6.6 AM1, AM2, PM1 PM2 (4mm neon lamp)
Each neon is separately addressable, and many flashing and
indication modes are implemented – see the configuration setup
later in the manual.
Cut the clear heat shrink tubing into 8 lengths. Our suggestion is
20mm, which puts the top of the neons roughly in line with the
front of the tubes, but you may want to experiment with different
lengths, if you prefer the neons more or less protruding.
Slip the insulation over the neon lamp leads and with a hot air gun,
shrink the tubing:
Finally, solder the neons in place on the PCB. Its easier to solder
one pad of the neon first, then make adjustments to make sure it
is perpendicular, before soldering the second pad.
