Parasit Studio
General builds tips
•
Solder the low profile components first, from short to tall.
Recommended order: resistors, diodes, IC socket, film-caps,
electrolytics, pots.
•
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 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 is designed for board mounted angeled pots, but if you
want to use regular solderlug-pots, the square holes represents pin
1 of the pot.
•
Cover the backside of the pots with pot covers or tape, so they
don't short out anything on the PCB.
