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
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.
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.])

70 on the arduino, there's a hole on the top left, between the
71 orange reset button and black headers.

73 the blue box encloses the arduino hole and two deck holes.

82 (p [the "#6" part of "#6-32x3/8\"" is how big around the bolt is.
83 it is related to wire gauge.
84 bigger numbers mean larger screw.
85 smaller numbers means smaller screws.])

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

127 will unscrew it from the deck and you'll have to screw it
