BEFORE STARTING THE KIT...
Before starting this kit, prepare the following tools:
● Soldering iron
● Multi-meter
● Flush cutters
● Smaller pliers
● n2. hex screwdriver or allen key (enclosed with kit)
● Phillips screwdriver
● Wrench No. 8
● Protective eyewear
● Isopropyl a smaller and clean brush (optional)
We suggest that you work in a clean and a well lit and ventilated environment to avoid accidents or
losing any of the small components. Also briefly go through this guide and make sure that you
understand all the steps before you start soldering.
When you are done with soldering, you would probably like to calibrate your Popcorn. It is pretty
simple. Please check the info about firmware v1.1 and calibration guide
