Battery-free 5 volt project power

Step 10 Making the faceplate

A. If your LED circuit board is similar to the one in the diagram, orient LED D3 so that the cathode pin D3(-) will go in the hole opposite the flat end of the round white LED1 outline.

B. Bend the D3 anode D3(+) 90 degrees and insert D3(-) into the hole in the LED circuit board.

C. Trim D3(+) after the bend so that it's less than a 1/8 inch long. Clip one lead of the 1k ohm resistor R1 so that it's also about 1/8 inch long. Feed the long end of R1, R1(2), through the hole in the LED circuit board and solder the short ends of R1 and D3(+) together.

D. Flip the LED circuit board over. Solder R1(2) to the hole unoccupied by D3(+) and trim the remaining length. The strip of copper R1(2) is now soldered to is the positive bus.

E. Flip the LED circuit board back over. Feed the output cable through one of the holes in the plastic faceplate. Note that direction of the faceplate is now inverted and the faceplate will stick out when you're finished.

F. Solder the J1(+) through the hole that connects to the positive bus. Solder J1(-) to the ground bus.

I DONT GET WERE R1(1) GOES IN STEP 10 (C)

 If you look at the 2nd and 3rd picture, D3+ is the end that is being soldered to R1(1).
