Skateboard with PIC microcontroller and LEDs

Step 3 Add wires and complete skateboard assembly

Since we are using eight LEDs at the front and back of the skateboard in a common anode configuration, we need nine wires from the circuit board to the front, and another nine wires from the circuit board to the back. I cut the wires out of a serial cable so that I would have eight different colors. The ninth wire is a larger gauge wire. With this combination I did not have to mark each individual wire.
1. After another 24 hours remove the assembly from the bag.
2. Tape/clamp the remaining three laminates together.
3. Drill holes in the last three laminates at the location of the LEDs and circuit board. Note: I used the TLAR (that looks about right) method for locating the holes.
4. Tape the wires into the groove.
5. Glue and add the last three laminates to the assembly, while pulling the wires through the holes that were drilled.
6. Slide into netting and vacuum bag for the last time.
