Before any of the hardware can be built, the preparation stpes must be followed.

Next up, comes buying up the hardware. I am buying my stuff from SmashTV's shop.

Firstly, I check the pages on ucapps to figure out what parts are required 

SID

4 core, 3 din, 2 dout, 1 2x20 lcd, banksticks, 38 buttons 99 leds 15 encs 15 knobs 3 vectorboards, 1 ltc, 4 sid 

SEQ

1 Core, 3 din, 1 dout, 2 2x40 lcd, banksticks, 44 buttons 32 leds 17 encs 16 knobs 1 jogwheel 3 vectorboards 

FM

1 core, 1 din, 1 dout, 1 2x40 lcd, banksticks, 24 buttons 34 leds 5 encs 5 knobs 2 vectorboards, 1 opl3

Also it's important to figure out how many ribbon cables and connectors are required. visit the page for each module to check the connections and add them all up. for the above I needed something like this:

6 16 pin Female IDC Connector
78 10 pin Female IDC Connector 
2 6 pin Female SIL
24 2 pin Female SIL

Plus plenty of cable.

I'll need to get my LCD's switches, buttons and knobs locally


Then just place the order on smash's page
