Building How To

New Wiki feature with Build guides for the SmartSpin2k circuitry!

This videos in this Wiki are for the version 1.0. But there's good news! Version 2.0 isn't much different (to build). For the 2.0 build changes, follow all of the wiring, PCB and shifter builds below and then go to the version 2.0 changes page

Check out the link to obtain a PCB from PCBWay and follow the instructions from Anthony in this video.

If you are working on a build without the PCB, check out this video from yours truly with a guide on building without the PCB.

The PCB makes the build much simpler, either way you’re going to want a set of DuPont crimpers with a set of connectors, plenty of low voltage wiring, flux, solder, a soldering iron, and all of the 3D printed parts. A hot glue gun is helpful for a few strengthening sections.

Here is a video detailing how to build the wiring harness for the internal shifter cable.

Follow along on this video to shorten the internal stepper motor cable, and learn how to build your own DuPont style connectors.

In this video you can see the best technique to build up your external shifter buttons.
