Assembly Instructions
THIS PAGE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS
This is in no way shape or form the only way to assemble a PropController. Part Numbers referenced are taken from the Ethernet PropController BOM.
Tips
- Start by checking the PCB for any obvious faults, missing/broken traces, holes that aren't clear, etc.
- Clean the PCB with Rubbing Alcohol (atleast 70%) or other PCB cleaner. (Not required, makes things a bit easier though).
- Get your parts together in order of assembly step, and ensure you have the correct number of all needed.
