Two comments. Don’t forget to remove the white paper cover from the buzzer on the front of the controller, it says to do so it is just easy to overlook. Also, I have a leftover part from this step. It is a small triangular shaped circuit boar with two male pin connectors on one side and three female pin connectors on the other.
