This is a complete parts list needed to build the 4-port Node Assassin
described in the files in this directory. Many parts can be substituted if you
are unable to find the exact part mentioned. If you replace a part, please
ensure that it is electrically and mechanically compatible.

1x  Easy-Labs PADS4 (or equiv)
1x  74HC32  (High Current Quad OR gate)
1x  74HC540 (High Current Hex Inverter)
1x  74HC541 (High Current Hex Buffer)
3x  LTV-846 (Quad Optical Isolators)
8x  10mA (or lower) Green LEDs
4x  10mA (or lower) Red LEDs
4x  10mA (or lower) Yellow or Orange LEDs
20x 330 ohm 0.25w resistors
3x  0.1uF Polarized Capacitors
8x  5V+ Zener Diodes
40x 2.54mm Pitch Standard Hight Inline Connectors (4x4, 12x2)
20x 2.54mm Pitch Extra Length Inline Connectors (3x6, 1x2)
1x  Micro Momentary Contact Switch
4x  4-Position female 2.54mm pitch connectors
12x 2-Position female 2.54mm pitch connectors

Wire lengths are suggested. In many cases you can use less, but the lengths
recommended below provide healthy overhead. Colours are likewise adjustable.
The colours mentioned are chosen to match with the diagrams provided.

Board Wiring:
6'  Black wire-wrap wire
6'  Red wire-wrap wire
6'  Green wire-wrap wire
6'  Orange wire-wrap wire
6'  Yellow wire-wrap wire

Node Cables:
20' Black 24awg Stranded Cable
20' Red 24awg Stranded Cable
20' Yellow 24awg Stranded Cable
20' Green 24awg Stranded Cable

When creating the node cables, you may want to get a longer length of black
wire as you will use extra to "fan out" from the node-end of the cable when
connecting the two extra connectors.

Here is a block diagram of the wires you will need to make for each node:

If your node's power LED header is a 3-Position connector, simply swap the
connector sleeve from your chassis with the Power LED 2-position sleeve from
the Node Assassin.

If you do not care about connecting the node's chassis' front panel connectors,
you can forgo adding the somewhat tricky male pass-through pins.
