We've just published the first version of the build instructions on the website! If there's anything obviously wrong, let us know. We're excited to get these kits in your hands and hear your first-hand experience building them.

Build Instructions

Q-Tune Chromatic Instrument Tuner is the first of its kind in the DIY pedal world - a high-precision tuner with a full 2.8” color LCD, offered as a solder-it-yourself kit in a rugged stopbox enclosure.

Looks good. Page 9 is blank for some reason. Not sure if that was intentional or not.

Nice catch @Audandash – definitely not intentional. Should be good-to-go now!

Probably the most difficult part of the build is working with the very small 1.0mm pitch JST connector that connects from the PCB to the back of the ESP32 & display. Take your time when you get to this step. Notice how the pin holes are more towards the top of the connector at the end of the cable? Line the cable up perfectly and do your best to slide it in straight. Don't ever try to force it and if it doesn't seem right, reset, take a breather, and try again. You'll get it!

I just added these pictures to the build documentation, now updated on the website.

Black is GND on the screen. I always double check that.
