How to Prototype Without Using Printed Circuit Boards

Step 4Connect the components using Kynar wire...

This step is actually repeated for as many times as you have wires to connect. The process is straightforward:

1.  Strip the end of the wire about 2mm
2.  Measure the length of wire required
3.  Strip the other end
4.  Loop the bare wire ends
5.  Place the loops around the pins or component wires
6.  Crimp them so that they provide a temporary hold
7.  Solder the connections to make them permanent

It's time to turn on your soldering iron and clear your workbench.

Affix your circuit board, back side up, to the helping hands tool.

In the next steps we will deal with each step in detail.
