Capacitron Guide ENG
What's in the box?
- PCB;
- Screwdriver;
- Coin battery;
- Acrylic casings;
- LEDs;
- Plastic bolts;
- Plastic standoffs.
To get two smaller casings from the kit,
you’ll need to break one large acrylic piece.
But please, be super careful when
doing this to make sure you don’t
damage the parts you need.
After breaking it, you’ll
end up with two separate
pieces of acrylic casings.
Remove the protective foil from both sides of the casings now.
Your casings should be all nice and transparent now.
Now, let’s dive into the
exciting assembly part!
Start by grabbing the casing that looks just like the
one in the photo below and place it onto the PCB.
Make sure the front
side of your Capacitron
looks like in the picture.
Now, let’s move on to the next step – getting casings onto the backside.
But here’s the important part: We need to secure the casings
in place so they don’t fall off. So, slide the bolts onto the
front, and then pop the standoffs onto the back.
Put the bolts on the front and the standoffs in the back.
Next, take the battery and check that the + sign is on facing you.
Turn on your Capacitron, and
you can choose whichever
LEDs you prefer to add.
They’ll alternate
between turning
on and off for a
cool light show.
If you want to fine-tune the LED action, flip the Capacitron over.
You’ll find two potentiometers on the back. Grab a screwdriver
and gently adjust these to control the speed of the LED alternation
– speed it up or slow it down to match your preferences.
We hope you had a blast putting
together your Capacitron and picked
up some new skills along the way.
