Renard 64 Construction


Front of raw boards.

Rear of raw boards.

Raw Board with one exception - I drilled a third mounting hole in my boards at the bottom between 2 of the RJ-45 jacks.

Resistors mounted.
These have no polarity, but for troubleshooting, I put all the tolerance bands the same way.

Resistors soldered in.

Resistor leads snipped.

Resistor networks and diodes soldered in place.
These are all polarity sensitive, and the diodes can be static sensitive as well. (The dot on the RN goes to the square pad.)

Capacitors soldered in place.
Only the electrolytic is polarity sensitive. (Positive to square pad.)

Oscillator, RS-485 IC's and PIC sockets soldered in - ALL of these are polarity sensitive and the IC's and Oscillator are static sensitive.

Close up of the oscillator to show polarity.
Jumper is also soldered in here.

RJ-45 IN and OUT jacks soldered in place.

The first 8 LED's inserted.

Now we're up to32 inserted.

And finally 64!
All of these are polarity sensitive.

Long leads (+ or Anodes) Soldered to the square pads.

Short leads (- or Cathodes) soldered to the round pads.

3 Standoffs holding them up.

Ren 64's on the left, Ren T's on the right. 
I got these enclosures here.

2 of the Ren 64's opened up.
   
Notes:
I built these with ZC Alternative 1.
