BLEEP DRUM
The
v001 (board 012 code 003)
Thank you for your purchase, fellow noise-maker!
Here are the tools you'll need to assemble the Bleep Drum:
- Soldering iron
Pen type, 35W max with a good tip. Like this. See
will also need something to deal with soldering
- Solder
20 gauge (.032") is good for most kits. Large solder should be avoided. Most compo-
nents we use are RoHS. Lead-free solder isn't necessary but is recommended.
- Cutters
Diagonal
or flush.
- Small pliers
Something like these.
- Screwdrivers
Large and
mini
All Bleep Labs kits can be completed by those who are new to soldering, but it is very important
that you know how to solder safely before you start. This includes working in a well-ventilated
area and wearing safety glasses.
Children should never solder alone and should never handle anything that might contain lead.
If you are new to soldering or need a refresher, check out

- Page 3 The first components to go in are the three capacitors. Insert them into the three dashed circles from the bottom with the short legs in the holes marked with a “ - “ Flatten the leads on the board..then clip off the excess. Cut the legs so they are just on the outside of the pads.
- Page 4 Solder the three capacitors in. If you aren’t yet comfortable with soldering, take a minute to looks at our soldering guides Sparkfun Bleep Labs. The DIP sockets go in next. The chips go into these at the end. The two 14 pin DIPs go in the space marked “328”.
- Page 5 Install the large colored buttons in their places and flatten their pins just as you did with the DIPs. The small buttons go in just the same. Be careful not to have your finger on the op- posite side of their holes when you push them through! Flatten the pins just like before.
- Page 6 Bend the resistors and insert them into the board in the five places marked “R1” Bend and clip the leads as before. The black 78l05 and tan resonator go in as shown here. Bend and clip their leads. The last components to go in on the top are the potentiometers.
- Page 7 Soldering Before you begin, make sure that all of the components are in the correct places and that none of the leads are touching. One you’re done, clip off the pots’ pins. If you get some unsightly brown dots and want to get rid of them, wait 15-30 minutes for them to dry.

- Page 10 Now for the bottom panel. Insert nuts into each of the holes on the plastic panel. 15 continued Put a long screw through a corner hole of the board. Put two nuts on it as shown. 15 continued Turn the screw through the nut in the plastic plane until it is flush with the nut.
- Page 11 15 continued Use your pliers to tighten the two nuts. One to the bottom panel and one to the PCB. 15 continued Stick the clear bumpers on top of the nuts. Screw the knobs onto the pots so that the tiny screw is against the flat side of the shaft.
