in, then click the button(s) to see if all the button(s) in working,
and to see if the buzzer can beep when you click the button.
If all fine, you can unplug the USB power, then plug the VFD48
PANEL in the PCB holes, then plug the USB power back to give it
a light up test.
We suggest that you use your hand to push the vfd48 panel a little
bit up to make sure all the VFD panel legs touch the PCB holes,
if all fine, the VFD48 panel can be light up and will start to
display the time, please wait for at least one minute to check
all the segments inside the panel to make sure all can be light
up properly.
Step 12: Solder the VFD48 Panel
When soldering the VFD48 panel, we used to solder the left and
right two legs first, then adjust the high of the legs(by using
the solder) to make sure the panel has the same height at the
both sides. Then you can use sharp scissors to cut all the legs
short and solder all the legs (
Because of the legs are really
close, please be patient and do it carefully
).
After finished assembling the PCB, you can do the test again.
Then you can clean the buzzer and the buttons and panel legs by
using the cotton swab with alcohol (or other things you have).
Notice:
Please do now wash the Buzzer/Buttons by alcohol or will be
damaged!
Please do not wash the VFD48 Panel in the ultrasonic wave cleaner,
may damaged the filament!
If necessary, you can add a small size (like 0.5cm*1.5cm) 3M double
stick foam tape to glue the panel on the PCB.
Step 12: Solder the Extras:
If have IR function, you need to solder a IR receiver on the front
