Solder the .1uF/100nF capacitors C1, C2, C4, C9

.33 uF capacitors

Solder the .33uF capacitors C3, C7 (if using the LM7805 regulator this is a .33uF if you are using the MCP1702 this should be a 10uF

C10 and C8 Capacitors

Solder the 10uf Caps c10 and C8
Now we solder the resistors

Find the resistor marked 121 as shown and solder it

R1 Soldered

Find the 10K resistors marked 1002 for R2 and R6

R2 and R6 soldered

1K resistors are marked 1001 R3,R4, R5, Note these are optional if you are not installing the LEDs you do not need to install these resistors

R3,R4, R5 soldered

LED1 Note the Green mark for orientation

LED2 Note the Green mark for orientation

LED3 Note the Green mark for orientation

LEDs installed, The green orientation marks are pointing to the edge of the board, also shown is the atmega, you will need to line up the circle on the chip with the circle on the board to ensure proper installation

Next install the serial chip header

1x40p 2.54 header strip

clip the header strip into the sizes shown here

Install the 1x10p in two rows, also install the 2x4 pin female header as shown

Install the IC3 L78l33ACZ as shown, also install the 2x3 pin headers

Install the 2 pin shunt jumper header and the serial programming header. Note that in all operations the two pin jumper should not be used. This is only needed if you are powering your serial board from a LOR controller

Install the resonator as shown

Install the RJ45 8p8c jack, this board will support both top entry (shown) or right angle entry

If you are using a DC Jack you would solder this in like shown

if you are using a screw terminal for power you will solder it as shown, you can also just solder power directly to the socket.
Now, before you go any further you need to program your atmega. you will need to bootload your atmega using the 2x3 pin programming header. to do this you need an AVR programmer (not included in kit)
after bootloading is complete you will need to load the serial code using the 5 pin serial programming header. You will have the best success programming the atmega if the RS485 chip is not installed.
once your board is bootloaded and programmed successfully you can put the rs485 chip in.
To configure for DMX, Renard, or LOR add jumpers to the 2x10 pin header in the positions indicated on the PCB.

Nrf radio and serial chip installed.
