					**TODO PIX completed PCB assembly**
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					## Step 1: Get the necessary tools
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					**TODO PIX all tools necessary**
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					- Base PCB with all components soldered
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					- Vertical PCB with all components soldered
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					- A soldering iron
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					- Solder
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					**If you don't have a base and vertical PCB, see `Appendix A: Printed Circuit Boards` for information on how to get them.**
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					## Step 2: 3D-printed parts
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					**TODO PIX all 3D-printed parts**
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					- PCB anchor
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					- PCB assembly jig
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					**If you don't have these 3D-printed parts, see `Appendix B: 3D-Printed Parts` for information on how to get them.**
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					## Step 3: Attach the PCB anchor to the base PCB
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					**TODO PIX pcb anchor into base**
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Alignment is not crucial here; in later steps, the PCB assembly jig will be used to ensure alignment.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					## Step 4: Attach the vertical PCB to the PCB anchor
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					**TODO PIX putting vertical PCB into PCB anchor**
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Again, alignment is not crucial here.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					## Step 5: Put the PCBs into the PCB assembly jig
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					**TODO PIX putting base PCB into assembly jig**
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Make sure that the PCBs are seated fully and completely in the assembly jig, as alignment is crucial.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					## Step 6: Solder pads from the two PCBs together
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					**TODO PIX solder being applied to shared pads**
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					- Set the soldering iron's temperature to higher than normal, as the pads are large and shed heat quickly
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					- Apply generous amounts of solder to ensure a good connection and good mechanical strength
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					## Step 7: All done!
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					**TODO PIX completed PCB assembly**
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Congrats, you finished assembling the electronics! Pat yourself on the back.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					When you're ready, proceed to `3. Enclosure Assembly` to continue.
