My new case turned up today, new style with the master module space and interconnects. The cables in the case were preinstalled.
This is a warning ⚠️
Check the case interconnect cables are correct. Mine were installed wrongly. I noticed the red on the case mini pcb connect board and the cable had been installed incorrectly so Red was not at marked Red.
Once changed everything works correctly.

good catch!! I guess, if you miss it, it will just appear to not turn on - i.e. no damage would be done if incorrect (unlike Eurorack!), as the 5V power would be connected to a bus signal, which needs to be 5v tolerant as it can be 5v, (Eurorack's issue is on reversing the 10 pin, will swap +12v and -12v around, and on the 16 pin, connect +12v and +5v directly to ground!) did you let robertlanger know? its an easy mistake, but once you've accidentally done it once, your unlikely to do it again  |

Oops; sorry for the issue! To get it clear, did you mean the shorter bus cables at the left side of the case? If it's not too late, a photo would be helpful what was done wrong, just for my information. Human error... ;-) AE is not yet produced fully-automatic :-) As thetechnobear mentioned, there is no real danger on the AE bus if connected wrong-sided... |

Yes, the shorter bus cables. Can’t show a picture as it’s all sorted and in the new case.
I also had one other problem of my own making which i solved...
Placing the SEQ16 module in the lower “main module” space the pins on the back of the module create a short to the buss rail board.
just a warning if people are thinking of using this space.

I am not sure I like the power on the front of the module.
Plus technically both diy solutions are not the solution.
I’ve had no problems with the master unit fitting with the power at the left side. In-fact the how the new case is design with the power buss “hardwired” the master module can only fit at left side.
The best solution would be to redesign the case hinge.
I would prefer that the power was on the side and a power switch added to the case however I assume it would cost more.

with the hinge design, perhaps move the power inlet to the back, then it would not foul the hinge.
I'll admit, Im not a fan of the DC socket on the front either... and agree a switch is always a good idea, to reduce wear and tear on socket.
