Here's the table from the SC-II instruction sheet.
Unfortunately the instructions online from Henning's which I downloaded and used for reading didn't show the same. I used the diagram out of the Chuff Generator and worked from the .PDF file I had on my tablet. Because I'm not an electronics guy, the square pad didn't mean anything to me, just a design choice or possibly for other use. So I used the logic that the diagram showed the Cruise Commander as solder side down, Component side up oriented the way it was which matched the Cruise Commanders instructions so with that, the Super Chuffer would be the same, solder side down, component side up and oriented with the pins to the right, 1 at the top and 10 at the bottom. I wish I would have seen that bit of information in the instructions I had and assumed were the most current. The instructions were easier to read with the lit up screen and larger text size I could get on my tablet versus the paper due to a great astigmatism... Plus I had those before the cards were delivered... SO... I guess I just had an expensive lesson in electronics. Square pad is #1...
For your future instructions, I'd recommend a photo of the pads with numbers pointing out the square one. Do what I tell my people, cater to the lowest common denominator so that anyone will get it. In this case, that would be me... 2 cards smoked... ****...
