Transient Modules 4R Manual

Transient Modules 4R DIY build manual - Version 1.0
Hello!
This guide is for building the 4R module from Transient Modules.
Since it is a 2HP module, it's slightly tricky to assemble. Take it easy, and
even if you're an experienced DIYer, please read ALL the steps thoroughly
before starting, as some of them are crucial and others not so obvious.
The 4R kit consists of two boards and all the parts comes in one bag.
See the lists below to identify each one of them easily before start building.

TIP: (in the photo) you can put a small amount of
solder on any pad before placing the header. It
will help to keep it attached to the board while
you move it to ensure it is 90º and during solder
process.
