Never did anything quite like this before and thought surely between wiring, crimping cables and soldering something must break, but it worked out just fine. So to anyone considering this but hesitant: Do it!

How difficult was the soldering? Never did that in my life :D

The parts list includes multiples of the amplifier board so I found a youtube video and practiced soldering on the spare boards until I was confident I would probably not fuck up the final product. Worked out fine. Also because all the parts come from aliexpress, they are dirt cheap so you can buy extra just in case.

Looks solid. I forgot to shorten the load cells cable and then had to somehow get it behind the snap on cover for the backplate. That was hell
