These are instructions/tips for howto construct the hss3f kit.

There are some more helpfull sugestions here also

The blue resistor, is a 470 ohm resistor (is not blue in the kit), but on the silkscreen it says 220.

There is a small jumper on the left next to the lm324

The IR led is a little bit more pink looking then the ultra bright led, and it should be mounted in reverse from what is sugested on the silkscreen (pcb printed text).

The 47uF capacitors have the - in the middle (the white part).

For the 1 uF capacitors it is not important how they are mounted.


i mounted the potentiometers on this side, but they can also be mounted on the other side.

Some jumpers on this side. Use the cut of legs from the mounted resistors to make these jumpers.


extra tips..

Use a multimeter to measure if there are short circuits before plugging in the power.

When the synth is on and you dont hear anything, set the top potentiometer to the middle (the one that is most separated from all the other pots).
