Step 5 Building the circuit

This is the most difficult step, but it basically comes down to patience and origami skills. I chose to put the circuitry on the plastic shelf underneath the spring steel since this seems to be the largest available space. The downside is that there isn't much clearance above the parts so you have to keep things as flat as possible.

Following the schematic, add all the parts, I like to start with the big wires first, in this case the power and ground and the two speaker wires. Then add all the capacitors, then connect power and ground to each Vcc and Vss with short pieces of wire, then add the resistors. Finally, connect the microphone and two switches.

Now that is some crazy "squished bug" soldering!
