11.Installation Tips(Please be patient install! !):

This DIY installation is more difficult to be installed, please be patient until the
installation is complete.!!!
It is strongly recommended to browse the installation manual before starting
installation!!!
1>.User needs to prepare the welding tool at first.
2>.Please be patient until the installation is complete.
3>.The package is DIY kit.It need finish install by user.
4>.The soldering iron can't touch the components for a long time(1.0 second),
otherwise it will damage the components.
5>.Pay attention to the positive and negative of the components.
6>.Strictly prohibit short circuit.
7>.This DIY installation is more difficult to be installed, please be patient until the
installation is complete!!!
8>.User must install the LED according to the specified rules.Otherwise some
LED will not light.
9>.Install complex components preferentially.
10>.Make sure all components are in right direction and right place.
11>.Check that all of the LED can be illuminated。
12>.It is strongly recommended to read the installation manual before starting
installation!!!

12.Installation Steps(Please be patient install!!!):

1>.Step 1: Install 2pcs 20Pin*2 1.27mm Male Pin and 1pcs 10Pin 1.27mm Male
Pin on Green Main IC Controller Module.Pay attention to the installation
direction.Connect these 2 pads at the same time.
2>.Step 2: Install 2pcs 20Pin*2 1.27mm Female Pin and 1pcs 10Pin 1.27mm
Female Pin on Black PCB.Pay attention to the installation direction.
3>.Step 3: Install 1pcs Green Main IC Controller Module on Female Pin which

the longer pin to right angle.But they bend in different directions and positions.Longer
pin is positive.Please be careful not to damage the LED.
18>.Step 18: Place 8*8 3mm RGB LED on acrylic templates.The shorter pins of
the LED are connected to each other and the longer pins are connected to each other.
19>.Step 19: Fixed all pins. Please align all LED and pay attention to beauty.
20>.Step 20: Test LED by multimeter to make sure every LED can turn ON.If
there is an LED that is not lit, please update the replacement LED.
21>.Step 21: Install and test other 7pcs 8*8 3mm RGB LED dot matrix in the
same method and test.
22>.Step 22: Remove the speaker and Bluetooth module in order to install the
LED to avoid the LED pin damage the speaker.Then install 4pcs Copper pillars and
M3 Screw on PCB.
23>.Step 23: Connect Longer pin to PCB and fix. Pay attention to the LED
placement direction and Keep the LED at the same height.
24>.Step 24: Same method to fix others 7pcs 8*8 LED 3mm RGB LED dot matrix

6

Keep the LED at the same height.

25>.Step 25: Cut 9pcs 9cm metal wire as a fixed bracket for LED.
26>.Step 26: Fix 1pcs 9cm metal wire on the first layer(the Highest layer LED).It
is used to keep the distance of each LED consistent and it can also fix the LED.
27>.Step 27: Fix 1pcs 9cm metal wire on the first layer on other end to where the
negative.
28>.Step 28: Cut off excess pins.
29>.Step 29: Same method to fix other 7pcs 9cm metal wire on others LED
layers.
30>.Step 30: Connect the Highest layer LED(the 1st layer) to Y0 on PCB by white
wire.
31>.Step 31: Same method to connect the 2nd layer to Y1 and so on for Y2~Y7.
32>.Step 32: Install speaker and Bluetooth module again.
33>.Step 33: Test and finish installation and enjoy.
