4. Instrucións de montaxe (Configuración)
This kit requires basic electronic theoretical knowledge and soldering skills. Patience is needed, especially for assembling the keys. All components have clearly assigned and marked connectors on the PCB.
- Preparar a placa de circuíto impreso: Identify all soldering points and component placements as indicated on the PCB.
- Solder Smaller Components First: Begin by soldering the lowest profile components such as resistors, diodes, and IC sockets (if applicable). Ensure correct orientation for polarized components (diodes, ICs).
- Install ICs: If using sockets, insert the ICs into their respective sockets after soldering the sockets to the PCB. Ensure correct orientation (notch/dot alignment).
- Solder Display Modules: Attach the 6-digit 7-segment display modules to their designated positions.
- Solder Buttons: Carefully solder all tactile buttons. This step requires patience to ensure they are flush and functional.
- Solder Power Connectors: Solder the USB power connector and the button cell holder.
- Assemble Acrylic Casing: Once all soldering is complete and verified, assemble the acrylic casing around the PCB using the provided screws and standoffs. Ensure the button grid aligns perfectly with the soldered buttons.

5. Instrucións de funcionamento
5.1 Acendido
The calculator can be powered by either a USB cable (not included) or a CR2032 button cell battery (not always included). Do not supply power simultaneously from both sources.
- Potencia USB: Connect a standard Micro USB cable to the calculator and a 5V power source.
- Potencia da batería: Insert a CR2032 button cell battery into the battery holder, ensuring correct polarity.
To turn on the calculator, briefly press the ON/C button. To enter sleep mode, long-press the ON/C botón.
5.2 Operacións aritméticas básicas
The calculator supports basic arithmetic operations with decimals and negative numbers, and continuous calculations.
- Introduza números usando o teclado numérico.
- Usa o +, -, ×, ÷ buttons for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Preme = para mostrar o resultado.
- Preme ON/C to clear the current entry or calculation.
5.3 Resistance Value Measurement Mode
The calculator can measure the resistance value of four or five-band resistors by inputting the color codes.
- Mantén presionado o botón MODO button to switch to resistance measurement mode. The digital display will show [ - - - - - - ].
- Enter the color bands of the resistor using the corresponding buttons.
- Preme o = button to obtain the resistance value.
Imaxe: Examples of resistance value measurement, showing input color codes and calculated resistance values on the display.

6. Mantemento
- Limpeza: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the acrylic casing. Evitar produtos de limpeza ou solventes abrasivos.
- Substitución da batería: If using battery power, replace the CR2032 button cell when the display dims or the calculator stops functioning. Ensure correct polarity.
- Almacenamento: Store the calculator in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
7 Solución de problemas
| Problema | Causa posible | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| A calculadora non se acende. | No power source connected or battery depleted/incorrectly inserted. | Connect USB power or replace/reinsert CR2032 battery with correct polarity. Ensure only one power source is connected. |
| Os botóns non responden ou están pegañentos. | Poor soldering connection for buttons or misalignment of acrylic button grid. | Check soldering points for cold joints or bridges. Re-align the acrylic casing se é necesario. |
| Resultados de cálculo incorrectos. | Component values incorrect or soldering errors on ICs/resistors. | Verify all components are correctly placed and soldered according to the schematic. Check IC orientation. |
| Display shows garbled characters or nothing. | Display module not soldered correctly or IC issue. | Inspect display module soldering. Ensure ICs are seated properly in sockets. |
