Step 3Soldering the components - 1
First, the power supply.
The three terminal regulator whose name is longer than the device itself, that microchip wonder, was soldered in together with the two capacitors needed on its input and output.
I took the opportunity to solder some other bits and pieces too.
A piece hacked off an old ISA board became the USB connector. Wires of the proper colour were selected for connecting it - black for the negative, red for positive, and white and green for the USB data lines.
After the voltage regulator was fixed on board, it was time to test it, which was the next step.
