Lets put our SS assembly tips / gotchas in a thread. Here is mine, I discovered last night.
This has been mentioned before, but I think its critical for all to know.
In
Step 8 of the SS Hub Manual ... it states:
Insert the 4 eight pin headers as shown and solder then in place.
Many (not all) of those in the 2011 SS COOP will find only some (maybe half?) of these 8-pin headers in the main bag.
Do not worry, the rest of the header pins were put into a different bag, so look in another bag to find the other (missing) 8-pin headers.
This hit me last night, thought I was missing parts ... and I've read it mentioned in the COOP thread, but I still think its critical that all putting together SS Hubs read this, as you'll also probably wonder the same thing when you get to step 8 and look for those 8-pin header pins !!
Overall the COOP was done so well and so well organized and labeled ... I am amazed ... and thankful to Bill and RJ !
Cheers,
Scott
