Building MHF-002 step by step

I first time just took parts from Arduino Mega Pro and solder them to the PCB at right places, then I tested I it works and it worked.

Then I added one subsystem at time and tested that. This way it was not too much complicated and I wrote SW for each test extra. Also it makes more familiarity with the whole system, as it is build by logical steps.

Problem is, that smaller parts are difficult to solder, when larger parts are already there.

Building it easier way

Decide, which all subsystems are to be used, then solder the MCU first, then the RAMs, then the SMD caps and resistors and diodes, then ICs, then normal caps, then connectors, modules and pinheaders.

Submodules links
Each submodule have its own description in logs. There is also schema, and top and bottom view where the parts mentioned are shown in green. Still is recomended to use KiCad and the full project files as main reference, but this should help with orientation.
