<\/a><\/p>\nStep 2:<\/h4>\n
Examine the PCB.\u00a0 The PCB should have some parts already soldered near the lower left corner – this is the surface mount DC-DC converter.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nStep 3:<\/h4>\n
Install the two IC sockets, marked IC1 and IC2.\u00a0 The notch in one end of each socket should be oriented such that it matches the notch shown in the PCB silkscreen.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nStep 4:<\/h4>\n
Install the pushbutton, S1, and resistors R19, R20, and R23.\u00a0 Resistor R19 is 330 ohms (marked orange-orange-brown-gold).\u00a0 Resistors R20 and R23 are 1k (marked brown-black-red-gold).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nStep 5:<\/h4>\n
Install resistors R1 through R19.\u00a0 All of these resistors are 100 Ohms (marked brown-black-brown-gold).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nStep 6:<\/h4>\n
Install the LEDs.\u00a0 LED1 is the red BURN LED while LED2 is the green READY LED.<\/p>\n
The LEDs have two leads.\u00a0 One is longer, this is the positive lead.\u00a0 Install the LED so the long lead goes into the hole on the left, near the small + symbol.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nStep 7:<\/h4>\n
Break the 0.1″ header into two sections of 6 pins and two sections of 8 pins.\u00a0 Install the header strips into the board from the bottom side, so the shorter pins stick up through the board, as shown.\u00a0 Make sure the headers sit roughly 90 degrees from the PCB so that they point straight down.\u00a0 I find it helpful to solder one or two pins and check the alignment of each header before soldering the rest of the pins.<\/p>\n
