Is that masking tape you are using to hold the board in place?
You might want to replace it with some Kapton tape. The masking tape will make a gummy mess after a while, then it will become imposable to remove if you ever need to. The blue tape works well to hold things in place for trial fits. Not for permanent use.
Yes it is. I agree with your comments. I am planning to make a trip to an electronics supply warehouse tomorrow and pick up some Kapton tape instead and pick up some 1000k resistors while I'm at it.
Thanks to everyone for your help so far. It is much appreciated.
One more quick question. There is a tab for a ground wire (so to speak) on the board just in the lower left of the picture. What purpose if any would this serve as far as wiring the decoder goes?
