03. Important Note
If you feel you're going to build this kit without looking at the steps, just
remember that it is very important to join the two PCB’s in a strict
parallel alignment. If you don't want the final build to have hard to press
buttons, please pay attention to that. We also recommand to have a look
to the steps 04_9 that require unexpected cuts for the potentiometers.
Don’t split the packs open & mix components, somes are virtually indistinguishable (like the 3 different color LED that all appear clear when inac-
tive). We strongly recommand to only take the component(s) you need
and let the other in their corresponding pack.

04_1. Diode 1N4148
This build has two dierent
diodes : a tiny one and a bigger
one. This steps only concern
the 1N4148, that´s to say the
tiny one. Please note that the
diode orientation has to match
the PCB silkscreen. The white
line on the silkscreen has to
match the black bar on the
component, as on the
following picture.
