Hey Guys,
When I started this adventure, I was to post plenty of pictures and ask any questions when unsure. I've asked honest questions, Wanting to know if what I've done so far was the correct way, and I've gotten little or no answers. I apologize if I came across as a know-it-all in a previous post. I didn't mean to because I don't. I was trying to add a little humor. So, I'm asking again. Is there anything in the work I've completed on the Control Board or the Backplanes that needs correcting? Before I move on. I want to do things the right way. If anyone would still like to lead in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thank You
Doug

Doug,
First, thank you for posting your build pictures, it's always interesting reviewing other peoples experience building these projects. Having said that, my day job has been crazy busy and I have not had the chance to post on this forum lately.
Overall your progress looks very good and I do not see anything requiring immediate correction before proceeding.
The only feedback I have relates to the PEM nut soldering. It's difficult to accurately evaluate the solder joints with shadows and reflections on your somewhat low resolution pictures, however see below for examples of a few I would touch up with a hot iron and liquid flux. The edges appear rough and jagged. See second picture for example of what you should shoot for in solder quantity and appearance.

That's what I'm talking about. Tell me when my work looks like Ca-Ca. The last pic was my first try at the PEM nuts. I think the rest of them look a little better after I calmed down a bit. Nowhere in the neighborhood of yours though, Maybe one day. What are you using to take your pictures. I've taken tons and can't get them as clear as yours when zooming in. Again, Thank You for your help.
