Build Instructions According to Module-Based Design

Source of Kit

Build Instructions from Folgertech

These contain details, but procedures are inefficient and not in the same order as should happen in a swarm XM build. These are modified for the OSE case, though individual details are still relevant.

  • Folgertech's Google Drive - [2]
