Classic - Reloaded build

[roymaya]

I'm in the process of putting together a Classic Reloaded board. My question is on board revisions. I noticed that the Reloaded board is for revision 820--0390-03. My donor board is revision 820-0390--B. Is there anything I have to watch out for or do they all pretty much have the same components populated?

Hello! The man who made the board, here

You should be fine - all the birdseed is pre-populated - not all pads were needed to be populated, some were left intentionally blank - all the ASICs are the same between revisions - should be A-OK

Hey Kai. Unfortunately the board I have did'n't come pre-populated so I'm in the process of installing all the passives. R2, R6 and R9 are not populated on my donor board so I will leave those off on the rebuild as well. I also noticed that R66 is not in the same location as my donor board, it's about 2 inches to the right on the Reloaded.

Now I'm puzzled a bit. I thought R66 was just moved to a different location on the Reloaded board but now I'm wondering if it's actually mislabeled? R66 seems to be sitting right where C75 is on my donor board. And I can't find C75 anywhere on the Reloaded board.

If you don't mind waiting til tomorrow, I'll send you the pick and place BOM which has all the component values for each spot, listed.

No problem. Thanks for your help.

Be aware that the silkscreen labels on the back side are sometimes placed at an ambiguous location. Best double-check with your donor board.
