I recommend leaving the partly built board until last, if you run into problems you'll then have at least one working board to make comparisons with. Clean one of the PCBs using a polish block or emery paper as you did with the display PCBs then check for any copper whiskers. Take 2 Ferrite links fr...

One day I'll finally get all the permissions to sit down and behave... I checked that one a few times, now find it was set to undefined.

It's just for discussion about a possible future version that I thought would be easier there than by email.

NOTE: This information only applies to the first 20 kits supplied with plain copper engraved PCBs not the later etched boards and is left here for those who may not yet have started on the old kits. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

For this you will need the entire contents of BAG 5 and the 4 base PCBs: Unpack and sort out the components into seperate piles: Clockwise from top LH corner: 34x 6R8 resistors 9x 2R2 resistors 4x 1K5 resistors 30g solder 3x PIC10F200 microcontrollers 9x 14V zener diodes 11x 5V1 zener diodes. Be car...

Suggestions for improvements, mistakes, hints here please.
