BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS MAKE ASSEMBLY QUICK AND EASY.  I SPENT AN AFTERNOON
STUFFING THE BOARDS, AND I DID THE FINAL ASSEMBLY AND CHECKOUT THE NEXT
DAY, PERHAPS 4 TO 5 HOURS TOTAL.  NO SPECIAL TOOLS ARE NEEDED FOR ASSEMBLY
JUST A GOOD SOLDERING IRON WITH A FINE TIP AND THIN GAUGE SOLDER, FLUSH
CUTTERS FOR TRIMMING COMPONENT LEADS, AND SOME CLEAR NAIL POLISH FOR
SECURING SEVERAL NUTS.  I ALSO NEEDED A MAGNIFER AND GOOD LIGHTING FOR
SOLDERING THE TINY COMPONENT PADS.  A DIGITAL MULTIMETER IS REQUIRED FOR A
FEW FINAL CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS.  I BUILT THE UPPER BOARD FIRST SEE FIGURE
10.  THIS BOARD HAS ALL OF THE SWITCHES AND CONTROLS, THE ORGANIC LED OLED
DISPLAY AND INDICATOR LEDS, AND AN ATMEGA328P MICROCONTROLLER.  JACKS FOR A
KEYER PADDLE, AN EXTERNAL KEY, AND HEADPHONES ARE MOUNTED UNDER THE BOARD,
