Subject: Noobie needs help! No instructions to be found...

From: "argitoth" <argitoth@...>

I purchased a Full Kit Multiple from Bridechamber and it came with the
panel and enough sockets. I didn't know the full kit wouldn't come
with wire and instructions needed to complete the module! Obviously,
because I'm a noobie, right? This will be the first module I ever put
together. I'm going to assume it's the most simple module possible. I
don't know the first thing about how a socket works. I don't know how
a socket is oriented nor do I know what each metal arm is for.

First thing's first, I need wire. What wire do you recommend? Do you
have a mouser part number for it?

Next thing I need to understand is how the jack is oriented and what
metal arms need to be connected together.

Any kind of documentation for completing a multiple would be very
helpful! I didn't find it at dragonflyvalley.com. Was i not looking
hard enough?

Hint #1 from DragonFlyValley.com -

∗That must be how the jacks are supposed to be oriented!

Hint #2 from DragonFlyValley.com -

∗When oriented like above, the diagonal arm is ground, the horizontal
arm is tip, the vertical arm... no idea! But I know what it's NOT.

PLEASE HELP A NOOBIE :'(
