Step 6Install LED D1
Using the same PCB hole, solder 220-Ohm resistor and 50-inch wire to socket pin4. The 50-inch wire will pass up through the board and the resistor lead will pass down through the board.
Connect one end of a different colored 50-inch wire to the ground rail. We will trim to length and attach it later.
Insert the LED into the bar end, making sure the LED is pushed against the back side of the plug. The LED should poke out of the bar end. Test fit the bar end to the board and note how much the anode (long LED lead) overlaps with the lead from R1.
Remove the bar end and solder anode to R2 so that the LED reached the end of the bar end. Redo if necessary to get a good fit.
Solder the cathode (short lead) of the LED to the ground rail making sure to preserve the LED placement.
The PCB is held in place with a wire around the bottom half of the last rib. Drill two small holes in the PCB just past the first rib of the bar end on either side of the shaft. Wire the PCB in place, twist and snip excess.
Hot glue four long wires through PCB.
