ASSEMBLY OF THE PCB
4.1 Diodes
D1-D4
Start by bending the leads of the four diodes to approximately
match the spacing of the holes on the PCB. Insert the four diodes
taking care to match up the white bands on the components with
the component marking on the PCB. See Figure 2 below.
Figure 2
Solder in the diodes, then using the wire clippers trim off the leads.
4.2
IC1, IC2
Align the flat on IC1 with the marked flat on the PCB. IC2 must be
oriented correctly. The notch or dot at one end corresponds to pin
1. This goes into the SQUARE pad. Solder both components in and
trim the leads of IC1.
