PCB assembly
General tips
● Soldering
This guide assumes you already know how to solder. If
you don’t, don’t worry! There are plenty of really good
guides online; I recommend the “Adafruit Guide To
Excellent Soldering”.
●
IC chips are static-sensitive
The included IC chips, especially the CD4040, can be
damaged by static electricity. Leave them in their
packaging until ready to install. Before handling,
discharge any static electricity on your body by
touching a large piece of metal
●
Ceramic and electrolytic capacitors
There are two kinds of “caps” used in this kit. Ceramic
capacitors are small, circular, and have no polarity;
they can be placed in either direction. Electrolytic caps
are bigger, cylindrical, and have /- polarities.
● Component naming conventions
For these PCBS, C = capacitor, R = resistor. Headers are
typically labelled what they are.
●
Vertical resistors
To save space, all the resistors stand vertically instead
of lay flat on the PCB
● Capacitor footprints are small
Also to save space, the capacitors all have soldering
holes that are just slightly too close. You’ll have to pull
them through from the PCB’s underside with pliers. I’ll
fix this in future iterations.
●
Component polarities
Some components like LEDs, batteries, and electrolytic
capacitors have positive and negative leads. The PCB
will be labeled where each lead goes, if applicable.
