ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITOR

There are also two

electrolytic capacitors (10μF)*

These ones

are

polarized!

There is a plus (+)

sign on the PCB that should match the longer lead of the electrolytic capacitor (actually the minus (–)

side is also marked on the body of the capacitor with a white strip).

* IMPORTANT NOTE

: for slow mod solder also the two

47μF caps.

POWER CONNECTOR

Solder the

male pinheader

now. Be careful to solder it straight. You may first solder just one of the

, take the board in your hand and re-heat that pin while pressing down on the header to align it (be

careful, you don’t want to touch the pin you are heating up). Wait for it to cool and solder the rest of

the pins.
