Synthex 2.8 Kit Undefined Components Urgent Help Pls (SOLVED

[ayd01]

Hi All,
I m an electronics newbei and I decided to make the MD the easiest way to get a synthex kit. So thanks to this amazing guy "synthex" he sent me the kit. But I can't define 3 objects i took a pic so pls guys pls spare some time to look at this pic i attched to define them for me . A thank you all being a part of this great project god bless you all.

Best Regards

I think the one with the silver ring is the 1mH inductor. The big resistor looks like a 47ohm. The others look to be 100ohm. Take a look at this post HERE specifically the one by Synthex!

Hi jman31
Thnx for the quick response.
I already eliminate the other ones from the same list. And icant decide these 5 component. The upper 3 group is I guess 10k resistor in the list it says "brown black orange gold = 10k" but this one is " brown black (Brown) gold" is it same and lets say "the silver ring is the 1mH inductor" what is the other one.
Thnx again.

in order from top to bottom : 3* 100 ohms, 1* 47 ohms, 1* inductor

Brown black brown is definitely not 10k. It is 100ohm. Have a look at THIS . It will tell you what they are. I would have to see the board to tell you where they go. I beleive that there may be a couple that are your choice depending on how bright you want the LCD, but I could be wrong as I'm not familiar with the 2.8 board.

You'll need the Synthex PDF Manual from here http://www.megadrum.info/content/buy-synthexs-megadrum-kits, and a half decent multimeter will pay for itself in no time at all (make sure the battery is ok though).

ok
3*100ohms upper group ( I m sorry in the list it seems 2* 100 I guess I paniced that when i saw 1 more of them)

the green one at the bottom is inductor

but the blue one at the middle 1*47 ohms Is this one is the one at the List of components named in the Resistors column called 1* 470 or47 1/2 watt (R lcd)

because I have already one 470 ohms, +/-5% in the package

If so I m so sorry synthex you send both 470 and 47 so each can be used i guess.

Am I right???????


Thnx again

Yes, look at the first page of the manual. It says like I said that the 470 ohm and the 47 ohm can be swapped for the lcd brightness. You will use one or the other, try them both and see which you like better.

THank you all and God Bless You All

pheww it was hard for me really iwas frustrated Thank you

Bye

I think Synthex threw that extra 100ohm resister in there to mess with your mind a little. I looked over the schematic and the only 100 ohm resistors I saw were r15 and r22. Good luck with it and don't panic, there's plenty of good people here to help you.
