/ / Assembling the freeduino

1. Unpack the kit
   
   
   
   

   ---

2. Identify and separate the following components:

   R8	1Kohm resistor (RLED just below the power LED)
   C13	4.7uF capacitor
   LED	3mm green LED
   C8, C10	100nF ceramic capacitor
   C4	10nF ceramic capacitor
   X1	USB B PCB jack
   SV1	3 pin male header
   SHUNT	Black shunt
   F1	PTC resettable fuse (pre-soldered on v1.19.1)

3. Solder the parts to the board, in any order.
   
   
   
   

   DC1	DC power jack 2.1 mm barrel type
   D1	1N4004 diode
   C5, C12	100nF ceramic capacitor
   C6	100uF electrolytic capacitor (marked 200uF on the board)
   C7	47uF electrolytic capacitor
   IC2	7805 5V positive voltage regulator

   
   
   
   
   
   
   

   R1	10 Kohm resistor
   R11, R12	1 Kohm resistor
   CRS	100nF ceramic capacitor
   13, RX, TX	3mm LED
   R7, R9, R10	1Kohm resistors (RLED)

   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

   ---

4. Now solder the headers and sockets:

   ICSP	2×3 pin male header
   RESET	reset switch
   POWER, Analog In	2 x 6-pin female header
   Digital	2 x 8-pin female header
   ATMEGA168	28-pin DIP socket

   
   
   
   
   

   ---

5. Pay special attention to the alignment of the female headers.
