Step 6Make some connections
The red (positive) lead was cut in an earlier step. Now you will strip about 3/16 of an inch of insulation from each of the free ends of the red lead. Then tin the exposed wire. Tin the remaining pins on your tiny13 chip, too. This makes attaching the fine wires much easier, because you can hold the wire against the chip pin and reflow the solder joint with a hot soldering iron.
The red lead from the LED module connects to pin 5. The red lead from the battery goes to pin 8.
For the ground connection, use a fine-pointed needle-nose pliers to bend the pin in a "U". With a sharp utility knife, score the insulation of the yellow (negative) wire and pull it apart to expose a small section of bare wire. Place that section of bare wire in the "U" you just bent and solder carefully.
