Step 7Adding LeD's

Adding LeD\
Now you will want to start adding your various elements. Here I have inserted my LeD's into Robot.
A small insertion may need to be made to allow the legs of the LeD's to enter the circuit/cloth. Ensure the legs fall close to the conductive thread, you have previously sewn.

Once the LeD's are inserted, sew the legs to the circuit with conductive thread. I have also chosen to apply a small amount of solder, to ensure a good connection.

Now that the LeD's are installed, it would be a good time to once again check for conductivity.
If all goes well you should get your first practical experience with fabric circuitry.

Was you circuit complete? If not go back and check with your multi-meter each point, until you find where the break is. Repair as required.

Continue applying your elements to the circuit.
