You’re nearly at the end, but the next part is critical and takes a ood bit of concentration. If you’re
feelin a bit strained, a break would de9nitely help. Reply to those unread messa es or prove
someone wron in Internet, for example. Mechanical parts are really delicate and will need your full
attention.

consideration:
* Check pot holes 9rst. If some are too ti ht, make them bi er with thin tweezers.
* Pots are really ti ht. Be SUPER CAREFUL when solderin , as its easy to burn headers or short with close by pins and
exposed vias. Pay special attention when solderin F_ATEN_1, POT_A2 or POT_A1
*POT_A1, POT_A2, and CUTOFF_1 need one of the location lu s to be cut, check silkscreen for details.
