Soldering Pi2Go Lite

First check which version of the main PCB you have. It is marked above the left motor
"Pi2Go-Lite v1.x". There are minor changes to some parts of the build.

•

v1.0 (initial release) - Yellow

•

v1.1 (from 20th October 2014) - Yell0w

•

v1.2 and later (from 15th November 2014) - Orange
