2A0 Location & Parts List

Special note : the following component values may be changed from printed overlays : C401, C402, R214 & VR1 (VR1 is not supplied). All kits shipped since early February 2004 include the LogMod components. Update/feedback please?

As of July 2004 there are three revisions (2, 3 & 4, there was no 1) of the WBo2 version 2A0 Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
  • Latest 2A0 Rev-4 PCB first shipped mid July 2004.
  • Widely used 2A0 Rev-3 PCB first shipped mid October 2003 to July 2004.
  • Original 2A0 used the (first release) Rev-2 PCB.
The PCB rev number is printed on the solder side below the TE-WB2A0 lettering. As there are just small differences, these are highlighted in the notes below and the Changes/Modifications paragraph near the end of this document.

PCB Revisions

Note : no performance improvements were made with the Rev-3/4 PCB.

LSU/NTK support - Important WARNING

For the Rev-2/3 PCB, support for the NTK sensor requires a change in value of R214 from 910 ohm to 82k ohm. It is very important that this change is made as damage to the NTK sensor will result if the 910 ohm resistor is used with the NTK sensor. Note also that the table under the fuse is WRONG and the PCB shunts/linkd should ALWAYS be set in the LSU position, & NEVER the NTK position. Remember to use the correct flash file if you change the hardware (ie. R214 or J-NTK's position, see below).

Note that the Rev-4 PCB, instead of changing a resistor, has a jumper (labelled NTK beside the Amber/HEAT LED) which must be ON for the LSU, and OFF for the NTK. R214 in this case is 910R and an additional resistor RNTK (82k) is added.

Actual Component Value Overlay

The Rev-4 image at right (click on it for a x4 enlargement) gives the actual component value of all parts to be placed on the Rev-4 PCB. Special NOTE : This overlay is slightly different to the actual silkscreen and correctly shows most 100R resistors as 5% (none need to be 1%, but we originally specified R205 as 1%, but a 1% here does not add to accuracy).

Here's the Rev-3 enlargement.

Use this overlay if you have the Rev-2 PCB.

Designation Overlay

This is the Rev-4 overlaying showing the component designations (R22, C33, etc.) used on the PCB. (click on it for a x4 enlargement)

Constructed PCB images

These images should help you work out where all components go.

Here's the Rev-4 PCB (230 kbyte) with most components soldered. Not shown is the detail of the logger button mounting scheme shown here.

Here's the same information for the Rev-3 PCB (250 kbyte).

Here's the original Rev-2 PCB (328 kbyte).

Parts List

Click on the image to view some of the components that people sometimes have difficulty identifying. These include the inductors, the thermistor, and the 1% and 5% resistors. Note also that none of the 100 ohm resistors used in WBo2 need be any more accurate than 5%.

Resistors are shown in ohms and an R (=1), k (kilo=1000) or M (Mega=1,000,000) indicates both the multiplier and the position of the decimal point. Examples are :

100R 100 ohms
22k 22 k ohms, or 22,000 ohms
1M 1 M ohms, or 1,000,000 ohms
2M2 2.2 M ohms, or 2,200,00 ohms
4R7 4.7 ohms
0R22 0.22 ohms, or 220 milliohms

Capacitors are measured in micro Farads (μ = greek mu = 10-6 F), nano Farads (n = nano = 10-9 F), and pico Farads (p = pico = 10-12 F). If the value is not clearly shown in μF then it will normally be measured in picro Farads (pF) in the form of vvm where vv is the value and m is the multiplier as a power of 10. Examples are :

47 μF 47 micro Farads (clearly printed)
100 10 picro farads (pF), 10 -> value, multiplier -> 0
471 470 picro farads (pF), 47 -> value, multiplier -> 1
474 47 0000 pico Farads (pF), or 470 nano Farads (nF), or 0.47 μF

Other common values are : 105 = 1.0 μF (1000 nF, or 1,000,000 pF), 104 = 0.1 μF (100 nF, or 100,000 pF), 103 = 0.01 μF (10 nF, or 10,000 pF), 102 = 0.001 μF (1 nF or 1,000 pF), 101 = 0.0001 μF (100 pF), 100 = 0.00001 μF = (10 pF)

Resistors in beige or brown (generally) have a tolerance of 5%, and resistors in light blue or green have a tolerance of 1% and the two types should not be mixed. Capacitors are shown in μF (micro Farad), nF (nano Farad) and pF (Pico Farads).

Extra components for the older Rev 2 board are shown in orange. Some of these have been deleted or changed for the Rev 3 PCB.

Changes from the LSU (ie. the standard version) to the NTK version are shown in red italics Note that the only change is to R214 which is 910R for the standard (ie. LSU) version and 82k for the NTK version. It is also very important that an NTK sensor is not used on a standard version as damage to the NTK sensor will result. Note also that the firmware is different for the NTK and the LSU versions (see the re-flash software page for more information). D401 should now be an IN4007 but was oroginally specified as 1N4148.

Changes/Modifications

General Changes, possible modifications

C401 was originally specified as 470nF but some applications, particularly multi cylinder or high revving engines may require this value to be reduced to as low as 100nF. The Rev-3/4 PCB has the option of a 5k preset pot VR1 that was added over the Rev-2 PCB. Normally VR1 is bypassed with the VR1 wire link but VR1 can be installed and may improve RPM pickup performance for some applications. VR1 is not supplied in kits.

Rev-4 PCB - Minor Updates :

The Rev-4 PCB cleans up the redundant J2 but adds a jumper and resistor to allow easier changing between NTK and Bosch sensors. Note that the silkscreen under the fuse is WRONG and the shunt/link positions should be always be set in the LSU position. All Rev-4 PCBs are now 100% bare board tested (BBT).

Rev-3 PCB changes from Rev-2 PCB :

The Rev-3 PCB adds a press button switch to control on-board logging. Note : This functionality can also be added to the Rev-2 PCB. Note that the silkscreen under the fuse is WRONG and the shunt/link positions should be always be set in the LSU position.

Rev-2 PCB Component Updates :

On-Board Logging Modifications :

From firmware rev 0029, WBo2 supports on-board logging using a 32 kbyte serial EEPROM. The button starts and stops logging, and controls playback. The Rev-3/4 PCB actually has the press button holes on the PCB, but the Rev-2 PCB can add the same functionality almost as easily. See the WBo2 Logging Info. and Specs. page for more information.
