Pepper build suggestion #1

Closed ilionic closed 3 years ago

ilionic commented 4 years ago

Recently finished the build but got step 11. wrong - attaching LED bar graph upside down. That was quite challenging component to desolder and replace ( ended up ordering new one ). Perhaps worth adding a note for beginners like me to make sure LED bar graph text and cut corner should be facing downwards. Thanks

I recently got a Hakko FR-301 desoldering gun and it has been a lifesaver. I thought I'd rarely use it, but it has paid for itself in less than a month. Highly recommended... I can't believe I went so long without one.

Nice one, I am pretty sure Hakko doing great job here but need to justify such investment if you are desoldering lots of multi pin components.
