The pictures will be of more help then my written description

Wire connections:

(the circuit board battery wires)

1. Solder the positive circuit board battery wires to one lead on the pushbutton switch, and solder lead on the pushbutton switch to the positive terminal on the battery holder.

2. Solder the negative circuit board battery wire directly to the negative terminal on the battery holder.


(Capacitor wiring)

1. Wire the negative circuit board capacitor wire to one of the syringe tips, and the positive circuit board capacitor wire to the other.


(Legs)

1. Glue on some legs. I used a combination of super glue and hot glue.

(Extra)

1. Most disposable camera circuits have LEDs to indicate when the flash is fully charged. Bend (or rewire) the LED so it is visible to you when you are charging the capacitor. It will be useful in letting you know when the capacitor is fully charged.
