=== Separate 'CN-Tower-Resistor' PCB and Main PCB === | |||
Using your hands and a pliers, twist the PCB to break away the mouse-bites connecting the 'CN-Tower-Resistor' PCB and Main PCB. | |||

=== Solder right angle header to 'CN-Tower-Resistor' PCB === | |||
Solder the Right Angle Header to the 'CN-Tower-Resistor' PCB. | |||
* Make sure the plastic is on the side of the PCB with the white outline. | |||
* The 3x2 programming header can be used to support the PCB while soldering right angle header. This allows it to lay flat on a work surface and not tip over when applying the solder. | |||

=== Solder down ATTiny25 micro controller. === | |||
This should already be taped down to your PCB panel in the correct orientation, but verify the chip orientation matches that of the silkscreen. | This should already be taped down to your PCB panel in the correct orientation, but verify the chip orientation matches that of the silkscreen. | ||
=== Solder programming header to Main PCB (Optional) === | |||
=== Solder'CN-Tower-Resistor' PCB perpendicular to Main PCB === | |||
* A roll of Electrical Tape is about the correct height to aid in this next step. | |||
* Place the Main PCB atop the electrical tape, with the 'CN-Tower-Resistor' PCB inserted below and supported by the work surface. | |||
* '''Solder only the First pin right angle header!''' (the one closest to the viewer in the photo | |||

* Pickup the whole assemble, and while reheating the solder joint of the first pin, adjusting the positioning of the 'CN-Tower-Resistor' PCB to be perpendicular over the LEDs on the Main PCB. | |||

:'''A:''' Provide regulate 5V programming header, either via the pin header if installed, or soldered directly to the vias if you choose to leave it off. Since ever hacker space is a bit different we left it as an exercise to those spaces. | :'''A:''' Provide regulate 5V to labelled points on the programming header, either via the pin header if installed, or soldered directly to the vias if you choose to leave it off.
