Some of the steps in the build of this kit require the snipping component legs. If

you’re building this kit on your own, or with a someone else, we STRONGLY

recommend whoever is present is wearing safety glasses. When the legs are

snipped, the can fly off in unpredictable directions, at a high speed. Also, be sure to

follow the safety instructions that came along with your soldering iron. Wash your

hands after handling solder. Especially before eating. Be safe, and enjoy.

Assembling the PCB

Switch Installation:

Make sure that the switch

is being installed on the

top side of PCB. There is

no orientation to the

switch. Refer to these

photos.

Switch Soldering:

The switch needs to be standing perfectly

vertical on the PCB. We use a ‘Helping

Hands’ tool to hold the solder.

This way, your fingers hold the switch,

and the other hand is free to solder.

Solder one tab, and see if the switch is

90˚ to the PCB.

Resistor Preparation:

There are 2 resistors in the kit. One

100 Ohm (brown black brown), gets

installed into [R1]. The 220 Ohm (red-

red-red) gets installed in [R2].

Bend the legs like in the photos here,

with the leg as close as possible to the

body of the resistor.

Resistor placement and soldering:

1- Place the resistors in place as

the photo above.

2- Flare the legs

to hold the

resistors in place

3- Solder the 4

legs on the

bottom side of the

PCB.

4- While wearing

safety glasses,

Trim the excess.

Screw terminal placement and soldering:

1- Slide the 2 screw

terminals together joining them

into one single 4 pin strip.

2- The holes in

the screw

terminals need to

be aiming away

from the switch.

3- Solder all 4 pins.

Aligning and soldering the LED:

1- Notice the different lengths of

the legs on the LED. Leg #2 is

the longest. #1 is the second

longest, and #3 is the shortest.

The LED gets installed with leg

#1 closest to the edge of the

PCB.

Important to note:

The LED gets installed on the

bottom side of the PCB.

123

2- Slide the 3 LED legs down

through the holes in the PCB.

3- Leaving about

.25” of leg bend the LED so that it

can bend like the photo in step #4.

4- Bend the led like in this photo,

and hold it in place.

5- Solder the three legs of the LED,

and snip the excess.

Placing and installing the snap switch:

1- The snap switch gets installed

on the bottom side of the PCB.

The hinge side of the snap

switch goes on the indicated

side on the PCB.

2- Line up the 3 pins with the

three holes on the PCB.

3- Press firmly on the snap switch,

making sure it is flush with the

surface of the PCB.

4- Solder one pin, and check to

make sure the snap switch is flush

with the PCB.

5- Solder the other two pins.

Hinge

Peel the protective film

All of the acrylic parts have a cling film that protects the pieces during manufacturing

and transport. The film or tape may be blue, brown or white. Start at a corner, and

remove the film from both sides of each piece.

Ready the motor, motor mount, and fasteners

Line up the 2 long screws, 2 small washers, 2 motor mount acrylic pieces, and weld

nuts as you see below.

Motor mount arm side

2x 1” 4-40 screws

2x #4 weld nuts

2x #4 washers

Motor mount wire side

Nub

Attaching the motor to the mount

Hold the motor with the wires on the

left and away from you. The ‘nub’

facing you.

Place the arm side motor mount acrylic

piece over the motor, making sure that

the ‘nub’ fits in the hole in the mount.

Nub

Hold the other motor mount as

above. Place against the wire

side of the motor

Place the weld nuts into the holes on the

arm side of motor mount.

The weld nuts

Hold the weld nuts in place

with tape or your fingers. In

the next step we will be

screwing them in place.

Nub

Place a washer on each

of the long screws While holding the weld nuts in place, slide both screws

through the washers, motor mount, motor and screw into

the weld nut. For the moment, leave the screws loose

enough so that the motor mount plastic can wiggle a little.

With the screws a little loose, press

down against a flat surface, so that

the both bottoms of the motor

mount are flat.

Keeping the bottoms of the motor

mount flat against the surface,

tighten both screws. Do not over-

tighten, you may crush the motor.

Attaching the PCB assembly

Take the PCB that you’ve previously

assembled.

Place the PCB assembly over the

motor assembly.

Note how the acrylic tabs fit

through the holes in the PCB.

You will be using these nuts and screws to hold

secure the PCB to the motor mount.

3/8” 4-40 screws

4-40 nuts

Slide the nut into the

slotted area in the mount,

and start sliding the

screw through the hole in

the PCB.

Using your fingers,

tighten the screw.

Make sure the nut

does not slide out.

Finish tightening the

screw using a

screwdriver.
