Follow the instructions provided by Modern Device to assemble the BBB Arduino.
Instructions: http://moderndevice.com/Docs/BBB_RevE_Instructions03.pdf

When assembling the BBB, remember to use an LM7805 voltage regulator in place of the L4931CZ50LDO.  The smaller voltage regulator might work just fine, but we are pulling quite a bit of current to power up to 768 L.E.D.s.  The optional inductor is not needed for this project. You can follow the instructions on creating a solder bridge if you'd prefer to save the inductor, or if you'd rather not deal with the surface mount component. Nevertheless, it is not difficult to solder and I used it on my board.

If you also purchased the USB-BUB follow the assembly instructions to complete it.

When assembling the USB-BUB, I selected Configuration 2, though in practice I only ever use Configuration 1 (no jumper).
