Many thanks for an interesting and informative video! I'll refer to your guide when building my DIY Shades 😎 Whilst doing repair work, you placed aluminium foil over some parts ( 8:40 ). Was this to prevent them from being desoldered due to the hot air? If so, couldn't kapton tape have been used instead?
If you have a PCB that comes with it's CAD files you can load (or import) it into kicad and have that build you an interactive ibom file, which will make assembly SO much easier. In this case the original was most probably an eagle .brd file, which kicad can import directly, other formats, in my experience can be exported from it's native application as an eagle .brd then imported into kicad.
How have I never thought of soldering the power connectors by attaching them to the cable before?! Game changer
Now this is a DIY video, great work 👏
Tough build with that board! I like to solder on the IC's first with SMD. That way I have more room to the get the iron in there for drag soldering.

Straight over my head, no clue such a thing was a thing, wow, I have homework to do!
My boy you have done it again!
Has anyone ever spoken to you about your face and macaulay culkin's face
