-1. Assemble collective base up to the point shown on the pic below (look at the [[simchair4:guide_collective_body_single-throttle-for-integrated-heads|Single throttle lever body for integrated heads]] manual but use parts from the simple collective SE body directory instead). Note that instead of the 4-wire I2C cable used in a regular lever, a 6-wire hat switch cable is inserted. Note the colors of the cable, the hat switch cable is strictly color-coded for ease of use.+1.

 If you ever happen to break the hat switch, it can be replaced in a couple of minutes! This lever is perfect maintenance-wise as everything can be pulled apart really quickly. If you ever happen to break the hat switch, it can be replaced in a couple of minutes!

-That's it!+7. **ENCLOSURE WITH EXTENSION SLOT ONLY** 
 +If you've chosen to make a lever with the base extension slot, solder the 4-wire i2c cable as shown in the picture below. You can solder it directly to your base extension of choice, or add an RJ-45 plug so you can connect stuff easily later.

 +8. Flash the lever with firmware for your chosen variant (I2C or USB) and calibrate it. (Please consult with this video on YouTube if you're not familiar with the process). The video is for the single collective, but for this one, the process is the same minus the name of the lever.
