Resistance!

Lets start populating the board with components in size order (as Dropout's documentation suggests). The first would be resistors.

Bend the wires at the resistor and stick them into the holes labeled R1-R16. (Orientation doesn't matter in this case, but it will for the LED's so keep that in mind).

Bend the wires back a little after stick them in so the resistors don't fall out when you turn the board over.

Now that they're all in, you can solder them into place.

Finally, use the wire clippers to snip off the long wires, leaving a small tail sticking out just like on professional grade boards. Take caution not to poke any parts of the board with either left over wire or the wire clippers.
