### Step 2 - Solder
* Use the smallest soldering iron tip you have.
* Use solder flux.
* Use solder flux, always keep the pins "wet".
* Soldering iron temperature set to around 300°C.
* Use tweezers to hold components.
* Tricks for Type-C socket and 4020 RGB LEDs.

### Step 3 - Firmware
* Use a USB cable to connect the PCB to a PC/Mac computer while pressing down the small button on Raspberry Pi Pico. An explorer window will pop up. If it doesn't show up, navigate to a disk labeled "RPI-RP2".

* Gap between the plate and the PCB is about 3.4mm. There're many ways to fix and fasten boards and case. Here's my solution, I reprocessed the screws and spacers as they didn't come with proper length.

* Use some anti-slip silicone pads.
* Another way is to use a long M3 screw from top side and a nut at the bottom side. Between PCB and plate, use a 3.5mm length M3 spacer with no threads. You can also 3D print some spacers using provided **/PRODUCTION/screw_spacer.stl**.
* Don't forget get some anti-slip silicone pads.
