Part 4: Making the Lyra Panel face plate

Building the lyra is very different from what I'm used to.

It's a bit like soldering an SMD board with through hole parts.
The pots and switches  are wired to pads, .... not into holes in the PCB as you would usually see if you were building a Eurorack module.

The separation of the synth into a control pcb & the main PCB should make trouble shooting easier. I first started connecting the pots to the PCB with left over resistor wire, but in hindsight, insulated wire would be better. ... less chance of shorts.

Lots of cleaning up to do post soldering.

This is the keyboard.

Connecting the upper and lower boards.

I'm using insulated ribbon cable and making my own headers.

Make nine 12 pin ribbon cables.
and one 5 pin cable (for the in-out board.

 Lot's and lots of wire stripping. :-)

There are 3 boards to connect ... don't forget the in - out board.

This connects in two spots . One to the main  board, and another to the control / pot board.

tHE shields

tIME TO plug everything in

tHE in/out board connects to your DC power source

tHE case is a bit rough ... just some recycled timber.

will need to tidy up after its fully tested.
