You will not end up with a working module otherwise.
TOOLS REQUIRED
Soldering iron, snipe nose pliers, wire strippers, small flat head screwdriver
and diagonal cutters AKA snips AKA side-cutters. A Digital Multimeter is
always helpful for checking for bad solder joints and continuity. Thonk sell a
range of inexpensive tools here -

- Page 3 PCBs – this will also have the resistor bags containing the 56K resistors and single 330K resistor. There are some instructions printed on the PCB bag related to the top PCB – we will now follow them. November 30th 2018 www.thonk.co.uk...
- Page 4 Once all seven 56K resistors have been soldered the PCBs should look as pictured. Next we will solder the single 330K resistor onto the front board as shown NOTE! There are two positions for 330K but one should be left empty. November 30th 2018 www.thonk.co.uk...
- Page 5 Now you can go ahead and solder all the rest of the resistors for the top and bottom boards. All resistors from this point onwards should be soldered with exactly the values as shown on the PCB legend It is recommended you do this gradually – one value at a time. November 30th 2018 www.thonk.co.uk...
- Page 6 These are black with a silver stripe NOTE: Take care with the orientation of the silver stripes which should match the thick white lines on the PCB silkscreen. Next solder in the three 100pF capacitors on the bottom board. November 30th 2018 www.thonk.co.uk...
- Page 7 Next solder in the seventeen ceramic 100n capacitors Note! there are two different types of 100n capacitor in this kit. Do not solder a ceramic cap into the position below. DO NOT solder a ceramic cap here November 30th 2018 www.thonk.co.uk...
- Page 8 330n Next identify the 100n and 330n box film capacitors. These are located in the capacitor bag. Now take the 100n red box capacitor and solder it into position Next solder the 330n red box capacitor. November 30th 2018 www.thonk.co.uk...
- Page 9 Next solder 22uF Electrolytic Capacitors NOTE: Orientation is vital on this part. The grey stripe should be positioned as pictured, the longer lead of the component should go into the hole marked + on the PCB. November 30th 2018 www.thonk.co.uk...
- Page 10 NOTE! Orientation matters – be sure to match the curve of the body to the PCB silkscreen. Do not heat this part excessively or you will damage it, you should be aiming to solder quickly and neatly. November 30th 2018 www.thonk.co.uk...
- Page 11 These should be soldered flush and perpendicular to the PCB surface. NOTE! Don’t solder these headers to the other side of the board like the power header you already soldered! November 30th 2018 www.thonk.co.uk...
- Page 12 PCB silkscreen. Now you can carefully place on the front panel and screw the nuts and washers onto Flat Edge the pots, jacks and switch. Flat Edge on NOTE: Read the next step before Silkscreen soldering the LED bar November 30th 2018 www.thonk.co.uk...
- Page 13 IC socket as pictured. For all other chips make sure the notch in the chip is at the side with the notch in the IC socket. DG419 November 30th 2018 www.thonk.co.uk...
