Befaco MuDi V1 Assembly Manual

MuDi V1 - ASSEMBLY GUIDE – Rev. Oct. 2024
THANKS FOR CHOOSING ONE OF OUR KITS!
This manual has been written taking into account the common issues that we often find people experience in
our workshops. The order in which the components are placed on the board is meant to make assembly as
easy as possible.
Some steps are not obvious, so even if you're an experienced DIYer please read the steps thoroughly before
starting. You will be soldering both boards at the same time.
If this is your first project, please read this article before you start assembling the kit:

GOOD LUCK!
The components are placed on the main board, split the boards apart and save the control
Board for later.
POWER CONNECTOR
Solder the power connector on the bottom face of the main PCB, ensuring it is facing out from the edge of the PCB. The
small arrow on the connectors must be on the side with the thick white line.
JST Connector
Solder the 1x4 JST connector, on the bottom face of the main PCB, marked as Expansion port.
The line on the silkscreen matches the plastic latch of the connector.
SPACERS
Secure the spacers onto the CONTROL PCB (through the two holes with silver outline) using the M2x5mm screws. Use
provided allen key.
FRONT PANEL COMPONENTS MOUNTING TIPS:
Now we will proceed to mount the jacks, and potentiometers. This part of the assembly is CRITICAL. Please take your time
and read the following instructions carefully.
These components must NOT be soldered until they are placed on the PCB and fully attached to the front panel.
Is very difficult to align the components to the holes if the panel is not positioned prior to soldering. In the case of the
LEDs, they are almost impossible to set to the correct height without reference to the front panel.
MINIJACKS
Place the mini-jacks on the PCB ensuring they are on the side with the silkscreen but don't solder them.
