Parallax 27150 Manual

P8X32A-Q44 SchmartBoard (#27150)
Want to learn how to surface solder but don't know where to start? Parallax Inc has partnered with
SchmartBoard to bring an easy electronic circuit prototyping system in the form of a kit. This kit is a
perfect starting point; the SchmartBoard technology makes surface mount soldering easy. Once
completed, the board will host Parallax's most powerful microcontroller on this convenient development
platform, allowing access to all 32 I/O pins of the multi-core Propeller chip.
This board is designed to accommodate either surface mount or through-hole components in some
circuits. Wherever there is an option, both types of components have been included. The surface mount
soldering options, while more challenging, provides easier access to the J5 header.

Precautions
Please read entire document before beginning assembly.
Take all the necessary precautions for handling a hot soldering iron, solder, and soldering
equipment, including a well ventilated work area and proper safety gear including eye protection.
Do not power unit until all parts are attached.
Check soldering joints throughout the project, this will help ensure no cold solder joints have
been overlooked; and help when it comes to troubleshooting.
