  • Page 2: Principle Of Operation

    OrganDonor uses analog switches to simulate keyboard presses directly. Normally this would require to solder two wires for each key. Luckily this can often be avoided by grouping common signals. OrganDonor features solder jumpers to connect common signals on the back of each analog switch board.

    Power connection Attach the mainboard to the heatsink of the powersupply using the 4 self-adhesive plastic standoffs. You might want to cut the standoffs a little bit so they won`t protrude the heatsink. Figure 5: Main Board placement Solder the wires to the power supply board as shown in Figure 6. The yellow wire gets soldered to the white wires (-15V), the black wire to the black wires (GND) and the red wire to the red wires (+15V).
