Step 5: Solder It! part 2
solder each leg of the resistor
Use the diagonal cutters to clip off the resistor legs so that only the solder points remain.
Now its time to place the small indicator LED LED5. LED's are not symmetric and must be placed correctly in order to work. You'll notice one leg of the LED is longer than the other. This is the positive leg. The positive leg goes into the hole with a + next to it. In the picture shown, its the left hole.
Insert the LED into the correct location, and bend the leads out to keep it from falling out when you turn the PCB over.
Turn the PCB over and solder both leads of the LED.
Clip both leads off the LED.
