Questions about the panda PCB

agref · 1 February 2023 10:13

Hi all,

I am trying to make my first panda setup, I ordered the pcb a while back. And finaly got a hold on some teensy’s.
So now I am trying to solder it together. But I don’t see where to put what component. Only the resistors are marked.
Mainly diodes and capacitors.

Also I am missing 1 capacitor. the 100nF. Is this one really needed.
and I was wondering if i can replace the 2.2K pullup resistors with another size? It seems I don’t have those anymore.

Is there somewhere an assembly video or thread for this panda board? I have searched on the forum but cannot find one.

Kind regards
Jef Uytterhoeven

Hey Jeff,
Did you ever find this info or complete your own working PANDA board? I am just about to start mine & would appreciate any tips/info.
Thanks in advance

Hi , like Keegan4123 said they should be the same capacotor.
That board is working in a tractor.

Just wondering how you work out the orientation of the power module
Many thanks

This is late and you’ve probably solved the problem… but I compared the power module data sheet with the VX7805-1000 and K7805M-1000R3 data sheets to figure out which was pin 1 then I traced the wires on the PCB & used the Panda board schematic to ensure 5V was going to Vo.
