Completed my very first board assembly after 67 years. Lots more to go. The only pcb and parts I have so far were for one dongle. Looks like I've got it completed, but have to retrieve my PIC from BLearning as he and Keith were to program it. I hope I soldered all the connections well and that everything is correct, but won't know until I can hook it up and give it a whirl. As I followed the manual (from the WIKI) I ended up with one part where there is no reference in the manual. If the part instruction is there I cannot see it although it is installed in the pictures. Maybe that is in Step 3 - is a transistor the same as the following 512-FQP27P06 60v P-Channel QFET picture seems to indicate this but more specific info in the manual should be there. Remember I am not an electrical engineer and am definitely a rank novice at doing this. I believe Wikis allow for many people to update them, but I am a novice at board assembly, DIY Christmas and have never done anything with a Wiki other than read them so I will leave any WIKI updates to a more experienced person.
Any way I feel pretty good for now.
One other issue is that as a novice at this, when I got to Step 5 to insert the chips, I could no longer tell what chip went in to which socket since the printing on the pcb is now covered by the socket. Fortunately one of the early pictures was clear enough to give me the answer, but that information ought to be in the manual text as well. Just my 2cent feedback.
