How to Build pedalSHIELD
This is a 5 steps guide to build pedalSHIELD. With all the materials on hand it takes around 2 hours to
build it successfully.
Step 1 – Prepare the Materials.
Keep in short hand the PCB plan and the Bill of 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 very easy to
solder with any 15-30W cheap solder iron.
