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

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

2009-02-24 by 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 -
http://www.dragonflyalley.com/images/MOTM485/485-12-jacks1A.jpg
*That must be how the jacks are supposed to be oriented!

Hint #2 from DragonFlyValley.com - 
http://www.dragonflyalley.com/images/MOTM300/300-31-syncInOut4B.jpg
*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 :'(

They say a picture is worth a thousand words -

Just pulled this out to take this picture. You should be able to figure out all you need to know about wiring this one from this. You don't need to use the same wiring pattern I did - do it however you want. The important thing is that the switching lug (the middle one) is only used on the jacks with the arrows pointing to them.

Wire - anything will do. Get a bunch of 22 gauge multistrand hook up wire from radio shack - it'll do. I'm not sure what the stuff I used was - it was cheap from a local electronics store.

Jeff, I wanted a multiples kit and it doesn't seem like Synthtech 
sells a multiples kit. If ever I have another question about a non-
Synthtech product, I will definitely make more effort to respect the 
purpose of this Yahoo group. I just thought a multiple was the 
exception because it's just interconnected sockets.

Stephen Drake, thank you so much! Two more questions:

1. Is the yellow wire is going to ground? Purple going to tip?
2. Do you have a source for purchasing wire?

Actually, I'm so noobie that I don't even know how a multiple is 
supposed to work. I'm confused. What is the INPUT and what is the 
OUTPUT?

Hey John, yeah same thing happened to me till I figured out what the
problem was. You have to be sending an e-mail or a response to
motm@yahoogroups.com NOT an individual's e-mail. Check where you're
sending your responses to. When you hit "reply" it automatically
chooses that individual. You have to change the "TO".

Thanks for your help!

I successfully completed the my firs module!.. not without making
every mistake in the book though, it took me way longer than it should
have and it's kinda messy., but I'm glad I won't make the same
mistakes on my other modules.

Thanks but I don't think that's it. I know about the weirdness of this
forums reply actions. I had even sent a message directly from the Yahoo main
page for this forum, nothing is showing up. (I was the first to mention
Keith Emerson's daggers for holding down keys but . . .nothing . . ;-)

I had the same problem a week ago... three messages were filtered out during the module discussions. I wonder if the groups are spam filtering us out. I've noticed that Yahoo's spam filters are making a lot of mistakes in my personal email lately.
cheers,

Thanks for confirming that, Eric. Nice to know it wasn't that my posts were
too dumb or I smelled funny and got banned or something! ;-)
