I've added YouTube videos to the wiki that show the entire build process of a 4.3 HeaterMeter in all boring detail. There's not much to it except staring down at a green PCB with parts going into it as I struggle to talk and solder at the same time. People have asked for it though so maybe it will help someone or at least build confidence when you see just how easy it is!
Base Board Assembly
Oops looks like I can't have two videos in once message. No worries though, I made a playlist with both the button board and base board videos.
I did the LCD / Base board first because I think it is a little easier to get started with. I shot it with autofocus on and it seemed the focus kept trying to hunt every time my fingers got into the frame so I did the base board version with manual focus set about half an inch above the workspace and it seems everything was a little fuzzy. Suggestions from the Youtube stars we have here are welcome because I am looking to add a couple more videos to the list.
