How to Build pedalSHIELD UNO

This is a 5 steps guide  to build

 

pedalSHIELD UNO. With all the materials on hand it takes around 2-3

hours to build it successfully. Take your time to double check every step and enjoy!

Step 0 – Prepare the Materials.

You need a solder iron,

 

lead and cutting pliers. Additionally cutter, scissors and pliers are convenient. 

The PCB has solder mask and plated holes, so it is easy to solder with any 15-30W cheap solder iron.

Keep in short hand the PCB plan and the Bill of Materials:
