A*B+C v1.0 -  ASSEMBLY GUIDE – Rev. July 17

THANKS FOR CHOOSING ONE OF OUR KITS!

This manual has been written taking into account the common issues that we often find people 
experience in our workshops. The order in which the components are placed on the board is 

meant to make assembly as easy as possible.

Some steps are not obvious, so even if you're an experienced DIYer please read the steps 
thoroughly before starting.

If this is your first project, please read this article before you start assembling the kit:
