Building a Zynthian Box using an official Kit (view source)

And that's all. Your Zynthian Box is almost ready to boot. I recommend that you double-check everything before trying to boot.

===Double-check assembling and wiring===
===Double-check part's assembling and wiring===
It's easy to make a mistake while assembling the parts or connecting the wires. Some errors can be dangerous for the electronic components (short-circuits, some specific bad-wiring combinations) so it's better to be sure that everything is correctly assembled and connected.

===Test the Controllers===
===Test the Controllers===
If you get the Zynthian UI, then you should start by testing that your controllers are working OK:
1. Push the 'SELECT' controller. You should get into the 'Engine Selection' screen. If it doesn't works, try pushing the 'LS' controller. Perhaps you have cross-wired the 3 & 4 controllers and in that case, you have to fix the wiring. If it doesn't work, try pushing the other two controllers and rotating the controllers. If something happens, most probably you have reversed the wiring order when connecting the controllers, or perhaps you have changed some wires while connecting the parts. Double-check the wiring again.
2. Rotate the 'SELECT' controller to select the engine you want to start. The selector must go down when rotating clockwise and go up when rotating counterclockwise. If the rotation sense is reversed, you should check the wiring.
3. Push 'BACK'. You should get into the 'Admin' screen. Push 'BACK' again to return to the 'Engine Selection' screen.
4. Select the ZynAddSubFX engine, select channel #1, bank and instrument. You should get into the 'Instrument Control' screen:
'''CAPTURE NEEDED HERE'''
5. Rotate every control to test that it works and that the rotation sense is correct. If some controller doesn't work correctly, check the wiring again.
6. Push 'LS' to get into the 'Load Snapshot' screen. Push 'LS' again to 'Save Snapshot'. Push 'BACK' to return to the 'Instrument Control' screen.
7. Push 'CH' to jump to the 'Channel List' screen.
If everything works but 'LS' and 'CH' switches, then probably you have some wiring problem in the 2in1 module. Check the wiring again ;-)
