KIT Building Instructions
Now we will begin building the kit. There are just a few more important things to know
before we install the first components.
For each component, the word “install” always means the following:
1.
Pick the correct value to start with.
2.
Insert the component into the correct printed circuit board (PCB) location.
3.
Orient the component correctly – especially when there is a right and a wrong
way to solder it in. (i.e. Electrolytic capacitors, diodes, ICs, transistors, etc…)
4.
Solder all connections unless directed otherwise. Ensure enough heat is used to
allow solder to flow for clean, shiny, and completed connections.
Also, please be sure to take us seriously when we say that good soldering is the key to the
proper operation of your circuit!
•
Use a 25W soldering pencil with a clean, sharp tip. DO NOT USE a high power
soldering gun such as those trigger activated units.
•
Use only rosin core solder intended for electronics use
•
Ensure your work area is clean, and has plenty of bright lighting
•
Build your kit in stages, taking breaks to check your work. Be sure to clean the
board periodically with a brush or compressed air to remove any excess wire
cuttings, etc…
