BlinkenLEDsPro 1.1 engl

mutante gave me its BlinkenLEDsPro kit, which he ends to last yearly on the congress acquired, so that I develop the kit.

Current conditions are:
 * S/w mode on a Windoze runs.
 * Does not go to gray tones at the Windows computer yet; Simply too little time had, me with it to concern so far...
 * operate at the Linux computer goes now also. Also with gray tones.

I developed an wooden case with removable Plexi cover. Pictures and structural drawing comming soon.

Tools
Soldering together was actually completely simple. With my not adjustable 30W soldering iron with a 4mm point I had perhaps somewhat much power on a something spread soldering point, but except the ICs most construction units are quite durable which heat up concern. I putted alls ICs in a sockel. The tin solder “SN60” has possibly also somewhat much fluxing agent for a plate circuit, but after 7.5 hr. soldering time I did not have a only one cold soldered connection at first attempt.

Building guidance
As building guidance I actually arranged myself only completely after the front photo in BlinkenLEDsPro 1.1 Readme.

sequence
Beginning with the cable links (fig. 1-3) I up-soldered gradual construction units with ever more largely becoming overall height. After the IC bases (fig. 3-1), which small condensers and the transistor (fig. 3-2) have I the 18 resistance arrays for the LEDs inserted (fig. 3-3) and afterwards installs the remaining construction units at the edge (fig. 3-4). With the 4 resistances at the edge that only lay “tricky point”, which could possibly make problems for inexperienced amateur handicraftsmen; After short comparison of the bill of material (list with values and colour rings of the resistances, see below) and the sketch to the plate (ReadMe page 3) one determines however easily: The brown-black-red resistance must be soldered perpendicularly and the brown-black-brown horizontally (with put up plate as in the photo in the ReadMe page 2), the two red-violet-red next to each other over it.

omg

google is soo worse in translating...

I'll continued later...
