The kit comes with (via link to download site) a 22 page fully detailed user instruction guide to assembly. The assembly instructions include many detailed photos, and step - by - step instructions for building, testing and using the clock. The kit uses one surface mount device - the DS3231 TCXO IC as pictured below. The IC is not available in through-hole packaging. The comprehensive instructions explain a simple technique to reliably solder this device. The pitch of the pins is the widest of any surface mount device so soldering in place should be easily within the capabilities of the average electronics hobbyist.
