General Builds Tips; Wiring - PARASIT STUDIO Sentient Machine Build Document

• Solder the low profile components first, from short to tall
height. Recommended order: resistors, diodes, IC socket, film-
caps, electrolytics, pots and switches
• CMOS chips are very sensitive to static charges and can be
easily damaged. It's a good idea to wear a anti-static
wristband or at least avoid wearing a wool jumper and petting
your cat/dog while building...
• Always use sockets for IC chips and transistors to avoid
heating them directly. It also makes it much easier to swap
them out if needed.
• Pay special attention to the orientation of the diodes and
electrolytics.
• This PCB's is designed for 16mm Alpha PCB mounted angeled
pots. You could also use solder lug type and just tack some
"legs" with short pieces of wire to each pot to mimic a PCB
mount type.
• The pots and the switch are meant to be mounted on the
bottom (solder side) of the board, and soldered on the top
(component side).
• The square pad represents pin 1 of each pot.
