Parts

Required

Soldering

Hotswap sockets

1. Solder one pad.
2. While holding hotswap socket (fingers are fine), reflow solder and place socket down on pad.
3. Solder other pad.

• Note, don't hesitate to use a little extra solder, as that will help secure the socket and prevent it from being ripped off.

Microcontrollers

Orientation: Both microcontrollers one component face up and one component face down.

• Note, it is recommended to flash each microcontroller prior to soldering. See firmware section for more.

1. Insert headers from front, solder in from the back.
2. Place microcontroller one component face down and one componant face up.
3. Apply solder to all pins.
4. Use flush cutters or similar to trim excess from pins on each side.

Misc.

TRRS jacks

1. Position TRRS jack on front of PCB and secure with tape.
2. Apply solder to all four pins.
