MBUK Macro Pad Kit

Legacy guide to be updated

Time to start the build. Place the side with the white printed information facing up

Place the 4 diodes in the places marked D1-4. The current version of the kit does not come with a resistor so don't worry about R1, that stays empty

Once the diodes are soldered it's time to place the headers or sockets only (I use sockets.)

NOTE: do not solder the micro controller to the headers as you will not be able to solder the switches in place

Place all your switches in the place. Make sure they are all facing the same direction

Line up the switches with the holes and push them in place, ensuring they are still through the plate

Soldered!

Now the switches are soldered it's time to position the micro controller. Here I am using an elite c. So we use the RAW pin marker to determine which way we are to place this. In my instance it's chip side facing up. If in doubt, ask, though if you socket it then it is far easier to undo a mistake than when using headers
