1. Cut 2 x 14 pin strips and 4 x 4 pin strips from the header pin strips. Insert them into their places
then flip it over to solder. Use a piece of card board or a book etc to hold them in place while
flipping over. Solder one pin from each strip, flip over and make sure they are sitting evenly. You
can melt the pin with the soldering iron to adjust. Once happy they are seated correctly, solder
the rest of the pins in place.

2. Install D2 (1n4004 power diode) into D2 and solder in place. Make sure the silver band on the
diode matches the band on the PCB.

3. Install D1 and D3 (1N4148 signal diode) into D1 and D3 then solder in place. Again making sure
the black band on the diode matches the band on the PCB.

4. Install IC1 –the LD1117v33 voltage regulator and solder into place.

5. Install the seven 10K resistors (R18, R23, R24, R25, R26, R27 and R30) and solder into place.

6. Install L1 the 100uh inductor and solder into place.

7. Install the two 100R resistors R2 and R13 and solder into place.

8. Install the 100K resistor R3 ( brown black black orange brown ) and solder into place.

9. Install the 220 ohm resistor R10 ( red red black black brown ) and solder into place.

10. Install the 4.7K resistor R11 ( yellow violet black brown brown ) and solder into place.

11. Install the 1K resistor R12 ( brown black black brown brown ) and solder into place.

12. Install the 10uf tantalum capacitor, paying close attention to the orientation. NOTE: The longer
leg is the positive lead and must be installed into the hole marked C2. Double check orientation
against the pictures and when happy solder into place.

13. Install the four 100nf MLCC capacitors marked 104 ( C4, C11, C12 and C17 ) and solder into
place. Orientation does not matter for these as they are non-polarized.

14. Install the 82nf MKT capacitor C1 marked 823K100 and solder into place.

15. Install the 2.7nf MKT capacitor C3 marked 272K100 and solder into place.

16. Install the 100uf electrolytic capacitor C20 –these capacitors are polarized and must be installed
with the longer lead into the hole marked with the + symbol.

17. Install the 10uf electrolytic capacitor C18 –these capacitors are polarized and must be installed
with the longer lead into the hole marked with the + symbol.

18. Install Led1 –leds are polarized and must be installed with the longer lead into the hole marked
with a + symbol and the shorter leg into the hole marked with the –symbol.
