Installing the board

Inside the Meowsic keyboard, there are 2 connectors of which the pins are marked P100 to P105, and P108 to P115. The PCB design has these 2 connectors as well. Simply solder jumper wires from the Meowsic PCB to the corresponding pins on the purrChestrion PCB. You can get +5V and GND from the Meowsic as well. I recommend tapping it from the power switch.

Make sure to measure the pins with a multimeter, so you're not switching around +5V and GND.

Solder a 5-pin female DIN to the MIDI Input and MIDI Output pins. The MIDI input needs pins 4 and 5. MIDI Output needs pins 4, 5 and ground.

All pins are indicated on the board.
