@ -8,21 +8,21 @@ Assembly of a stick is pretty straightforward, but there are some choices that c
following is the most consistent way I've found to put one together. This is assuming a v4.2 or beyond stick, with two
panels to make a long standard stick, and the frame made of pieces.
1. Prepare the frame top pieces --- `frame-piece-top-left-or-right`: this is your best shot to get auxillary buttons,
panel connectors, and the like installed, so do it now, and give them a good tighten. You shouldn't need to adjust
these again, so finish their installation while the pieces are free.
1. This of course includes decorative plates --- e.g. `misc-decorative-plate-aux-control-three-button-cluster` ---
you may choose to use. These are held to the top pieces by the buttons or component mounting screws.
2. Start the top panels --- `top-panel-(inset|overhang)-*`: you want both to get the components installed now
when it's easy, and to make sure that the overall assembly works with your components, so again get your buttons,
lever, etc., in place. You can secure them at this point.
1. Prepare the frame top pieces: this is your best shot the e.g. Neutrik plates for the USB mount, SPDT switches, etc.
installed, so do it now, and give them a good tighten. You shouldn't need to adjust these again, so finish their
installation while the pieces are free.
1. You could also do the decorative plates and top buttons, but it might be just as well to leave those for step 7,
just to make sure the buttons don't get in the way of other buttons or a lever or so on.
2. Start the top panels: you want both to get the components installed now when it's easy, and to make sure that the
overall assembly works with your components, so again get your buttons, lever, etc., in place. You can secure them at
this point.
1. If you are using a button decorative plate that spans two panels --- e.g.
`src/misc-decorative-plate-dir_arc-plus-w-30mm-and-sega-2p-plus-one` --- take care to align the two panels as
tightly as possible, and accurately, as they will be hard to adjust once everything is secured and in the frame.
2. If using a lever, don't forget the lever mount spacer --- `src/misc-lever-mount-sanwa-seimitsu` --- if you want
it, and tighten those mounting bolts now as well.
3. Create the frame box by combining your `frame-piece-*` parts together. This will be relatively stable just via
friction fit.
`misc/decorative-plate-dir_arc-plus-w-30mm-and-sega-2p-plus-one` --- take care to align the two panels as tightly
as possible, and accurately, as they will be hard to adjust once everything is secured and in the frame.
2. If using a lever, don't forget the lever mount spacer --- `misc/lever-mount-sanwa-seimitsu` --- if you want it,
and tighten those mounting bolts now as well.
3. Create the frame box by combining your frame piece parts, box or extended, together. This will be relatively stable
just via friction fit.
4. Rest the frame top-up on a desk, and put the standoffs through the holes. This will probably be tight, and you may
even need a rubber mallet or similar to drive the standoffs through the holes.
5. Insert the top panels into the frame.
