h1. Controller Assembly
{{>toc}}
h2. Tools
* Holoseat Test Stand with computer to operate it
* Soldering iron with stand
* Helping hands
* Exhaust fan
* Flush snips
* Safety glasses
h2. Materials
* Instant/super glue (prefer Loctite Super Glue Ultragel Control)
* Solder
* (1) HSC-01: Feather
* (1) HSC-02: Holoseat Controller Wing
* (1) HSC-03: Controller Housing Base
* (1) HSC-04: Controller Housing Top
* (1) HSC-05: 12 pin header
* (1) HSC-06: 16 pin header
* (1) HSC-07: Holoseat Custom Key Cap
* (1) HSC-08: TRRS Wing
* (1) HSC-09: Keyswitch
* (1) HSC-10: Controller Housing Mounting Slot
h2. Safety Issues
* Care must be taken when using the soldering iron, the tip is very hot
* Always wear safety glasses while working with soldering irons
* Avoid breathing in the soldering fumes, use a vent or hood if needed to provide adequate ventilation
h2. Product
HS-02: Controller
h2. Procedure
h3. 1. Prepare Mounting Slot
# Do a test fit (without glue) of the *HSC-03: Controller Housing Base* and *HSC-10: Controller Housing Mounting Slot* by sliding the *Controller Housing Base* into the *Controller Housing Mounting Slot*
*Insert Pic*
# Separate the *Controller Housing Base* into the *Controller Housing Mounting Slot*
# Apply super glue to the inner perimeter of the *Controller Housing Mounting Slot* where the *Controller Housing Base* will sit, taking care to keep glue out of the cut out for the slot; apply extra super glue to the large raised surface to ensure a strong bond
*Insert Pic*
# Slide the *Controller Housing Base* into the *Controller Housing Mounting Slot* and press the pieces together per the glue's instructions (typically 1 minute)
# Allow the glue to cure per its instructions ..
h3. 2. Solder Headers to Feather
*TBD by Bryan*
h3. 3. Assemble Controller Components
# Attach *HSC-08: TRRS Wing* to underside headers on *HSC-02: Holoseat Controller Wing*
*Insert pic*
# Attach *TRRS Wing + Controller Wing* to *Feather*
*Insert pic*
# Attach *HSC-09: Keyswitch* to *Controller Wing*
*Insert pic*
h3. Test Controller
*TBD by J. when test and firmware code is updated*
h3. Final Assembly
# Insert *Feather + Wings* into *HSC-03: Controller Housing Base*
*Insert Pic*
# Attach *HSC-04: Controller Housing Top* onto *Controller Housing Base* making sure the snap fit connection fully clicks and the inset over TRRS connector seats fully into the *Controller Housing Base*
*Insert Pic*
# Attach *HSC-07: Holoseat Custom Key Cap* to *Keyswitch*
*Insert Pic*
