Great 'ible, the LED tester is a nice touch. I know i've put LEDs in that didn't work and was really frustrated about it. You should really go over this with a spell checker because there are more than a few misspelled words, but otherwise I think this is a good idea.

Yeah some of the comments on the pictures are still misspelled, but much better.
