- Page 2 • Components list: • n. 1 PCB Board • n. 1 Arduino DUE board (pre-programmed) • micro SD module (with pre-programmed SD card) • DB9 module (RS232) • n. 37 red LEDs 5mm • n. 17 ON-ON toggle switches • n. 8 MOM-OFF-MOM toggle switches •...
- Page 3 STEP 1 Assembly of integrated circuit sockets and resistor arrays Position the sockets in their seats paying attention to the direction, the small groove must correspond to the drawing on the board, solder all 5 sockets.
- Page 4 Resistor array assembly Position the resistors paying attention to the direction, the dot on the component must correspond to the dot in the drawing on the board, solder the five components.
- Page 5 STEP 2 Insert the integrated circuit on the sockets Insert the 5 integrated circuit, always paying attention to the direction, do not force insertion.
- Page 6 STEP 3 Arduino DUE assembly Cut the pin headers to size and insert them from the long side onto the Arduino Due connectors...
- Page 7 Insert the 6-pole connector onto the SPI pins of the Arduino DUE Mount the Arduino DUE on the back side of the board...
- Page 8 Solder all the pins on the front side of the board.
- Page 9 STEP 4 LED and switch assembly Mount the four 15mm spacers on the board, securing them with the relative nuts...
- Page 10 Switch and LEDs assembly Insert the switches in their seats, there is no obligatory direction but be careful to mount the mom-off-mom switches at the bottom (they are usually red in color and there are eight of them) and the ON-ON ones in the center (they are colored blue and there are 17 of them) Insert all the LEDs paying attention to the direction, the shortest pin goes into the hole where the white notch is...
- Page 11 Mount the front panel and secure it with the plastic screws...
- Page 12 Turn the board over and position the LEDs, letting them fall into their seats, solder all the LEDs.
- Page 13 Solder all the switches, checking that in the meantime they have not moved from their seat ATTENTION! Be careful not to overheat the toggle switches while soldering. This can damage the switch mechanism. Instead of soldering all three pins of the toggle one after the other, solder the top pins on all switches, then the middle ones, then the bottom ones.
