Gather components and tools.

Tools required:

• Soldering iron with fine tip. at least 30Watts.
• Box cutter/razer blade
• helping hands clamps
• wire snips
• wire stripper or skill

Test and customize on a breadboard to make sure everything works properly.

Tip. Use an extra Dip socket stacked up while programming, connecting/disconnecting is easy and wont damage the pins of the tiny. When the programming is finalized and tested remove the extra socket for solid connect that won't vibrate loose.

You can still remove the tiny dip later if needed, just be careful not to bend the pins too much or they'll break off. -$1.1 :(

Test fit components to measure pcb size.

Be patience and take your time place all the parts in a small footprint. about 30mm x 12mm is what I ended up with, very small.

take note of the order, this can make some parts much easier to solder.

Finalize design and draw schematic. cut pcb to size.

Place 1 or 2 parts at a time and solder in place.

start with the large parts first. the 8 pin Dip holder, note orientation of dimple.

create ground rail, and connect components.

leave space for wires that may connect to external parts like the rx or leds.

solder wires and connect servo/jst ports if used. soldering directly is also an option.

Test and make adjustments if needed.

Connect and go ride! or drive, hack, fly....
