TSNM buchla format - build notes - part 2


 This PCB dates from 2017 ..It's a  Mark 1
There are modern ones using Teensy 4.0 ..... Mk II
which you can still buy.

This is part two on my build notes.
Part 1 is here:










Links

This  Mk I uses the old Teensy 3.2.
....















C22, C23 and IC 6 are not needed if your PSU has +5V



C16 & C21 - are these part of the +5v section of the PCB?
I've soldered c16 in anyway.







C6 --- DNP ??? do not place?













1N5819HW 2 D1, D2 DO-41 schottky rectifiers 511-1N5819











L1 = ??
L2 = ferric bead.
These are connected in parallel ... across either side of the PCB.
Thus I used one ferric beath .. the through hole one. (L1)



Caps : 47uF x 2 


-------------








C17 - 100n (SMD ceramic)?? I think this is not right.
looks like an electro maybe 33uF ??
Is it C21 in the BOM??
-----------------------------------














MPR121 board & headers
It's a Adafruit 12-Key Capacitive Touch Sensor Breakout. This connects to the touch plates of the front panel

Cut the trace on the bottom of Teensy next to VIN pin to separate VIN from VUSB. This prevents 
powering the Teensy simultaneously from USB and the eurorack power supply. 














Teensy 3.2 





The two pots - 10K B ... linear (B103)
Encoder












position  the two displays and LEDs














The lower header is tricky.
I had to do some gentle bending of the ends.

you need to keep enough room for the two matrix displays... the legs aren't long













Bend these headers so you can solder them directly to the front panel












This is a side on view

 to be continued.....
