Congratulations on your purchase of a new OneShot chassis! The PC01 OneShot combines a
rugged enclosure, power supply, and discrete instrument DI in a compact 1/4U package. A
few minutes of assembly are all that is required to ensure years of reliable service.
Who Should Build This Kit?
The PC01 is not difficult to assemble, but it is not intended for absolute beginners. If you’ve
never built an electronic project before, this is probably not the one to start with. To guarantee
success, make sure you have:
• The ability to make basic voltage and resistance measurements using a digital
multimeter (DMM).
• At least a rudimentary understanding of voltage, current, and resistance.
• Some experience soldering on printed circuit boards.
• The patience to follow instructions precisely and work carefully.
Essential Tools
Fine tipped 20-30 watt soldering iron w/ cleaning sponge (Hakko 936 or similar)
Eutectic (63/37) rosin core or “no clean” solder (.025” diameter is usually best)
Small needle nose pliers
Small diagonal cutters
Wire stripper
Phillips screwdriver (#1)
3/32” Hex Driver
Highly Recommended Tools
½” Socket
Work Area
Find a clean, stable, well-lit work surface. An anti-static mat is highly recommended for this
project. Good lighting will make assembly much easier.
Soldering Technique
Make sure your iron's tip is tinned properly and keep it clean! The trick to making perfect
solder joints is to heat the joint quickly and thoroughly before applying the solder, and a
properly tinned and clean tip is essential for this. Apply just enough solder to thoroughly
encapsulate the joint,
but don’t use too much
. The finished joint should be smooth and
shiny, not rough or gritty looking.
