Snap the module into place

IMG_0139_result

Add the screw to the location hole

IMG_0141_result

Tighten the screw down just snug. Don't risk overtightening it and damaging the threads

IMG_0146_result

Insert the second module and screw.

Take your time here, it's gonna be awkward,

You are going to be turning in that screw for what seems like for ever...

...maybe kick back with your favourite music track and come back here when you're finished.

IMG_0153_result

IMG_0154_result

You should now be looking at two secure modules. 

IMG_0155_result

Onto the next bit.....

Fourby_brand_logo

Wiring the Modules:

First we will prepare the cable.

Your Fourby USBs' come with an automotive grade 2 core thinwall cable

Grab your ruler and measure out  20CM (200mm) of cable. Be as accurate as you can if you want a nice tidy job, we've done the maths so you dont have to...

IMG_0156_result

IMG_0157_result

IMG_0158_result

We need to strip back 20mm of the black outer sheath from each end of the wire.

(Be careful here to only strip the outer sheathing and not to damage the inner cores or their insulation)

Take your time to do it right...

IMG_0161_result

IMG_0165_result

IMG_0166_result

Next we'll strip the insulation back on each of the cores.

Measure 5mm and strip back the insulation on all of the cores at each end.

IMG_0167_result

IMG_0172_result

Pinch the core and twist all the copper strands together

IMG_0176_result

Twist all 4 ends

IMG_0177_result

You have prepared the cable... Nice one.

On to the next bit.....

Fourby_brand_logo

Next we'll put the wire we just prepared into the USB terminals

Look for this little block

IMG_0181_result

Start with the module the furthest away from the block

IMG_0182_result

Wire the module, observing the polarity:

Red wire next to the jack plug hole

Black wire onto the second terminal.

IMG_0184_result

Lock down the wires into the terminals using your screwdriver.

IMG_0186_result

Pay attention to the details in the next bit...

Pinch the wire as shown below and put a 180degree twist in it

IMG_0187_result

it should twist once like this

IMG_0188_result

Grip at the twist and pull the wire straight 

IMG_0189_result

IMG_0190_result

Wire in the terminals on the other module to create this nice loop

Red wire next to the jack plug hole

Black wire onto the second terminal.

IMG_0184_result

IMG_0195_result

Hold the unit like this with your thumb

IMG_0196_result

IMG_0197_result

Grab the cable at the middle of the loop with the other hand

IMG_0198_result

Fold it down and tuck it under your thumb

IMG_0200_result

Now roll the cable into position just inside the unit and press into place into the retainiers

 

IMG_0201_result

IMG_0202_result

Good Job! 

IMG_0204_result

IMG_0205_result

IMG_0206_result

Well done

Onto the next bit...

Fourby_brand_logo

Next we will wire the main power feed.

Using the same rules as before, strip the wire back

20mm of sheath

5mm of core insulation.

IMG_0161_result

IMG_0167_result

 

IMG_0220_result

This time we look for the module closest to the little block

IMG_0181_result

and wire the cable in tandem with the other 

IMG_0230_result

Make sure you get the wires in the correct terminals

Red to Red 

Black to Black

IMG_0236_result

Fold the cable over the back of the module and into the strain relief block

IMG_0239_result

Add the cable tie and nip it up.

IMG_0249_result

Cut the tail off the cable tie

IMG_0256_result

Well done, you have completed the build of your USB Sockets

Its Haribo Time..!
