Assembling up the hardware consists of two main assembly:

• Soldering the PCB
• CADing the enclosure

Soldering the PCB

The diagram below, along side the table show which component goes on each pad. Also attached is the video that demonstrate how to solder the SMD components, and tips and tricks for soldering the board in recommended order.

CADing the Enclosure

SolidWorks must be installed before beginning this tutorial. As of writing this, SolidWorks is only available on Windows Operating System. For a refresher of SolidWorks, refer to the SolidWorks tutorial.

Alongside the building the enclosure, there're a few files that's provide that's used during the assembly portion of the tutorial. They are in the mcad folder in the project's GitHub repository.

Checkpoint

As the end of this module, the following should be completed:

• Soldering of the PCB
• CADing the Enclosure for the Hardware

The next step is to integrate the hardware with the website/software.
