• 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

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

Product¶

HS-02: Controller

Procedure¶

1. Prepare Mounting Slot¶

1. 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

2. Separate the Controller Housing Base into the Controller Housing Mounting Slot
3. 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
