How to mount encoder #20

Closed tim-hilt closed 1 year ago

tim-hilt commented 1 year ago

I have ordered all required parts to build my Hillside. The only thing I don’t really know with is how to solder the encoders. One of the holes in the PCB doesn’t seem to be wide enough.

Here’s a photo of what I mean:

How am I supposed to deal with this? Do I just cut off the second wide leg?

Tim, Yes, just cut off the circled wide leg. I'll update the docs if it's not there. A wide leg hole and LED would not go well together. I hope you like the board.

Thanks for the response! :) I’m very excited to see how the Hillside works for me! Thank you!
