Page 3: Circuit Description
Advanced RGB LED 1.0 Kit Circuit Description The Advanced RGB LED 1.0 utilizes a PIC12F683 microcontroller, U2, which outputs a 3-channel pulse width modulated (PWM) signal which controls a single high power RGB LED module, D1. The output PWM signals are modulated to produce a wide array of... -
Page 4: Kit Building Tips
Advanced RGB LED 1.0 Kit Kit Building Tips A good soldering technique is key! Let your soldering iron tip gently heat both the wires and pads simultaneously. Apply solder to the wire and the pad when the pad is hot enough to melt the solder. - Page 5 Advanced RGB LED 1.0 Kit Surface Mount (SMT) Component Soldering Instructions One of the first things you’ll notice with your electronics kit is that many of the included components are surface mount components. These components do not have conventional leads, as is the case with thru-hole components, and instead solder directly to pads located either on the top or bottom of the PCB board.
- Page 6 Advanced RGB LED 1.0 Kit At first, surface mount soldering may seem a bit difficult, but its actually much easier than thru-hole soldering once you get the hang of it. Good luck and take your time! − 6 − December 2013, Rev 1 http://www.EasternVoltageResearch.com...

- Page 9 Advanced RGB LED 1.0 Kit KIT Building Instructions Now we will begin building the kit. There are just a few more important things to know before we install the first components. For each component, the word “install” always means the following: Pick the correct value to start with.
- Page 10 Advanced RGB LED 1.0 Kit Okay, so lets begin! 1. Install D1, High Power RGB LED Module. The LED has polarity and should be installed so that the anode end of the LED is pointing towards the silkscreen DOT and notch on the board. The anode end of this particular LED is indicated by a notch in the corner of the LED as shown in the figure below.

Page 12: Set-Up And Testing
Advanced RGB LED 1.0 Kit Set-up and Testing Okay, so lets begin! 1. Install a 9V battery into the battery connector, or connect a 7-12VDC power supply to the proper terminals ensuring proper polarity is observed. 2. Using a multimeter, verify that there is 5VDC at pin 1, of U2. This will ensure that the onboard 5V regulator, U1, is connected and working properly. -
