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
35 right now, we are making holes for screws to hold the
37 there are two constraints between the hole and screw.
38 each hole needs to be big enough for the screw body to fit
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
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
