Step 7Add a Switch (optional)
One of the problems with this kit is that it doesn't have an easy way of switching the thing on or off without disconnecting the battery or pulling the cable. The easy solution is to solder on a switch!
Radioshack carries a perfect switch (275-645A). Solder it onto the board in the appropriate place. It doesn't matter what orientation it's in. Solder the wires to the switch, not the board. This seems difficult because the terminals are tiny, but it actually isn't. However, when you solder, remember orient them correctly. The negative is close to the "MAKE" logo.
