|| Next, we have to make a few modifications to the Airwick PCB. These isolate power from the existing controller chip on the Airwick PCB and allow this PCB to be powered from the HAHnode board. We tap the filtered signal from the PIR and feed this to the HAHnode. When handling the PCB, be careful not to touch the PIR sensor module. Note that if your Airwick board is different from the one pictured below, you might have to alter the following procedure (however, we've yet to hear of a different one). \\ There are eight track cuts in total. We used a 2mm end mill, so our cuts look like small white circles, but a small drill, scalpel or stanley knife will also be good (mind you don't cut off any of your fingers!). On the following images, we put a small orange dot in the centre of our cuts so you can spot them more easily. It's best to use ' | || Next, we have to make a few modifications to the Airwick PCB.
