Step 8Start inserting components.
This is a pretty easy step if you're good with a soldering iron. Just make sure you line everything up right and you'll be good. Look at the circuit board diagram for lining up the chips. Use the diagram below to see what goes where, I've labeled the entire thing. Note that this is a top-down view, the copper layer is the bottom so look at the side where there isn't copper, that's what the diagram is.
Remember to solder in the IC sockets and not the IC's themselves, make sure you orient the sockets according to the diagram and then plug the IC's in the same direction.
For the jumpers, I just used the rest of the resistor leads that I clipped off after soldering in the resistors. If you solder in the resistors first, save the clipped leads, they make good jumpers. There are 3 jumpers on this board (the resistor right next to the ISP header is a mistake, it should be a jumper).
