Step 2Resistance isn't futile!
Lets first populate the PCB with resistors and diodes-- you know, to keep those LED's in line!
An organized approach will ensure no mix-ups. Here's the order to attach components:
R10-12 (Red Band)
R1-9 (Brown Band)
D1-3 (Red Body)
Before I hand it off to the images, here's the basic idea:
You put the component in the PCB in on the side with writing, bend the tails a little, turn the board over and solder them into place. Then cut the excess tails off at the start. Follow the images, and look at the comments.
Note that the D1-3 diodes need to placed in a specific orientation. Align the band on the PCB to the band on the diode. (Check out pictures for illustration).
