# emonGLCD Build Guide

Guide created and maintained by: [Ian Chilton](http://www.ichilton.co.uk/) - please direct any suggestions or corrections to: ian [at] ichilton [dot] co [dot] uk.

If you run into problems please post on the [forum](http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/forum).

The PCB is built in an orderly sequence starting with the resistors and small components that are low on the board and then working up to the bulkier parts like connectors. After soldering each component, you need to cut off the excess component leg from the bottom using some cutters.

It is very easy to cause shorts which will make the board or specific parts of it not work, take your time during the build, be precise, use minimal solder and carefully check each joint after soldering it. If you suspect any short, check it with a multimeter and fix any shorts there and then, before continuing.

If your new to soldering or looking to improve your technique we highly recommend these videos:

**It is strongly recommended you read through the whole of this guide and familiarise yourself with the steps before you start the actual build. In particular, note that in step 7 you may, depending on the PCB version, need to insert components in the opposite polarity to the silk screen legend.**

## Version 1.4 PCB:

I did manage to find the tester.ico sketch as above, but it calls for
https://github.com/jcw/glcdlib - Which is a broken link.

So I haven’t yet managed to get my emonglcd working. Is there any chance of someone checking and updating the instructions please - is it actually possible to build it now that library is gone?
