**I made this Breakout-PCB and Frontpanel for the midiphy LoopA [[https://www.midiphy.com/en/loopa-v2/|midiphy LoopA]]**\\

**PCB Size is 172x24mm**\\
You have to decide if you want Midi Out 3 or the Gate OUT (space thing)\\
The Reset Switch and the SD, Card, are still on the base PCB...\\
If you want use the PCB you dont have place for the stock DIN Sockets!\\

ON this board we have 3 micromatch Connectors, which are crimped fast on a cable\\
On the other side of the cable you have to solder directly to the Base-PCB,\\
be carefull while soldering - and follow the shematic, which is layout for 3.5 Jack Midi Type B!\\

  * Soldering Iron - with a Dip that can Handle Thruhole-Parts, solder Paste...\\
  * The other Parts from the BOM\\

====== Building and BOM======
All necessery Information is printet on the PCB, but also check the Shematic...\\

And there will be some additional Fasting Material, like bolts, Screws, Standoffs, that i dont know right now, because the first protoype has to be built first...\\

====== Frontpanel======

{{:phatline:Frontpanels-Euroloopa.zip?900|}} - NOT TESTET - REVERSE ENGENEERING!!!!!!\\

====== Interconnection to LoopA ======
To most connections are Midi... so before start, take a look at some standards:\\
{{:phatline:Midi-Type-A.jpg?900|}}\\

====== To Do ======
waiting for the PCBs and Panels... since the Panels are reverse - engineered - its praying for good luck!\\

====== Community users working on it ======
  * **[[Phatline]]** =  PCB & Shematic, Documentation...\\

Just let a Private message on the forum to user already involved.\\
