Assembly:
If you purchased our kit, refer to the parts list and make sure you have all of the components you need to build the kit.
Click here for Parts List.

Assembly can be done by personal choice, but you may find it easier to install the shorter components first, followed by the taller ones.   Kits are supplied with the MX465 presoldered, and cleaned free of any flux residue.

NOTE - Some components may need their leads straightened prior to installation to allow the part to sit down against the board.

Install all resistors.  Some resistors with the color yellow look orange.   If in doubt, use an ohm meter to verify the value before soldering it in place.

Install the diodes and capacitors, observing polarity on all diodes and the polarized capacitors!  The square pads are the banded end of the diodes and the + of the electrolytic capacitors.  Small capacitors are identified as follows: "474 = .47 uF, "104" = 0.1uF, in other words the first two digits are the value and the third digit is the number of zeroes you add to determine the value.

Then install the transistors (flat to flat on silkscreen).  Install the 6-position DIP switch.  See photo for DIP switch package orientation.  The word "ON" goes towards the DB25 connector.

Install the voltage regulator IC and crystal.  Then install the LED (short lead to the square hole) and the three pin and two pin headers, followed by the DB25F.
