LED Chess Set - Simple Version

Step 3Match up the rails

Match up the rails
Get two lengths of cable and cut them the same length as the chess board. You want them longer than just end to end of your wires that you wrapped around the board.

Make sure your twisted ends of the wires on the board stick out straight.

Lay one of the cables along the edge of the chess board under the twisted ends. Make it match up with the edges of the chess board.

Starting with the first twisted end, make a mark on the cable for every second twisted end. Mark the right hand end of the cable a bit so that you know which way around it went.

Now lay the other cable down the same way, but this time put a mark for each twisted end that you missed on the first cable. Make the right hand end of this cable as well.

When you are done, you should have two cables with a mark for each twisted end on either of the cables but never on both.

Take the cables away from the chess board.
