Assembly

Before starting assembly

Soldering

Zener diodes (D49,50)

Solder D49 and D50.
Diode is a polarized component and therefore take care of direction.
A Black line on diode is cathode. (square pad on pcb)

Resistors (R1,2,3,4,7,8)

Solder resistors. Don't place on R5 and R6. (They are for i2c)

RefValueColor code
R1,7,81.5kBrown/Green/Red/Gold
R2,375Purple/Green/Black/Gold
R410kBrown/Black/Orange/Gold
R5,6I2CDo not place

Diodes 1N4148 (D1-48)

Diode is a polarized component and therefore take care of direction. A Black line on diode is cathode. (square pad on pcb)

Crystal

Capacitors (C1,2,4,5)

There are 2 kinds of lead pitch.

RefValueLead pitch
C1,222pF2.5mm
C4,50.1uF5mm

USB connector

Narrow pitch! Be careful of solder bridge between pins.

LEDs

LED is a polarized component and therefore take care of direction. A short leg is cathode. (square pad on pcb) LED

If you use leds, make bridge J4 and J5 on bottom side.

IC socket

Solder IC socket. IC socket is a polarized component and therefore take care of direction. Check the notch on silk and IC Socket.

Electrolytic capacitor(C3) and Resettable fuse(F1)

Electrolytic capacitor is a polarized component and therefore take care of direction. A short leg is cathode. (square pad on pcb)

And after soldering resettable fuse, bend like the image.

Tactile Switch(SW50,51) and pin header

ATMEGA328p

Insert ATMEGA328P into IC Socket.

ATMEGA328 is a polarized component and therefore take care of direction. See the image.

Check list before connect USB

  • No short between VCC and GND, USB connector pins.
  • Direction of polarized components.(ATMEGA328p, diode, resettable fuse, electrolytic capacitor)
  • Resistor value
