Constructors should refer to the Component Overlay along with, the Bill of Materials for the current value of all components, and the General Construction Notes for general PCB assembly guidelines.

  1. Start by preparing your WASP
  2. Place the miniMIDI-WASP PCB in the base of your WASP and mark the 2 mounting points. We recommend the PCB be placed in the back slot of the base of the WASP and positioned centrally between the speaker and panel connections
  3. Drill the fixing holes using a 3.2mm drill (approximately 1/8")
  4. Fit the 2x M3x25mm Spacers using 2x M3x6mm screws
  5. Remove the LINK socket from the WASP front panel and replace it with the 5-pin MIDI-IN socket
  6. If required, the MIDI-THRU socket can replace the 2nd LINK connector

miniMIDI-WASP location

  1. Fit all components to the miniMIDI-WASP PCB paying special attention to the orintation of the crystal X101. The 'dot' on the crystal body should be aligned with the 'dot' on the PCB footprint
  2. Strip, twist and crimp one end of each of the supplied cables and mount in to the crimp housings noting the correct sequence of each wire as per the supplied overlay
  1. Mount the PCB on to the spacers in the WASP
  2. Feed the power wires from J301 to a suitable location on the WASP PCB (we recommend using the large power supply filter capacitor C8 at the top centre edge of the WASP PCB - our picture shows the wires terminated to the capacitor legs on the topside of the PCB but you may need to attch the wires to the underside of the PCB
  3. Feed the MIDI-IN wires from J201 to the MIDI-IN socket
  4. Cut to length and then strip and twist approximately 3mm from the end of each wire
  5. Solder to the MIDI-IN socket following the wiring guide
  6. Repeat for the MIDI-THRU socket if required
  7. Remove the LINK-TRIG wires from the WASP PCB
  8. Feed the wires from J401 to the WASP PCB
  9. Cut to length and then strip and twist approximately 2mm from the end of each wire
  10. Solder to the LINK pads socket following the wiring guide
