SOLDERING
: If you are inexperienced, ask any electronics
technician to show you how it's done, then do practice
soldering/de-soldering on a junked circuit board before working
on your kit. Here's what is important:
9
Keep the soldering iron tip CLEAN, using a damp sponge
9
Let the heated connection itself melt the solder, not the iron tip
9
Use a thin diameter of rosin-core solder
9
Use VERY good lighting; NEVER be embarrassed to use a
magnifier!
4.
DE-SOLDERING
is the opposite of soldering and is a more
tedious procedure. Again, a repair technician can show you the
best technique. Take care not to damage circuit board pads or
traces - save yourself from desoldering agony by installing the
right part the right way the first time!
5. Except for P1 , P2 and J5 mounted on the bottom ("solder
side") of the board,
ALL Main Board parts are inserted into the
top silkscreened side
, with leads passing through the holes to the
bottom solder side. (This advice may seem insulting, but some
folks DO carefully mount and solder all parts on the copper side
of the board and wonder why the kit won't work!)
6.
Insert all parts as close to the board surface as possible
before
soldering and trimming. Excess wire length above the board can
cause unwanted oscillations.
7.
Reminder about your Kit Manual
: NEVER "Solder first and ask
questions later" ! The Success of your project depends on your
willingness to study our published directions attentively. Check
your kit package for any update sheet(s) to supplement this
manual.
Use the double
check blocks
to review your work
(ideally with someone else) before connecting voltage.
8.
TOOLS
: Page 14 lists the "minimum" tools needed for this
particular project. However, you'll appreciate owning a more
varied collection of small tools for electronics work: the selection
at Radio Shack'" is good, with the lower-priced versions being
quite sufficient. If buying your first voltmeter ("multitester"), you
may find the "analog" meter type easier to use at first than the
digital type.
