Step 8Closing up
Ok, your Pixecutor is hopefully working now, time to put the case back together.
Before you do so, it's critical that you put a piece of electrical tape over the PIC - otherwise, it will be shorted out by the conductive coating on the inside of the back cover.
If you have a Dremel or similar tool, you may want to grind away some of the back plastic at the point where the PIC would touch it. (You can get the case back together without doing this, but it's a tight fit.) You don't necessarily have to cut all the way through the plastic, just make it a bit thinner in that area.
Fit the case halves together, ignoring the flip-up cover for now. Put that little piece of plastic back in at the last moment; it's one of the pegs that the cover pivots on. Note that it goes in upside-down relative to the peg on the other side (that's held in place with a screw). Replace the four screws you removed. Snap the screen cover back onto the pegs, assuming that you want to use it. Enjoy your juicier JuiceBox!
