Step 2: Lay down the copper tape + bend the card
You'll need two pieces of copper tape, to pickup the two poles of the solar panel you are assembling. Cut, peel, and stick. Rub it down with the back of your fingernail for that retro gloss finish.
If you feel so inclined, you could also add extra copper tape traces, for indicator LEDs and whatnot -- but this is not essential for a functioning arduino charge card.
>>Note that the copper tape conducts best along the surface without the adhesive. It doesn't conduct reliably through the tape thickness.
>>You could solder to this copper tape surface if you wanted, for certain projects -- the copper tape is a joy to solder to - but it's not necessary to power an arduino. A few more steps and we are there...
