What Kind of Kit Do I Have?

There were some minor revisions to the printed circuit board and a couple components after the initial run of kits. They both operate and look exactly the same when finished, but there are some differences in the construction.

Here are a few ways to determine what kit you have:

  • Does your PC board say “Altair-Duino version 1.5” and did it come with some acrylic parts? If so, you have the current kit. Your build instructions are here.

  • Does your PC board say “Altair-Duino version 1.4”? Your build instructions are here.

Was your kit purchased before August 1st, 2017?  Yes?  You have the Revision 1 (Beta) kit.

  • Does your pc board show the 150Ω and 10kΩ values on the silkscreen? Yes?
    You have the Version 1.1 kit.
  • Does you PC board show a single white line indicating a jumper below the Arduino location? Yes?  You have the Revision 1 (Beta) kit.
  • Does your PC board show the text “RXD, TXD, GND, +5v” on the silkscreen in the lower left? Yes?
    You have the Version 1.1 kit.
  • Does your PC board show the text “Altair-Duino version 1.2” on the silkscreen in the lower right? Yes?
    You have the Version 1.2 kit.
