HEXMIX PRESOLDERED V2 - ASSEMBLY GUIDE Rev. July 18
THANKS FOR CHOOSING ONE OF OUR SEMI KITS!
What you have here is a semi kit, where all components are soldered in the boards and you will be doing
the final assembly of mechanical components, testing and calibration.
This is a quite complex build. If you are not an experienced DIYer you might find yourself in trouble. Some
steps are not obvious, and some components tricky to solder, so even if you're an experienced DIYer
please read the steps thoroughly before starting.
Also, even if this is a semi kit,
TROUBLESHOOTING SKILLS ARE MANDATORY and you should be an
experienced DIYer with basic schematics reading skills.
This semi kit is not suitable for beginners.
HAVE FUN!
