Soldering Tv B Gone kit

Post by mrspectaculer »

Do u have to do the soldering on a specific side of the board v 1.2? Because I solder onto the opposite that they show in the tutorial is this a problem?

Yes, you need to solder them on the side with the outlines of the components.

Yup. That's the back side. Fortunately, the switch you soldered is symmetrical, so it will work as is if you decide to leave it. :D
But the same is not true of the transistors or other ICs. They MUST be on other side to work properly.
