Assembly Guides: [Board A](https://fasttube.de/bestueckung/FaSTGLETree/A.html), [Board B](https://fasttube.de/bestueckung/FaSTGLETree/B.html)
- It's recommended to make sure each PCB is in the best state it can be in first before combining them. Afterwards, soldering becomes more difficult.
- It's recommended to make sure each PCB is in the best state it can be in and has no short circuits before combining them. Afterwards, soldering becomes more difficult.
- For SMD parts, always solder a single pad/pin first before continuing to others
- Paz attention to the Pin-1-Marker! On ICs, it's usually a dot, circle or line. On the PCB, it's either an elongated line or a triangle.
- Pin 1 markings are the elongated silkscreen line and the dot/line on the IC
- LED directions are not marked. The LED arrow should always point to the tree trunk/inwards (Anode to tip of branch)
- The kit usually includes 3 or 4 different colors of LEDs. It's recommended to try and spread all colors across each visible surface.
- There's no pattern to whether the LED or Resistor is on top on the LED branches. Always check the assembly guide!
- J9 is usually not populated, it's left for external power
- The THT LED atop should have its leads shortened to ~7-10mm
- The THT LED atop is oriented using the flat side of its rim. The Flat side goes to the straight line, the round side to the rounded line
- Insert the coin cell with the + facing away from the tree's stem.
- Keep in mind the Errata section below
