2.Main board layout
#ll connections to the STM32F103RCT6 based main board are done according to this diagram5
#ll connections to the Atmega1284 based main board are done according to this diagram5
#ll connectors ha1e pin 1 mar-ed as red.
6hen connecting any cable 7except ower switch8 to the main board pin 1 on the cable must align
with pin 1 of a corresponding connector on the main board.
ower switch can be connected to the main board in either orientation.
3.Controls mini board.

#.Assembling MegaDrum from the Minimal kit
@he Minimal -it contains only a fully soldered and programmed main board. Dou will need to
source all other external components elsewhere and do all the wiring according to the diagrams
shown in the %onnectors pinouts. #fter that the assembling is the same as for the ,asic -it.
