1. Two LEDs of Sketch Loader Circuit should blink for a moment immediately after connecting it to PC later both will remain off These LEDs blinks when there is some data transfer to amp from PC On the Arduino DIY board the Green LED D1 will glow always when connected to the Sketch Loader Circuit This indicates Power ON The Red LED D2 will glow only if your Arduino code is written it to do so While uploading the code to your board if you encounter communication error then check the connections from PC to the board via USB cable and the Sketch Loader Circuit Also check the orientation of the ATmega328 IC you might have pushed it wrongly In such case you may safely remove the IC using a very small tip screw driver If green LED on the Arduino DIY board is not glowing even after connecting to the Sketch Loader Circuit then check location of Two pin Short Link also called as Jumper Pin is on EXT side If you want to power the board from external power source instead of the PC then shift the Two pin Short link to INT Side on JP4 Ensure that you connect regulated 9V DC Power Source to the barrel connector JP7 Ref image of assembled board Oe ket com re P LEM 9 OM a LL OM OM M OM M M D OL ee 11 ANALOG IN Ed laf 2N 2 re 1 ee 4 www EmbeddedMarket com Freeduino DIY Kit Arduino Compatible Do it Yourself Kit E Important information 1 The Freeduino DIY Kit Arduino Compa2. dering component cut component s lead at safe distance from PCB Not all component leads requires cut 5 Safe guard your eyes and nose from the fumes generated while soldering If possible use a fume extractor or use a simple fan of any type to drive the fumes in opposite direction so that they won t come to your face 6 Do not use plastic chairs for sitting during the soldering process Such chairs carry static charge Such static charge can damage electronics component easily 7 Do not store finished PCB in to plastic bags Static charge from plastic bags can also damage the end product 8 Use antistatic bags or paper bags to store bare electronic products Product Datasheet www EmbeddedMarket com Freeduino DIY Kit Arduino Compatible Do it Yourself Kit Below chart shows component placement Follow the same sequence which is defined based on component s height 1000990999 w 213121109 ETE I ais a C8 EmbeddedMarket com CX Freeduino DU DIY KIT eeeeeoeooodndd ANALOG IN o NM SCH Soldering Component Value Polarity Importance Sequence Marking R5 Resistance 10K Ohm C3 C Ceramic capacitor 22pf C6 C8 C9 C10 C11 U2 IC Base 28 Pin Match the notch of IC Base with the Do not solder IC directly notch mark on the PCB Crystal 16MHz D1 Green LED 3mm Insert longer lead in square pad on PCB Red LED 3mm Insert longer lead in square pad on PCB IC 7805 Bend IC s leg
