This page describes the assembly of the low-voltage through-hole components for the latest revision of the board. Refer to this page for information on previous revisions.
Take your soldering iron, as it’s time to solder a few components. We will now solder the low-voltage through-hole components.
- Solder switch S1 and set it to the 0 position.
- Solder connector J1
- Solder the +5V/-5V DC/DC converter DCDC1
- Solder the +3.3V DC/DC converter DCDC2
- Solder inductor L1, cut the excess leads with pliers.
- Solder 3-pin jumper J2, and put a jumper on the bottom two pins (indicated in blue on the image above).
Jumper J2 is used to select the current output.- Position 3V3 (as shown on image): output current ~100uA
- Position 5V: output current ~200uA
- Solder 3-pin header J6 and put a jumper on the left as shown in blue on image above.
- solder 2-pin header J11
That’s it, you are done with the low-voltage through-hole components!
Next step
Once the low-voltage components are in place, it is time to run a few tests and perform the initial configuration.
