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:
