It is recommend to assemble OpenSpool using the custom PCB. You can send the Gerber files included in this repository to a PCB fabricator of your choice, such as [OSH Park](https://oshpark.com/).

You will also need to 3D print the enclosure. The print files can be found on [MakerWorld](https://makerworld.com/en/models/944499-openspool-mini#profileId-910780).

You can use any breadboard or splicing tool to connect the wires, however the linked mini breadboard is recommended as it is small enough to fit inside the enclosure.

## 🛠️ Assembly
161+
162+
Once you have all of the parts, you can begin assembly.
163+
164+
### With Custom PCB
165+
166+
1. Solder the following components onto the PCB:
167+
1. Two 10k resistors
168+
2. One BSS138 MOSFET
169+
3. Four sets of 8 straight headers, into the two pairs of columns on the top of the PCB
170+
4. One set of 8 right-angle headers into the row of vias just below the OpenSpool logo on the BACK side of the PCB
171+
5. Three right-angle headers in the top-left corner of the PCB
172+
2. Solder eight right-angle headers onto the PN532
173+
3. Solder three straight headers onto the LED. Make sure to solder them onto the side with the "Din" pin
174+
4. Place the Wemos D1 onto the headers and solder it on. The top of the Wemos D1 should face up, with the USB-C port facing the bottom of the PCB
175+
5. Use jumper wires to connect both the PN532 and the LED to their respective headers
176+
6. Flip the toggle switches on the PN532 to enable SPI mode (see image below)

If you are not using the custom PCB, you will need to connect the wires to each pin manually. Below is the wiring diagram:
