Assembly troubleshooting

Work in Progress
These docs are still a work-in-progress and may not be fully baked just yet! Please contact me if any of it seems very wrong or needs extra clarification.
  • The machine activates even when its button isn't pressed? That's probably a fit problem.
    • Is the PCB flush with the enclosure bottom? It needs to be nestled all the way in there, so its top and the enclosure lip are flush. Check the PCB bottom for any soldered leads that can be clipped down.
    • It could also be that the actuator isn't screwed in all the way or there's some other gap there causing the issue.
  • Enclosure halves don't fit together well? Pop the enclosure open and check...
    • Are any wires in the way?
    • Is the button cap all the way into its cavity?
    • Are the knobs and switch clutches pushed all the way onto their components?
  • Other oddities
    • Is the PCB functioning as expected? If not, go back through the soldering instructions and verify each step's test passes.
    • Something else? Ask!
