Building it 

 

Well, because of the circuit is module based and not very 

complicated, all you need to do is get all the components in the 

right position and make sure no short before you plug the power 

in. We will show the soldering steps blow. 

 

Preparing 

1. Please print out the PCB installation diagram by yourself, 

the Circuit diagram is no need for soldering job, print it or 

not depends on you(Note: May only have the paper circuit diagram 

in the KIT with no digital version provide.); 

 

2. Check all the components in the kit bag, make sure nothing 

is missing (You can do this on a A4 white copy paper); 

 

3. We recommend using a soldering station and small soldering 

tip for soldering this kit (we use F2 or CF2 type tip). If you 

have a hot air gun(or Hot air blower station) tool for soldering, 

that will be great. We recommend using ~180

  type soldering tin 

for this job. Please do not use the high temperature soldering 

tin in this project, you may damage a lot of SMD components or 

the PCB; 

 

Step 1: USB Power In and MCU part 

Solder the [

USB Power In

] part first; This part contains a USB 

socket and a 1206 size RESETTABLE fuse. 

 

For soldering the USB socket, we recommend solder the 5 middle
