BLUETOOTH SPEAKER kit instructions Of note, there are two versions of the Bluetooth speaker (as we’ve changed out parts and suppliers) Check your parts and follow version 1 or 2 instructions.
Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.1 Version 1 Kit Includes: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) Laser Cut Box 2 Speakers LiPo Battery Amplifier Board Bluetooth Adapter (f) (g) (h) (i) USB Charging Module Micro USB Cable Switch Wires/Heat Shrink (b) (a) (c) Getting Started 1) Check your parts list. 2) Read through the instructions. 3) Gather your tools. 4) Glue parts to frame 5) Solder solder components. 6) Charge battery.
Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.1 Start by gluing each speaker (b) to the frame. You will only need a little glue along the edge of each speaker. We provide super glue, but you can use a hot glue gun inside as well. Insert the On/Off switch into the cutout that fits. If you need glue, apply a small amount on edge, but be careful not to freeze the switch permanently in one position.
Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.1 Be sure to snug micro USB port as close to edge as possible – if set too deep it will be difficult to plug in micro USB cable for charging. Start Soldering Solder two red wires to each switch pin. You can cover the pins with heat shrink to protect the circuits from each other.
Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.1 Solder 1 red wire coming from the switch to a red LiPo battery wire. Cover these wires with heat shrink. Twist together 3 black wires. Solder these wires to the black battery wires.
Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.1 Glue box side with switch to box side with charging module. The Micro USB port should line up with the small cut out. Solder red wire from switch that is on the same side as the red battery wire to the Charging module labeled BAT+. Solder 1 black wire from battery to the Charging module labeled BAT-. Note: slide heat shrink on battery wire before soldering so you can shrink over joint.
Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.1 Insert audio cable into jack on bluetooth adapter (green). Cut the audio cable to expose 3 wires (red, blue, yellow) which you will solder to the red amplifier board. Solder 1 red switch wire (from other pin) to the bluetooth adapter as shown.
Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.1 Solder a 2nd black wire from the battery to the bluetooth adapter as shown. Solder the wires from the audio cable to the amplifier.
Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.1 Solder remaining red switch wire and remaining black battery wire to the amplifier board. GND: black wire +5: red wire Solder 1 blue and 1 white wire to each of the speaker terminals. Positive and Negative terminals just need to be consistent with your colors and the location on the amplifier.
Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.1 Solder the speaker wires to amplifier as outlined.
Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.1 Now that your circuit is complete, test that it works (turn it on) and that it will pair with your playing device. If you hear some static, check your solder connections and charge your battery. Charging Battery Once everything is working, gently stuff into the box.
Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.2 Getting Started Version 2 Kit Includes: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) Laser Cut Box* 2 Speakers LiPo Battery Bluetooth Adapter Battery charger (f) (g) (h) (i) 5V Booster Micro USB Cable Switch Wires (a) (b) (f) (c) (e) (i) (h) (d) *Box comes in wood or acrylic versions. Note, the acrylic is covered in a protective paper you need to remove. (g) 1) Check your parts list. 2) Read through the instructions. 3) Gather your tools.
Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.2 Secure Components Insert the On/Off switch into the cutout that fits. If you need glue, apply a small amount on edge, but be careful not to freeze the switch permanently in one position. Start by gluing each speaker (b) to the frame. You will only need a little glue along the edge of each speaker. You can use super glue or a hot glue gun. V.
Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.2 Be sure to snug micro USB port as close to edge as possible – if set too deep it will be difficult to plug in micro USB cable for charging. Start Connecting Wires Strip wires so they can be easily twisted together and secured to components. Eventually, solder all wire connections.
Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.2 Twist 1 of the available red wires to the red battery wire and 1 of the available black wires to the black battery wire. Attach the twisted battery wires to the battery charging module. Black wires connect to the BAT- terminal, Red wires connect to the BAT+ terminal.
Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.2 Attach Red wire from the battery module to one Switch terminal. Attach a 2nd Red wire to the open Switch terminal. The switch should already be inserted into the box. Attach the free Red wire from the switch to the IN+ terminal of the Booster. Attached 1 Black wire from the battery module to the IN- terminal of the Booster.
Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.2 Attach a Red wire to the 5V terminal on the Booster. Attach a Black wire to the GND terminal on the Booster. Attach the Red and Black wires from the Booster to the Bluetooth board. Black wire to the GND terminal, Red wire to the +5V terminal.
Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.2 Attach the JST cable to the Bluetooth board. The 4 JST wires will connect to the speakers. Attach the JST cable wires to the Speakers. Positive and Negative are not critical on these speakers.
Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.2 Test your connection by turning on the switch. You will see the Booster and the Bluetooth boards light up.
Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.2 Now that your circuit is complete, test that it works (turn it on) and that it will pair with your playing device. If you hear some static, check your solder connections and charge your battery. Charging Battery Once everything is working, gently stuff into the box.
