**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.
