Solder Headers

Install the 12-pin and 16-pin headers onto the bottom of the Feather.

Use a pair of helping hands to assist while soldering.

Solder all of the pins on the Feather.

See the guide below on some tips how to do this.

Install Feather to TFT FeatherWing

Orient the Feather with the socket headers on the TFT FeatherWing.

Press the Feather into the sockets to install it onto the TFT FeatherWing.

Insert the microSD card (with preloaded VGM files) into the microSD card slot on the TFT FeatherWing.

Jumper Wires

Get five colored jumper wires from the pack. Red, black, two yellow, and a blue are suggested.

Prep Jumper Wires

Use wire cutters to remove one of the ends from all five jumper wires.

Use wire strippers to remove a bit of insulation from the cut ends.

Tin the exposed wire with a bit of solder.

Repeat this process for all five wires.

Solder Wires to PCM

Solder the jumper wires to the following pins on the PCM.

• Red wire to VCC on PCM
• Black wireto GND on PCM
• Yellow wireto WSEL on PCM
• Blue wire to DIN on PCM
• 2nd Yellow wire to BCK on PCM

Connect PCM to TFT FeatherWing

Plug in the connectors from the jumper wires to the following pins on the TFT FeatherWing socket headers.

• VCC to 3.3V on TFT FeatherWing
• GND to GND on TFT FeatherWing
• WSEL to A2 on TFT FeatherWing
• DIN to A3 on TFT FeatherWing
• BCK to A1 on TFT FeatherWing

Test Circuit

Connect 5V USB power to the Feather. Connect a pair of headphones (or powered speakers) to the PCM5102.

Ensure the enable switch on the back of the TFT FeatherWing is on the ON position.

Use the on-screen controls to play, pause, forward, etc. to test the circuit.

Secure PCM to Mount

Use 4x M2.5 x 6mm long machine screws to secure the PCM5102 to the PCB mount.

Orient the PCM5102 with the PCB Mount then place it over the four standoffs.

Insert and fasten the M2.5 screws to secure the PCB.

Secure TFT FeatherWing

Use 4x. M3 x 4mm long machine screws to secure the TFT FeatherWing to the TFT Mount.

Orient and place the TFT FeatherWing over the four standoffs.

Insert and fasten the M3 screws to secure the PCB.

Install Slide Switch

Carefully insert and fit the slide switch actuator into the cutout on the TFT Mount.

Press the slide switch the prongs are fitted over the actuator on the enable switch.

Test the switch by sliding it back and forth.

Install Left Side Panel

Place the TFT Mount next to the Left Side Panel and orient them.

Line up the left edge of the TFT Mount with the inset channel on the Left Side Panel.

Firmly press the two parts together to secure them in place.

Install Frame

Place the Frame with the Left Side Panel and orient them correctly.

Line up the left edge of the Frame with the inset channel on the Left Side Panel.

Firmly press the two parts together to secure them in place.

Secure PCM Mount to Side Panel

Insert and fit the PCM Mount into the clips on the Left Side Panel.

The TRS audio jack should line up with the circular cutout on the Frame.

The mounting tab should also line up with the mounting hole on the Left Side Panel.

Insert and fasten an M3 x 8mm long machine screw to secure the PCM Mount to the Left Side Panel.

Secure USB-C Cable

Remove the plastic hex nut from USB-C panel mount extension cable.

Insert the USB-C plug end of the cable through the large hole on the Frame.

Press the USB-C socket end of the cable so it sits flush with the Frame.

Insert the plastic hex nut back onto the USB-C cable and finger tighten to secure to the Frame.

Connect USB-C to Feather

Carefully fit the excess USB-C cable into the enclosure and connect the USB-C plug end to the USB-C port on the Feather.

Install Right Side Panel

Orient the Right Side Panel with the enclosure assembly so the right edges of the TFT mount and Frame are lined up correctly with the inset channel.

Firmly press the Right Side Panel to secure it to the two parts, ensuring all of the edges have been fully inserted into the channel.

Secure PCM Mount to Right Side Panel

Use another M3 x 8mm long machine screw to secure the PCM mount to the Right Side Panel.

Insert and fasten the M3 screw to secure the PCM mount to the Right Side Panel.

Connect Power, Audio and Play

Plug in USB-C 5V power to the USB-C extension cable on the back of the Frame.

Turn the slide switch to the ON position on TFT FeatherWings enable switch.

Connect a pair of headphones or powered speakers to the TRS audio jack on the PCM5102.
