## TODO
We will have a soldering course soon. Here is a list of what needs to be prepared

- [ ] Get 30x diffusers, both MINUS end BODY

## Building kits

The kits contain some parts to build the imponator. The resistors and capacitors are not included and need to be taken from the SMD parts books.

### possible build order

- leave film on acrylic, attach to protect leds
- tiny MCP - dot to arrow
- UART - dot to arrow
- R3, R4: 5.1kΩ
- R5 : 10kΩ
- C1, C9: 100nF
- C2: 1µF
- SW2, SW3
- SW1
- USB, place then solder from LED side
- test for short circuits
- program UDPI bootloader
- flash with arduino code in `sw`
- remove acrylic, remove film or scuff with sandpaper for diffuse view
- imponere your friends

### Tips

- practice moving parts around with tweezers
- lower heat: 280C
- small tips are bad at conducting heat
- hot air to remove parts if misplaced
- hot air to help seat USB after soldering
- maybe attach battery

### In the kit

- circuit board with LEDs (handle carefully)
- if you want to DIY leds with solder paste, ask us
- 2x buttons
- switch
- tiny MCU
- UART
- battery pack
- acrylic plate

### Not in the kit

- resistors
- capacitors
- M2 screws/bolts to attach acrylic plate
