Diodes D1 and D14 are shown as 1N4003. Any 1N400x series diode can be used here.
STP36NF06L MOSFETs are logic-level N-channel devices. For use on this PCB maximum current per channel is 2
amps (do not exceed this). STP20NF06 can be used as an alternative.
Maximum current for the whole board should not exceed 16 amps.
3-way and 2-way terminal blocks are 5.08mm pitch but a 5mm part will also fit.
The PIC16F628A needs to be programmed with the correct firmware (see firmware section). If you bought the kit,
this code is already programmed into the supplied 16F628A.
C2/C4 are 2.5mm radial lead multilayer ceramic Y5V or X7R dielectric
The LED current limit resistors R1-R8 are 330R. Don't use a lower value resistor for these as it will affect the output voltage
from the PIC I/O pin reducing the voltage at the MOSFET gate.
All components used in this kit can be sourced from Rapid Electronics
Standard parts are used in this project and should be easy to source from distributors world wide.
