Build guide

not complete yet, but its better than nothing 

BOM:

KIJIMI-BOM-REV1.0.xlsx 

new BOM from July 2019 with improved Sound, i renamed the File because Roman used the same Filename as before which can confuse and ends in mistakes when you open accidentally an older file with same name.

BOM from 23.July 2019

KIJIMI-BOM-REV1.01_DSLMANxlsx.xlsx 

the Difference between first (v1.02) and latest BOM (xxx_DSLmanxlsx.) which improve the sound:

Voicecard:

replace R108 from 10K to 20K

replace R111, R52 from 91K to 20K

replace R38, R97 from 330K to 576K (i used a 560K plus a 20K resistor in series which was measured to 575k (1% resistors)    (only 576K when you want TL064 for IC2 and IC9 otherwise use 330k)

remove R60 , R119 (220R) → not installed 

replace IC2 and IC9 from TL064 to TL074

Don´t miss the frontpanel and case from DIYHUB http://siddarthianinnovations.bigcartel.com/

Display OLED

make sure your OLED folow this pinout  VCC-GND-SCL-SDA, very often shows the shop the correct pinout but deliver another type.

AND short the pins on the display side (where the Frontpanel is) to prevent shorts to the Frontpanel.

if you cant source the correct display  (pin) use restore legs and bend they - use cable shrink tube to protect this for shorts
