Step 3Flip the board over and solder some more stuff
Once you've soldered down the power plug and the orange jumper, flip the board over. As shown in the picture, insert a red jumper from Q13 to O13. Be sure to bend the jumper slightly around P13 for the potentiometer later on.
With that red jumper down, solder another orange jumper from K21 to K18. Once those two are down, flip the board over again.
Now with the board flipped over, you need to bend excess leads to span two hles in the circuit board. Once you have three of those little jumpers, insert them as shown at G21 to G20, another one from I18 to H18, and the last goes from J17 to I17. Solder those down and trim off the excess bits sticking out on the back.
Once again, flip the board over.
As shown in the picture, solder down a green jumper and a brown jumper; the green goes from P17 to L21, and the brown jumper is from Q23 to H19. Trim the excess and, you guessed it! Flip the board over once more.
In the next picture, the jumpers you need to solder are shown with an explaination of where they go. There are only two to place for this subsection, so take heart. Soon, you will be soldering components instead of boring little jumpers everywhere. Trust me, components are a LOT more fun to solder than a bunch of tiny bits of wire.
Once you have the red and violet jumpers soldered down nicely, trim the leads and grab the 10 uF capacitor. stick that in the circuit board from I14 to H14. Be sure to have the lead on the striped side in H14, or else it won't work. with that soldered down, you have one jumper to go until the halfway mark!
Almost at a stopping point!
Okay, this is a difficult jumper to solder down. BE VERY CAREFUL! You need to put in the brown jumper wire from G14 to Q14. The tricky part is that when you heat up the wire, the insulation shrinks, as shown in the picture. You need to solder this down quickly but carefully, or else the jumper will short out the capacitor and ruin your circuit. It would probably be best to bend the brown jumper a bit so there isn't as much of a risk.
You are halfway there! Take a break if you aren't having the best of luck so far. If you are doing great and getting everything exactly as shown in the pictures, continue to the next step.
