RESISTORS
There are 7 resistors in all.
R1 to R6 are all 150 ohms in value. They can be placed
either way round.
R7 is a low tolerance type which is blue with 5 coloured
bands. It can also be inserted either way round.
IC HOLDER
The IC holder is for the IC. It is optional but a good idea to
use it. The holder has a notch at one end.
This should face downwards.
CAPACITOR
There is one 1uF ceramic dipped capacitor. It has the
numbers “105” written on one side.
This can be inserted either way round as it in a nonpolarised type.
It will be either blue or yellow in colour.
LEDs
There are 12 LEDs. They must be inserted the correct
way round. The LED has a flat section on the rim of the
LED to denote the negative.
This is clearly shown on the PCB, and how each LED
is inserted the opposite way round from the ones
next to it.
These can be pushed all the way into the PCB,
use a spacer (6mm) to space the LEDs far enough
from the PCB to clear the other components.

THERMISTOR
The Thermistor inserts below the IC holder. It can be
inserted either way round.
The wires are long so it can be soldered some distance
from the board and positioned where required.
Make sure the wires do not touch together otherwise
the reading will stay at 30 degrees.
POWER LEADS
The power leads from the battery holder are inserted
up through the large hole in the PCB marked “Wire”
and then back through the holes marked “+v” and
“0v”. This prevents them from breaking off. Solder
these wires to the pads underneath.
INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
The IC can now be inserted into the IC holder. Make sure the
notch on the case of the IC is facing downwards and all the
pins are inserted correctly.
To ease IC insertion, carefully pinch the rows of
legs inwards slightly to help align them. ICs
generally have their legs set slightly apart from
manufacture.
