(*1) Note that 11 of the resistor listed as 1k in the above list (R21 - R30 and R40) are for the LEDs. The values for these resistors depends on the color of LEDs you plan to use and the brightness you wish to achieve. Suggested values:
|**LED color**|**Value**|
|red|220-1k|
|yellow|470-2k|
|green|470-1k|
|blue|1k-4.7k|

(*2) The inverters can be left out when no status LEDs are needed. Leaving them will require soldering some additional bridges which will be described in a section in this document later on.

**Don't forget to order 6 DIP8 and 5 DIP14 IC sockets and pin headers (16 pins total).**

==== Hardware Options ====

The pcb was designed to allow for various options:

=== 1. Different numbers of IOs ===

You can use the jumpers S1-S3 or the EEPROM to select the number of devices the gm5 will run. If you decide to go with less than 5, you do not have to mount all the parts. The list below tells you which parts you can leave out per MIDI port. Notice that if you are not using an EEPROM you have to correctly set the jumpers otherwise the gm5 will not initialize properly.

|**Port # not used**|**Parts to leave out**|
|5|IC7, IC12, LED9, LED10, R16, R18, R19, R20, R29, R30, C7, D5, IN5, OUT5|
|4|IC6, IC11, LED7, LED8, R11, R13, R14, R15, R27, R28, C6, D4, IN4, OUT4|
|3|IC5, IC10, LED6, LED7, R6, R8, R9, R10, R25, R26, C5, D3, IN3, OUT3|
|2|IC4, IC9, LED3, LED4, R1, R3, R4, R5, R23, R24, C4, D2, IN3, OUT3|

=== 2. (Not) using LEDs ===

If you want to use status LEDs, you will have to mount the 74HC14 hex inverters (IC3 - IC7) and the additional circuitry. If you do not want to use LEDs, you can leave out IC3 - IC7 and will have to add some jumper wires as follows. Instead of jumper wires you can easily use a 2-pin header and a jumper. Connect the following pins:

|**Port # without LEDs**|**Wires to add**|
|5|IC7:3 - IC7:2, IC7:10 - IC7:13|
|4|IC6:3 - IC6:2, IC6:10 - IC6:13|
|3|IC5:3 - IC5:2, IC5:10 - IC5:13|
|2|IC4:3 - IC4:2, IC4:10 - IC4:13|
|1|IC3:3 - IC3:2, IC3:10 - IC3:13|

The additional LED circuitry can be left out of course, too:

|**Port # without LEDs**|**Parts to leave out**|
|5|IC7, R29, R30, LED9, LED10|
|4|IC6, R27, R28, LED7, LED8|
|3|IC5, R25, R26, LED5, LED6|
|2|IC4, R23, R24, LED3, LED4|
|1|IC3, R21, R22, LED1, LED2|

==== Soldering info ====

All capacitors (except for the crystal bias caps) have a dual-footprint to allow for using 100mil or 200mil (2.54mm or 5.08mm) spaced capacitors. The image below shows how to mount either one. The first column shows the silkscreen you'll find for capacitors, while the second column shows the mounting position of 100mil (2.54mm) capacitors and the third column shows the mounting position of 200mil (5.08mm) capacitors.

==== FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions ====

==Q: Can I have the .brd or .sch file?==
A: No.

==Q: There are no ground connections. Why?==
A: There is a ground plane on the bottom (blue) layer, which is not visible in the screenshot and .pdf.

==Q: Can I leave out the inverters?==
A: Yes, you can if you do not wish to have status LEDs. If you decide to do so, you will need to add some bridges to the board as described in the "hardware options" section.

==Q: My gm5x5x5 isn't working - LED11 is lit and my computer doesn't recognize the device. What's wrong?==
A: Most likely you forgot to put the jumpers S1 - S3 on the PCB. Put them on there (see jumper table for jumper positions), plug the gm5x5x5 back into the PC. Doesn't work? Check the soldering.

==Q: Can you tell me the positions of the holes and sockets?==
A: Sure. The following list has all the positions of the sockets and the holes. All measurements are in mil (1/1000th inch) and give you the center of component/hole.
