The one under the knob? It looks like its supposed to be used to mount another knob. I wanna do this! Does it have some function I'm overlooking?

The LCD has a thing that beeps on it. This is the hole for that.

I see that. I mean the OTHER notch. It's like a weird line that is the shape of a circle and it forms a tab that goes all the way to the underside...

That's for the reset button on the lcd panel. Check for binding when you get that far in the assembly, I had to trim mine back because it would stick, and continuously reset.

That is the tab over the RamBo Reset Button. It is a little awkward to press as it is but pressing reboots the RamBo. Also tends to stick or hang.

I modified the plastic tab by attaching a cork button to the back of the tab and a printed red "RESET" button to the front. Eliminated the sticking and made it easy to press.

Ahh thank you very much. Didn't realize the LCD had a reset, haven't got there yet. Looks like I'll be sticking the knob out the bottom hole in the chamber.

That sounded kinda perverted...
