The potentiometers are soldered in the reverse order from how they will be mounted in the case, starting with potentiometer 3.
Cut, splice and tin three pieces of wire. Solder a piece of wire to the positive, wiper and GND pins on the potentiometer.
Cut, splice and tin two more pieces of wire. Solder a piece to the positive pin and the other to the GND pin. These two wires will daisy chain the power and GND connections to the next potentiometer.
- Slide a piece of heat shrink onto the daisy chain GND and power wires before soldering them to potentiometer 2.
- Then, solder the daisy chain GND wire to the GND pin and the power wire to the positive pin.
- Solder a wire to the wiper pin.
- Solder a new piece of wire to the positive pin and another new piece to the GND pin. These will bring power and ground to potentiometer 1.
Slip the two new wires into the heat shrink for the positive and GND pins. Apply heat shrink to all three pins.
- Slide a piece of heat shrink onto the daisy chain GND and power wires before soldering them to potentiometer 1.
- Solder the GND wire to the GND pin and the power wire to the positive pin.
- Solder a wire to the wiper pin.
- Apply heat shrink to all three pins.
Your three potentiometers should look like the photo below with daisy chained power and ground connections between them.
- Solder the power input wire from potentiometer 1 to 3.3V on the Feather (red wire).
- Solder the GND input wire from potentiometer 1 to GND on the Feather (black wire).
- Solder potentiometer 1 wiper pin to Feather pin A1 (green wire).
- Solder potentiometer 2 wiper pin to Feather pin A2 (yellow wire).
- Solder potentiometer 3 wiper pin to Feather pin A3 (white wire).
The PDM mic will connect to the Feather using a STEMMA QT to plug cable. Note that the mic does not plug into the STEMMA port!
Solder the red plug wire from the STEMMA QT cable to the positive line on potentiometer 3. Solder the black plug wire from the STEMMA QT cable to the GND line on potentiometer 3. You can use the round solder pads as a solder point.
