4.4 R20 – R25 (15

KΩ or 10KΩ)

R26 – R29 (390 KΩ)
C12, C13 (100nF)

You can solder the top pads if its easier – the holes are plated
through, so it does not matter if you solder the top pads or the
bottom pads. Don’t solder top AND bottom, there is no need. As
with all the components, after soldering clip the excess leads off.

4.5 AM1, AM2, PM1, PM2 (4 mm 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 acording to the tube
type.
