An easy to solder PCB with SMD components - or through-hole as a backup

$2 PCB Prototype at https://jlcpcb.com/ (No closing on holidays)
Keep Production of Standard Prototype PCBs
Specs: 2-layer, HASL, Green Solder Mask
Keep delivering PCBs to your door
The circuit described in previous video #173 (https://youtu.be/S2y1oAVmxdA) has been put onto this dual format PCB so that you can try SMD soldering with large(r) components - and fallback to through-hole alternatives if it all gets a bit much!
This is an Arduino UNO R3 Shield and allows you to remotely (wired, two-wire switch) turn your Arduino on, off and kill it if it doesn't respond in a timely manner.
If I can do this with just one dodgy eye to solder with then you can too!
But, to increase the liklihood of success, try the Banggood practice SMD kit (link below) for less than $2 (incl shipping) first, then do this project.
