Title: LE build manual feecback
Post by: mmorlan62 on March 15, 2012,

So, I finished my first DLA project - the LE!  And I'm very pleased.

I did have one foul-up during assembly, however - in part caused by the build manual and my not reading ahead to assure my understanding.  The line;

"There are 16 180 ohm resistors (Brown, Gray, Brown, Gold) along the bottom of the board. "

reads as if the 180ohm resistors should be installed in the very bottom of the board between the triacs and terminals (even though the board's silkscreen notes otherwise.)  I dutifully installed the 180ohm resistors in the bottom-most locations on the board only to discover later in the manual that I was supposed to install the 47k resistors there.  A bit of desoldering and one lost/replaced resistor later and I was back on track.

Perhaps a slightly better description of the locale of the 180ohm resistors might be in order.

Thanks for a great kit!

Michael

I made it a bit clearer.  It now reads

There are 16 180 ohm resistors (Brown, Gray, Brown, Gold) between the optoisolators (6-pin sockets labelled 3023) and the "DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE" labels above the triacs.
