TKB Build Notes - 8 - Wiring the Touch Keyboard Strip

***Click here for the Index of the TKB Build ***

I've cut the ribbon strip to about 60com. You could make it a bit longer to make attachment to the mother board easier.
The 16 individual wires from the ribbon strip need to be separated and cut to different lengths.
(sorry for the out of focus pic).

On the other end we use a female header.
This is a pic of the vintage TKB. - also using the 16 wire ribbon. Construction methods between the old and new are very similar.


Instal the wires connecting the touch board with the 16 red pulse out sockets
In the clone they run under the pot boards.
 Here's how they did it back in the 1970's:

Finally soldering these wires to the touch board.
First, the connections to the pulse outs.
I've propped this up with some books.
