28 (p [choosing the right drill bit depends on what job you are doing.
29 right now, we are making holes for screws to hold the
30 arduino to the deck.
31 this means the hole needs to be big enough for the
32 screw body to fit through.
33 we want the screw to stay put once it's in place.
8923a50f 34 we also want the drill bit to be smaller than the
35 diameter of the thread.
36 the screw was chosen so that the hole on the arduino
37 was bigger than the body and smaller than the thread.
38 we will choose the biggest drill bit that fits through
39 the hole on the arduino.])

76 orange reset button and black headers.

87 (p [the "#6" part of "#6-32x3/8\"" is how big around the bolt is.
88 it is related to wire gauge.
89 bigger numbers mean larger screw.
6e7c78dd 90 smaller numbers means smaller screws.]

101 each other.
102 this is related to the angle of the thread, which is also
103 called pitch.
104 it is a count of how many times the thread wraps around one
105 inch of the screw body.])

107 wrench, can exert force to spin the screw.])

9f651996 123 hole so the screw can come up through it.

125 direction as before.
126 tighten until the screw head touches the deck.

129 as it was before tightening the screw.]))

133 can the arduino board still rotate a few degrees?
134 warning, if you rotate the arduino board too much, you
135 will unscrew it from the deck and you'll have to screw it
9f651996 136 back in.
137 rotating a few degrees should be ok.]))

139 :title [arduino board move relative to deck]

141 the deck.])

143 on the deck.])))
