# How to assemble a V4 mini LED hardware kit:
|
||||
|
||||
## Getting to know your hardware
|
||||
|
||||
There are 3 main components of an IR LED kit; the mainboard, LEDs and wires.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Mainboard
|
||||
Below is the V4 mini mainboard with major features labled.
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### LEDs
|
||||
There are 2 different types of LED boards.
|
||||
The one you should have more of are the "N" LEDs. N stands for Normal, these make up 3 of the leds per eye.
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The second type is the "E" LEDs. E stands for End as these are put at the end of the LED strand.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
In future orders the "E" LEDs will be purple for easier distinction.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Wires
|
||||
The included wires are a bit special, they have 3 pins on the connectors but only 2 wires are attached.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
This distinction is crutial in assembling a kit as the wires need to go in a specific orientation outlined in the assembly picture which shows the pins without wires as dashes - - -.
|
||||
|
||||
## Wiring up V4 mini
|
||||
|
||||
Start by pluggin in the long wires to the main board like shown.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Then connect the wires to leds in the sequence:
|
||||
|
||||
`Mainboard -> N LED -> N LED -> N LED - > E LED`
|
||||
|
||||
You need to **pay very close attention** to the **orientation** of the wires so that the missing wire is facing the correct way. The following image shows a kit fully assembled:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example of the right eye's LED strand.

# How to assemble V4 Lite LED kit:
|
||||
|
||||
## Getting to know V4 lite
|
||||
|
||||
V4 lite is a soldering-required approach to LEDs. There are a few specific caveats to know before assembling and using this hardware.
|
||||
|
||||
1. The board must be supplied with 5v.
|
||||
- Other voltages may result in darker/non functioning LEDs.
|
||||
|
||||
2. You must change resistors if you change from a single or dual eye setup to the other.
|
||||
- Not doing so will result in too dim of LEDs or extremely bright LEDs. Ensure you are always using the correct one for your application.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Shorts on the main board can result in damaged hardware, dangerously bright LEDs, or nonfunctioning hardware.
|
||||
- Please ensure there are no shorts (even very small stray solder strands) between any pins or solder joints on the main board or LEDs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Wiring up V4 Lite
|
||||
|
||||
First, decide if you want dual eye or single eye operation and pick the appropiate resistor.
|
||||
|
||||
**__Single Eye:__**
|
||||
Use the 130ohm resistor marked with Black, Black, and Gold middle rings:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**__Dual Eye:__**
|
||||
Use the 65ohm resistor marked with Yellow, White and Gold middle rings:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Now, solder the resistor on the board (any orientation), and then the black 3 pin voltage regulator (orientation matters, solder on the side with the white outline and have it fit in the outline's shape)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Now, wire up the LEDs like shown.
