CHAPTER #4
Some more soldering...
You’ve passed the worst part. Just a couple of components more and we’re done… this will
be a piece of cake
Step 13
–
solder the second 10k ohm
resistor
This resistor is important for connecting the
microcontroller to the serial UART programmer board.
It’s labeled R3 and the color code goes
brown, black,
black, red, brown.
Step 14
–
female 6-pin angle header
Locate this black female connector. It
’s soldered to the
place labeled “JP2, serial programmer”. The serial UART
programmer board is connected to this port. Make sure to
turn it the right way.
Pro tip: If the component is falling out of the PCB when
you try to solder it, place your cutting pliers’ handle
underneath the component you’re soldering.
