Populating the Circuit Board
Step 1:
Add the TL074, LM358, and CD4047 chips. This is a very delicate procedure.
Be sure you line up the pins as exact as you can. Be sure to look very closely at the solder
connections as you go along to be sure there are no contacts shorting against each other.
Installation note: If you decided to add the SMD chips yourself, you will want to pay
attention to the orientation of the chips. The PCB has the orientation indicated; the yellow
outlined pad is pin 1. Look at your chips and there will be an orientation indicator; the
indicator could be a dot, a u-shaped notch, or a solid line running from the first pin to the
last. If there is both a dot and a u-shaped notch, use the u-shaped notch. If you are not
sure, don’t add the chip, head to the forum http://byocelectronics.com/board and make
sure. Once the SMD chips are mounted, they are incredibly difficult to remove.
