that case, you may want to avoid installing the 1x25 Apple2 keyboard header
if it interferes with the target keyboard matrix. Also, for use with a key
matrix that already has a diode for each key (or each row), you will need to
install jumpers across the footprints for diodes D1-D16.

1. If you ARE building this board as an Apple 2 encoder, then you may omit:
1. OMIT Sol-20 connector J5
1. OMIT Custom connector J7
1. OMIT D17,D18,D19 - These are used for the "classic" keyboard matrix.
1. OMIT D7,D8,D15,D16 - These are diodes for rows 12-15, which are not used.
1. OMIT the serial out connector J3 if you do not plan to use a serial output.
1. OMIT the I/O connector J4, as all the I/O lines are routed through the
- This encoder is normally used with keyboards that have a diode per key. For use
with a key matrix with no diodes (such as the Apple 2 key matrix), cut the PCB
traces that short diodes D1-16, and install D1-16.

you do not need to install both the Apple 2 connector (J1) AND the Apple

1. Solder the surface-mount microcontroller first. Be sure to match pin 1 to the
dot on the silk-screen layer.
1. Next, install the surface mount crystal, Y1. The orientation is not important.
1. Next, solder in the diodes D1-D7, D9-D14, and 20-D27
1. Install all the capacitors. These are all 0.1 uF ceramic capacitors with 0.1"
lead spacing. Many capacitors with 0.2" lead spacing are actually 0.1"
emerging from the body, bent to 0.2", and can be straightened back to 0.1".
1. Next, solder in the resitor R1 and Resistor network RN1.
1. Install DIP switch SW1.

1. Install all the capacitors. Be sure to separate out the two capacitors for the XTAL
circuit from the other capacitors, the rest of which are 0.1uF bypass capacitors.
1. Install the In-circuit Serial Programming (ISP) header, J6. (right-angle, 2x3
0.100")
