Red then green...no, blue?...wait!...BUZZ! Remember the classic game of Simon?

Well, we have a build-your-own Simon kit that will sharpen your reaction time

while teaching you basic soldering (a useful skill in its own right).

After you have successfully built a working Simon game, you will have a

greater knowledge of through-hole soldering and the tools, techniques, and

terminology required to populate your own PCB prototype. Additionally, the source

code and design ﬁles are available, making this project a great entryway into

microcontrollers and embedded programming. Game on!

Kit includes:

•ATMega microcontroller

•Buzzer

•0.1μF Cap (qty: 2)

•10K Resistor

•LEDs (qty: 4)

•Slide Switch (qty: 2)

•Battery Clips (qty: 4)

•AA Batteries (qty: 2)

•Button pad

•Bezel

•Standoffs and screws (qty: 4)

•Simon PCB board

Kit Information & Instructions

Page 1

Don’t: Use the very tip of the iron.

Do: Use the side of the tip of the iron, “The Sweet Spot.”

Page 2

Do: Touch the iron to the component leg and metal ring at the

same time.

Do: While continuing to hold the iron in contact with the leg and

metal ring, feed solder into the joint.

Do: Use a sponge to clean your iron whenever black oxidization

builds up on the tip.

Don’t: Glob the solder straight onto the iron and try to apply the

solder with the iron.

Locate the 10K Resistor.

Bend the legs downward.

Locate the 10K Resistor

position on the board.

QUICKSTART - YOUR FIRST COMPONENT [ STEPS 1 T0 11 ]

Insert the resistor into the PCB.

Push the resistor in so it is nearly ﬂush with the board.

Slightly bend the legs outward to hold it in place.

Page 5

Feed solder into the joint.

Flip the board over. Hold the soldering iron’s “Sweet Spot” so it

touches both the leg and the metal ring. Hold for 2 seconds.

Clip off any excess legs.

Your solder joints should look like this - a tiny volcano.

First, pull away the solder. Second, pull away the iron.

Steps highlighted with a yellow warning triangle represent a

polarized component. Pay special attention to the component’s

markings indicating how to place it on the board.

Now that you’ve successfully soldered in the

resistor, use the same method to place and solder

the rest of the components.

Buzzer (alarm): Insert the buzzer. The “+” on the buzzer should

align with the white “+” on the board. Flip the board over and solder

into place.

ATMega (microcontroller): Looking at the bottom of the board,

insert the microcontroller. Make sure the notch on the chip aligns

with the white silk screen on the board. Flip the board over, then

begin to solder.

0.1μF Cap (decoupling cap): Insert the capacitors, ﬂip the board

over and solder.

Battery Clips x 4

Remember highlighted components are polarized.

NOW WORK ON THE TOP OF THE BOARD

Slide Switches (sound and power): Looking at the top of the board,

insert switches. Keep the iron tip away! Plastic melts easily. Flip

the board over, then begin to solder.

Battery Clips (hold batteries): Insert battery clips, make sure

clips point toward each other so the battery ﬁts. Ensure clips

are ﬂat against the board. Then solder from the bottom of board.

LEDs (indicator lights): Insert the four LEDs into the front of the

board. Each LED has a short leg and a long leg. The short leg

goes into the hole labeled “ .” Also make sure it sits ﬂush with

the PCB. Then solder into place.

FINAL ASSEMBLY

Screws x 4

AA Batteries (power source): Insert the batteries, following

“+” and “-” indicators on the board. Turn on the board and

verify the LEDs are ﬂashing.

Standoffs and screws (mechanical): Insert the screws

through the bezel and button pad, then twist standoffs onto

the protruding screw. Hand tighten.

AA Batteries x 2

Bezel (holds button pad): Attach to top. Lay bezel over button

pad, with notches for the screws pointing up.

Bezel

Button Pad (game control): Attach to top. Lay rubber button

pad over LEDs.

Button Pad

No screwdriver necessary.

Please only hand-tighten the screws and standoffs.

CREATE YOUR OWN PROJECT WITH SIMON

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU’RE DONE!!!

Your Simon game is now completed. Turn it on and have fun! If something is

not working (i.e. an LED won’t light up), please check out our troubleshooting

tips in the back of this booklet [ pages 16-19 ].

Did you know that your Simon is much more than it seems? It can be re-

programmed to do many different things! You can write code to change your

Simon into a new unique project. To learn more, please check out our online

tutorial here: sparkfun.com/tutorials/203

And for even more fun stuff go here: learn.sparkfun.com

EXTRA FUN

As an example of how the Simon is more than just a game, we have included a

special feature in the code. Just for fun, try this out. Don’t worry it won’t change

your Simon permanently.

Turn off power switch.

Press any one button.

While holding button down, turn back on.

Failing LEDs? Don’t fret, there is an easy way to ﬁx it! The most

common cause of a failing LED is incorrect polarity. We have

designed a special trick into the Simon PCB. You can simply

cut the two traces and close two jumpers. This will swap the

polarity without having to remove the LED.

TROUBLESHOOTING LEDSTROUBLESHOOTING LEDS

Page 17

Using a soldering iron, close both jumpers.

Using a hobby knife, cut both traces directly over the white dots.

Locate a piece of solder wick.

Did you accidentally solder a jumper between two legs? Don’t fret! Here is a

simple process using solder wick to remove the excess solder.

Page 18

TROUBLESHOOTING JUMPERS

Page 19

Place solder wick on top of solder.

Place iron on top of solder wick. Hold for 3-4 seconds.

Once the solder begins to ﬂow into the wick, pull the wick and iron

away at the same time.
