PAPRa Printed Circuit Board Assembly

The printed circuit board assembly (thru hole version) for the Tetra PAPRa M12 controller

Quick Synopsis

The following is the board diagram for the M12 controller PCB. Further information can be found in the PAPRA-PCB project.

WARNING:we provide no warranty, implicit or explicit, that this device will work up to an N95 specification, when built outside of a facility rated to do so. The only way to truly test one of these devices using something like a Portacount under controlled conditions.

PCB Jig

Build instructions

  • Download the PCB Jig STL from Github and print it.

420

The larger gaps are to aid the positioning of the battery terminals.

  • Place the board on the PCB Jig. The markings should be upside down.

  • Insert the LEDs with the Anode facing away from the test points.

  • Insert the LEDS in the D1, D3, D4, D5 and D7

420
  • Flip the Board carefully and align the LEDs with the holes in the jig Push them into place until they touch the work surface.

420

Solder them carefully in place.

420

Snip the excess to make the bridging links

420

Bend the wire using the Bending slots in the left side of the Jig.

420

Solder the R6 and R12 with the wire.

420

Place the 100R Resistor in the R2 and solder it.

420

Place the 100R Resistors in the R7, R8, R9 and solder them.

100r resistors M

Place the 680R resistor in the R10 and solder it.
