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. | 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. | ||
'''Before you start''' | |||
Read through this build sequence familiarising yourself with the proposed order of steps. | |||
'''Useful Tips''' These arose from the experiences of 30 new builders over the London Hackspace Nanode Weekend | |||
1. Assemble the two green screw terminal connectors into a single 4 way block, before you solder - you won't be able to do this if you solder them on individually! | |||
2. Space the two metal crystal cans about 1mm above the pcb. This prevents the risk of the metal can shorting to any of the vias underneath. | |||
3. Pay particular attention to the orientation of the 3V3 regulator - note it's NOT the same as the screen print legend. We had to change the regulator for one capable of more current and it came with a different pin-out. Follow the photographs carefully. | |||
We start with the resistors that make up the central strip. Resistor leads should be bent close to the resistor body within about 1mm. | We start with the resistors that make up the central strip. Resistor leads should be bent close to the resistor body within about 1mm. | ||
