That's about it. The rest of the components are simply support components
required by the MAX9708 and are used to provide stable voltages and signals
generated within the MAX9708. Again if you want more in depth information
about the MAX9708 go to "www.maxim-ic.com" and locate the data sheet for
it.
RAMSEY Learn-As-You-Build KIT ASSEMBLY
Successful kit assembly requires close attention to the assembly the assembly
instructions, good soldering techniques and proper tools. Here are some
helpful suggestions.
•
Use a 25-watt soldering pencil with a clean, sharp tip.
•
Use only rosin-core solder intended for electronics use.
•
Use bright lighting; a magnifying lamp or bench-style magnifier may
be helpful.
•
Do your work in stages, taking breaks to check your work. Carefully
•
brush away wire cuttings so they don't lodge between solder
connections.
We have a two-fold "strategy" for the order of the following kit assembly steps.
First, we install parts in physical relationship to each other, so there's minimal
chance of inserting wires into wrong holes. Second, whenever possible, we
install in an order that fits our "Learn-As-You Build" Kit building philosophy.
This entails describing the circuit that you are building instead of just blindly
installing components. We hope that this will not only make assembly of our
kits easier, but help you to understand the circuit you're constructing. For
each part, our word "Install" always means these steps:
1. Pick the correct part value to start with.
2. Place it in the correct PC board location.
3. Orient it correctly, follow the PC board drawing and the written
directions for all parts - especially when there's a right way
and a wrong way to place it on the board. (Diode bands, electrolytic
capacitor polarity, transistor shapes, dotted or notched ends
of IC's, and so forth.)
4. Solder all connections unless directed otherwise. Use enough heat
and solder flow for clean, shiny, completed connections.
