where are the build/assembly instructions for the MS3X?

[911Ducktail]

the little sheet of paper that comes in the package says they are listed here

http://www.msextra.com/manuals/ms3manuals/

I have downloaded every PDF from that site and I dont see the actual board assembly instructions like what I found for the JimStim and the JimStimX

edit: Ive searched the forums and I find references to this link but it takes me back to the main documentation page

http://www.msextra.com/doc/ms3/build_manual.html

MS3X/V3.0 Hardware manual or MS3X/V3.57 Hardware manual depending on your board. These are links on the link you posted. Scroll to the end for the build manual.

can you please link to the actual file and page number?

there are no assembly instructions in this PDF - schematics start on pg 187

http://www.msextra.com/doc/pdf/MS3XV357 ... re-1.4.pdf

and there are no assembly instructions in this PDF

http://www.msextra.com/doc/pdf/Megasqui ... Up-1.4.pdf

Im not looking for how to wire sensors into it. Im looking for the process of soldering each of the components, and in what order/subsytem they are built

like this for the JimStim/JimStimX

thanks


Edit:

on youtube I found a video series of someone building the unit - where did he get the color-coded assembly chart that has all of the component locations? there has to be a link to that document/instructions somewhere??

Don't look at the V3.57 manual because there won't be an assembly instruction since this is not a board you can assemble yourself (and not what you have). You need to look at the V3.0 manual: http://www.msextra.com/doc/pdf/html/MS3 ... 4-208.html

Yeah, if you have a V3.57 board, look at the V3.57 for assembly instructions (http://www.msextra.com/doc/pdf/MS3XV357 ... re-1.4.pdf) that will explain (starting on page 209) the jumper wires, daughterboard install, and MS3x install.

If you have V3.0, go to the link that racingmini linked.

I thought you were just talking about the MS3x card, which is listed in both documents.

[911Ducktail]

thank you guys

this is what I bought

https://www.diyautotune.com/product/meg ... lack-case/

and the Ms3x card and JimStim/X

so I assumed I would be looking for that

Isn't the MS3X only sold already-assembled??? Seriously, you will have a Mainboard (V3.0 or V3.57), and a Daughterboard (MS3), and an Extenderboard (MS3X); three different items. Get clear on what they are, or future questions will be similarly confusing.

The MS3X card needs no assembly, it is a factory assembled board.

I apologize for asking for clarification on the documentation. Should I PM you first from now on?

[billr]

No apology needed. I was just saying that figuring out what you have should be about first on your list for learning about MS. We are here to answer questions and help to the best of our abilities, don't hesitate to ask questions as needed.
