WSG102 Soldering Kit Instruction Manual

1. Киришүү

The Whadda WSG102 Soldering Kit allows you to build a unique logic game called "1-2-3". This game challenges your strategic thinking against a machine, with its logic hardwired using only diodes, transistors, and LEDs, without the need for a microcontroller. It's designed to be an educational and engaging project for electronics enthusiasts and makers.

The objective of the "1-2-3" game is simple: players take turns moving a peg along a path of holes. On each turn, a player can move the peg 1, 2, or 3 spaces. The player who successfully moves the peg to the final hole wins the game.

2. Коопсуздук маалыматы

Working with soldering equipment involves heat and electrical components. Please read and adhere to the following safety guidelines:

• Вентиляция: Шире түтүнүн жутуп албаш үчүн ар дайым жакшы желдетилген жерде иштеңиз.
• Көздү коргоо: Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from splashes of hot solder or flying debris.
• Ысык беттер: Soldering irons become extremely hot. Avoid touching the tip or recently soldered components. Use a soldering iron stand.
• Өрт коркунучу: Keep flammable materials away from your soldering area.
• Электр коопсуздугу: Ensure your soldering iron is in good condition and properly grounded. Do not work with live circuits.
• коргошунсуз ширетүүчү: If using lead-free solder, note that it requires higher temperatures.
• Чоңдордун көзөмөлү: This kit is recommended for users with basic soldering experience. Younger users should have adult supervision.
• Компонент менен иштөө: Some electronic components can be sensitive to static electricity. Handle them by their bodies, not their leads.

3. Пакеттин мазмуну

Before beginning assembly, verify that all components are present in your kit. The WSG102 kit includes all necessary electronic components and the printed circuit board (PCB) to construct the "1-2-3" logic game. A 9V battery is required for operation and is камтылган эмес пакетте.

Refer to the included component list or schematic for exact quantities and values.

4. Орнотуу жана монтаждоо нускамалары

Follow these steps carefully to assemble your WSG102 Soldering Kit. It is recommended to solder components from lowest profile to highest profile.

1. Жумуш мейкиндигиңизди даярдаңыз: Ensure your soldering area is clean, well-lit, and well-ventilated. Have your soldering iron, solder, desoldering braid/pump, and safety glasses ready.
2. Компоненттерди аныктоо: Sort and identify all resistors, diodes, transistors, and LEDs. Match them to their corresponding labels on the PCB. Resistors are identified by color bands, diodes and LEDs have polarity (anode/cathode), and transistors have specific pinouts.
3. Ширетүүчү резисторлор: Insert resistors into their designated spots (e.g., R1, R2, R3, etc.) on the PCB. Bend the leads slightly to hold them in place, then solder and trim excess leads.
4. Solder Diodes and Transistors: Carefully insert diodes (D1, D2, D3) and transistors, paying close attention to their polarity and orientation as marked on the PCB. Solder and trim leads.
5. Ширетүүчү LEDдер: Insert the LEDs (LED1, LED2, LED3, LED4) into their positions. LEDs are polarized; the longer lead is typically the anode (+), and the shorter lead/flat edge on the casing indicates the cathode (-). Match this to the PCB markings. Solder and trim leads.
6. Ширетүүчү конденсаторлор: Insert capacitors (C1) into their designated spots. Electrolytic capacitors are polarized; ensure the negative stripe aligns with the negative marking on the PCB. Solder and trim leads.
7. Attach Battery Clip: Solder the red wire of the 9V battery clip to the positive (+) terminal and the black wire to the negative (-) terminal on the PCB, as indicated.
8. Connect Stylus: Solder the stylus wire to the designated "STYLUS" pad on the PCB.
9. Ширетүүчү муундарды текшерүү: After all components are soldered, carefully inspect each joint for cold solder joints (dull, lumpy appearance) or solder bridges (solder connecting two adjacent pads). Re-solder or clean as necessary.
10. Батарея салыңыз: Once assembly is complete and inspected, connect a 9V battery to the battery clip.

5. Operating Instructions (Playing the "1-2-3" Game)

The "1-2-3" game is a two-player logic game, where one player is you and the other is the machine (the circuit itself). The objective is to be the player who moves the peg (represented by the stylus) to the final hole.

5.1-сүрөт: Visual representation of the "1-2-3" game concept, where players move 1, 2, or 3 steps.

Оюнду орнотуу:

• Ensure a 9V battery is connected.
• The game starts with the stylus placed in the "START" hole.

Оюндун жүрүшү:

1. Оюнчунун кезеги: You begin the game. Using the stylus, touch the metal ring of the hole you wish to move the peg to. You can move 1, 2, or 3 spaces forward from the current peg position.
2. Machine's Turn: After your move, the circuit (machine) will "think" and then indicate its move by lighting up LEDs and guiding you to the next hole it chooses.
3. Alternating Turns: Continue alternating turns, moving the stylus to the indicated hole.
4. Жеңиш: The player who successfully moves the stylus to the "FINISH" hole wins the game.

The game's logic is designed to be challenging. Observe the machine's moves to understand its strategy.

6. Техникалык тейлөө

To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your WSG102 Soldering Kit, follow these maintenance tips:

• Тазалоо: Keep the circuit board clean and free of dust and debris. Use a soft, dry brush or compressed air. Avoid using liquids directly on the circuit.
• Батарея: Remove the 9V battery if the kit will not be used for an extended period to prevent battery leakage and corrosion.
• Сактагыч: Store the assembled kit in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Калем: Ensure the stylus tip remains clean and conductive for proper interaction with the game board.
• Solder Joints: Periodically inspect solder joints for any signs of cracking or corrosion. Re-solder if necessary.
