Soldering

When starting assembly begin with smallest components, like resistors and diodes and continue with bigger

  • Some of components needs to be skipped (D6 like patch diode).
  • Also for manufactured version from EasyEDA SKIP 33pf capacitors (C1,C2,C3).

Verify voltages

Voltages

  • Those voltages are maximum values.
  • The voltage tolerance is 0.6V
  • When measuring voltages PCB need to be disconnected from everything_
  • Best practise is to make this test after soldering resistors and Zener diodes, without any capacitors.
  • Components marked with cross needs to be skipped
  • Isolate Arduino Mega 2560 USB with electrical tape

Trimmed lcd

Mounting in car

This is highly recommended mounting place for ArduinoMid!!!

The compartment behind this panel have easy access for future add-ons Compartment

Stock MID connector can be easily moved from top compartment to lower.

Fitting 240x64 in central console

In order to fit this huge display in top small compartment, you need to trim bottom edges of the LCD. Be careful not to cut some of PCB display traces Trimming1

Also for more better sticking into central console display hole, trim the factory display stand.
