Building a Zynthian Box using an official Kit v2 (view source)

=Connecting everything=
The new Zynthian Kit 2 is designed to use JST connectors, so connecting everything is really straight-forward:
* Connect the Main Ribbon Bus cable to the RBPi's 40-pin header and also to the All-In-One module

[[File:IMG_1474.JPG|600px]]
* Connect the 4 double JST cables to the 4 controller connectors on the All-In-One module (CTRL1, CTRL2, CTRL3, CTRL4)

* Connect the 2 JST cables from the MIDI connectors to the MIDI-IN and the MIDI-OUT/THRU connectors on the All-In-One module. Note that currently only 2 connectors are available in the official aluminum case, so you have to choose what do you prefer: MIDI-OUT or MIDI-THRU ;-)

At this point, your Zynthian Box should look something like this:

* Connect the 4 x Controller Modules following the right numbering: from top to bottom and from left to right.

* Connect the Jack connector to the auxiliar audio-out connector on the HifiBerry soundcard. It's the 3-pin JST connector that you soldered before:

===Connect the Display===
===Connect the Display===
And finally, connect the ribbon's 26-pin connector to the Display's male side connector.
And finally, connect the ribbon's 26-pin connector to the Display's male side connector. Put attention to the orientation. The red wire should be the pin 1 that as marked in the display's PCB surface.
