+====== Build Instructions ======
+This is the documentation page with instructions on how to assemble your Gugusse Compact with the Gugusse 3.1 PCB.  The files you'll need to 3D print and the supporting files for the PCB are located on the [[list_of_materials|List Of Materials]] page.
+===== Turntables =====
+You'll need two Turntables to feed and takeup film.  Detailed build instructions below.

+===== Main Base =====
+The Main Base is the heart of the Gugusse Compact.  Detailed build instructions below.  Also below, is a template to print guidelines for the diffuser filters.  These instructions are to be used with the Gugusse 3.1 PCB.
-This is where the arms sensors will be going on the tensioner:

-This is how deep you should put them in their hole (just about):
+===== Layout Instructions =====
+This document shows how to put the various parts together so you can start using your Gugusse Compact.

-Be sure that no light comes from behind the light sensors, put some opaque tape or opaque glue behind them. The only light they should see should be from the direction of the leds.
+Detailed Layout Instructions: {{ ::gugusse_roller_layout_1_3.pdf |}}
-This is how you should connect them to the board:
+===== Legacy Instructions: =====

-You need to be careful with the polarity of the green leds, if unsure consult this video:
-[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRDgNR_yCms|some video about led polarity]]
-Be careful also to glue your wires in such a way that nothing will get in the way of the swinging arms.

-The strips will have a tendency to dry and get loose over time, you should do small spots of hot glue on various corners, as long as you don't put glue over the leds themselves.

 With a multimeter it's easy to figure out if two of the wires are of the same phase, it's when you can mesure a resistance value between them (at the condition that it is a 4 wires stepper motor. As long as you have the 2 phases connected it's not a big issue if the rotation is inverted as you can change its direction in the file hardwarecfg.json with the obvious setting "invert", one for each of the 3 motors.

-**How to do the layout before gluing the pieces on a plank.**
-The layout does not need to be very precise, use the biggest reel you got to decide where to place the turntables.
-The camera holder is not to be glued, you need to be able to move it around to adjust framing and focus.
-For the other pieces you just need to add small smudges of hot glue on the corners.

-**Using elastics**
-{{:img_20200206_183659.jpg|}}
-Common household elastics are at the very hearth of the Gugusse, to create the tension on the film the two swinging arm are pulled one to another with these. The film tension is directly related to the strength of the elastics themselves, it doesn't need to be much but not enough and the film will have issues advancing while too much and the film will be submitted to too much abrasive friction at the gate, when it won't simply break. Just place elastics to right under the rollers. An elastic varies its tension according to the distance that it is stretched, the distance they will be kept apart at all time is the distance between the 2 arms when they are each at their middle position.
-{{:img_20200206_183400.jpg|}}
-The idea here is just to pull the longboard wheel onto the small motor shaft. A small hook is there just to prevent the elastic to rub on the motor shaft. Again, it doesn't need to be strong, a small pressure suffices.
-{{:img_20200206_183446.jpg|}}
-{{:img_20200206_183550.jpg|}}
-You'll also need an elastic under the wheel, this one is a bit tricky to install, you'll swear against the jester who designed that part.... Sorry... Be patient, you'll get it right.
