LED Chess Set - Simple Version

Step 8Sticking LEDs under the wires.

Sticking LEDs under the wires.
Now that you know which way around the 8 LEDs go, stick them under the wires.

They should already have their legs sticking out sideways.

Turn off the power.

Tuck a leg under each wire and then slide the LED right to the edge of the board. Make sure that each LED is in its own row. I put mine on the two ends where the castles stand and two in the middle where the king and queen go.

One colour at one end and the other colour at the other end.

Plug the power back in and they should all be glowing. If they all glow a bit Yellow, quickly turn it off again.
