Minimal configuration for usage with 5V power supply and 5V Addressable LEDs:

Minimum set

1. Solder jumpers

  • Jumpers have to be soldered first according to chosen configuration:
  • IO1-IO3 - Let you choose D2 output, GPIO1 or GPIO3 (Feature added in shield v2.1);
  • IO15 (ESP32 only)- Let you choose if your output 15 is shifted or not (soldered left not shifted);
  • IO15-1 (ESP32 only) - Must be soldered if output 15 is shifted;
  • IO14 (ESP32 only) - Let you choose if your output 14 is shifted or not (soldered right not shifted);
  • IO14-1 (ESP32 only) - Must be soldered if output 14 is shifted;
  • J-R2 - If soldered bypassing resistor R2;
  • J-R1 - Soldered if resistor R1 must be used;

Jumpers example

2. Level shifter and passive low profile elements

  • First solder components with low profile.
  • Level shifter (LV1)
  • Check correct orientation (notch of the level shifter must be alined with silk screen on board)
  • Solder resistors R3
  • Diodes D1 and D2 (Check diodes orientation with markings on PCB).

Step 1

3. Headers

  • Two headers H1 and H2
  • Mosfet Q1 (Q1)
  • Capacitor C1 (C1)

Step 2

4. Fuse holder, Resettable fuse, Relay

  • Resettable fuse F2
  • Solder fuse holder F1
  • Last relay K1
  • Solder wire jumper on place of power selector.

Step 3

5. Terminal connector

  • Terminal connector X1, X2

Step 4

6. Electrolytic capacitors

  • And now the capacitors C6 and C2 (pay attention to polarity) Step 5

7. Add solder to traces

Add good amount of solder to traces shown in red. For more Amps to flow through. Step 6

8. Clean your board with 99% isopropyl alcohol

Step 7

And check if you don't have a solder bridges between soldering pads

Step 7_1

Fuse and power selector

Now put a fuse into the fuse holder. Before you put the jumper on the power selector, do the next step of the wiki first.
