This is the basic starting point for the build sequence.  The pcb is built in an orderly sequence starting with the resistors and small components that are low on the board and then working up to the bulkier parts like connectors.

Building a Nanode is just a case of replicating the steps shown in the following picture sequence - no real electronics experience needed - just basic soldering skills.


We start with the resistors that make up the central strip.  Resistor leads should be bent close to the resistor body within about 1mm.

Now we add the four 51R resistors  - the colour code is Green Brown Black Gold (The last band on all resistors is Brown).

Now we add the three 220R resistors  - the colour code is Red Purple Black Black (The last band on the right on all resistors is Brown).

1R  has the colour code  Brown Black Black Silver and is fitted in the position marked "ferrite".  The silver and gold colours look very similar in certain light conditions - if in doubt use a multimeter to check the value before you fit it.
