Step 8

Flip PCB2 to the bottom side. Solder the power header. Make sure the key opening is oriented 

in the same way as in the picture below. It's easier to avoid bent pins if you attach the power 
cable in the header while you are soldering.

CON1

 2x5pin

Step 9

Flip PCB2 to the bottom side. Now it's time to solder trimmers. They are not sensitive to 
mounting direction.

TRbal1, TRbal2

 50R multi turn trimmer 2pcs

TRgain1, TRgain2

 50k multi turn trimmer 2pcs
