23045a14 31 (p [the arduino comes with holes in it already, so we will make
32 some choices around those holes.
33 choosing the right drill bit depends on what job you are
34 doing.
35 right now, we are making holes for screws to hold the
36 arduino to the deck.
37 there are two constraints between the hole and screw.
38 each hole needs to be big enough for the screw body to fit
39 through it.
40 the holes also need to be smaller than the screw's thread.
41 since there are holes on the arduino already, the screw was
42 chosen to match it.
43 the screw was chosen so that the hole on the arduino was
44 bigger than the screw body and smaller than its thread.
45 we will choose the biggest drill bit that fits through the
46 hole on the arduino, then use that to drill holes in the
47 deck.])
