2025-12-10 (W) BonfireLaserTag Components on the next protoboards

I followed the example board and inserted matching components into the other four boards. I had to flip most of the mounting blocks to match the example. Getting these done as a batch is so much more efficient than doing one or two at a time. Getting the exact layout documented will also save time if I have to make more. I trimmed my component leads so when I set the boards down, the components did not fall out. I still had to prop them up a few millimeters, but it was orderly. I soldered the components by starting at the top, where I could secure them with gravity's help, then I flipped the board to secure everything and trim the excess leads. I added the buck-boost voltage regulators to the bottom, but I used solid-core wire, so they will not flop about when I move them to install components and wires below. I made a list of all the components I will need to finish the taggers, including new screens and microcontrollers.
