OLIMEX OSHW-GHOST Assembly Instructions

OSHW-GHOST is small open source hardware board, created to teach novices soldering SMT
components. It's easy to assembly and fun to use as it contain re-programmable PIC10F206
microcontroller which you can re-program yourself once you assembly the board.
Here is how the kit looks like:
What you see is white printed circuit board, metal clip and pin which will allow you to attach this board
to your cloths, battery and metal battery holder, 3 resistors one capacitor and two high intensity green
LEDs with 3 mm diameter.
To solder this board you need:
- soldering iron, any with power 20-60W, thin tip and regulated temperature will do the job for
instance this
- solder with flux – we recommend to use 1 mm wire solder with 2.5% flux core;
- colophony (you can buy from any electronic store or music instruments store);
- tweezers like
- wire cutters like
Power up your soldering iron and set it to 300-350C temperature.
If you look at the PCB it comes with PIC microcontroller pre-soldered:
This is done intentionally for two reasons, first it's hard to solder for novices, second to pre-program it
we use the ICSP1 connector on top, to program this PIC microcontroller in bulk requires special
adapter we do not have :)
