Preparing the pots

All pots must have their legs extended using bus bar wire in order to connect to the Hardware PCB. The amount of bus bar needed is approximately 0.5” per leg. An effort should be made to keep the bus bar at a 90-degree angle, centered on each leg, but precise alignment is not necessary since the bus bar has a lot of play when mounting the pots to the PCB. The most important thing is to “trim” the bus bar where it meets the solder lug, so that it sits flush with the lugs (see photos). Finally, the anti-rotation tab must be clipped or snapped off
