- How to assemble and solder the Super Sixteen sequencer module from start to finish! This took me about 4 and a half hours before editing, so give yourself enough time and take frequent breaks! It's a lot of parts and they all require some attention and focus. Happy soldering!

just finished building mine. Super-easy build, good documentation and the interactive BOM is a plus! Wonderfuel sequencer module!
Looks great!! NIce.
Where can I find the BOM? I didn't purchase the BOM kit but it would be nice to see a list of all parts needed or do I just have to go off of silkscreen? I'm excited for build! Nice work.
Hey, the BOM can be found here on Octopart: octopart.com/bom-tool/Wq51xQ3R Should make it easy to find and buy all the parts (just mind the parts near the bottom of the list like the jacks and encoder knob, which aren't stocked at digikey)
@@extralifedisco Thank you!
I usually use a keyed IDC header for the power to help save myself from cooking my modules - is there enough room around the power header pins to fit one?
Yes, good idea! This module has input protection diodes so reverse polarity won't damage it, but there's space for a keyed header. I've made the mistake of putting the keyed headers on backwards before though lol
Extralife haha yep, me too 🤦♀️
I build smd verison and LEDs and Display are superfast blinking (but when i turn on module then while loading display lighting around without blinking). Pots and menu options works nice. What is this? MCP23S17 is need to be programmed?
Hi Konstantin, I replied to your post on mod wiggler: modwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3887673#p3887673
This is a really great project. Is it possible to still buy just the PCBs?
Yes, pcbs and kits are available at synthcube in the US and Thonk in the UK!
@@extralifedisco Thanks! I will check that out
Hey Matthew! 2 questions. Why isn't this video listed? I have to find it by going through the kickstarter updates which is a little annoying while trying to build. Second, how exactly are the pin headers supposed to be oriented? I have them going the right direction so that they attache to the top pcb but which end connects to which board? does the small detachable part of the headers go on the bottom board? Or is it the other way around? I'm about halfway done with the build. I hope to finish it tomorrow and hope it doesn't explode once I plug it into my case haha.
Hey, sorry for the unlisted vid, it's in a playlist on my channel but apparently it didn't auto publish. The pin headers can go either way really but I've been installing the female socket ones on the control PCB.
I believe the project is open source right? Where can I find the source files of eagle/kicad/similar? I've been looking but couldn't find them
Right over here! github.com/matthewcieplak/super-sixteen
for some people it might be easier to do the headers, before the caps. (specifically the headers for the ribbon connector)
Where can you purchase the kit? I don't see links
You can buy kits and modules on my web shop at store.extralifeinstruments.com/ . If you're in the UK, you can get the kits at Thonk or modules at Signal Sounds, or in the EU from Schneidersladen and Exploding Shed.
Hi!
What similar to KS-01Q-01 can i use???
Try the C&K D6 series. D6R40 F2 LFS is the closest match.
@@extralifedisco thank you!
probably worthwhile having IC sockets for the IC's with those electrolytics hanging overtop of them. Otherwise it'll be really hard to replace the IC if something terrible happens.
That's a thought! I don't usually use sockets unless I'm testing stuff (silicon is very reliable these days), but they're never unwelcome. I don't think the caps would be a problem in that event though, as the hot glue is easy to remove and the leads will have plenty of space to bend out of the way.
What's your thinking on putting the headers in before the caps? EDIT: wait, I'm guessing you could just flip the board over and solder it without the hemostat trick that way
@@extralifedisco yup you got it on the ribbon headers (before the caps they look like they'll be the tallest part) the board connector headers are easy because you can use the other board to hold them in place like you did.
the thing i was worried about with the caps, is caps maybe corroding the IC if they blow. Admittedly probably a bit of hand wringing.
also this video is great, much better than most diy kits that just give you a couple pictures at best :P
Soldering components from the TOP side is *NOT* a good idea!! This can cause early thermal breakdown!
It will also look like *CRAP!!!* *ALSO* check components *BEFORE* installing them!!!
I generally prefer to solder from the bottom side as well, but for resistors the thermal shock should be minimal and on 2-sided boards with plated vias the quality should be fine with proper technique and high quality solder. I would certainly avoid the topside method for ICs, capacitors, switches, etc, but it does save a step for the leaded THT components.
