TV-B-Gone Kit

Step 9: Solder It! part 6

Next is the IR LEDs. Start with LED1, a clear IR led. Like the small indicator LED, it has polarity. Make sure the longer, positive lead is on the right, as shown.

Bend the LED over 90 degrees so it sticks out over the edge of the circuit board

Now solder it to the top of the circuit board

Flip over the PCB and solder it to the bottom (if necessary)

Then clip the leads

Place the remaining LEDs. The blue tinted ones should go in the center. Make sure they are in the correct orientation!

Solder the LEDs in and clip the long leads.

You're done soldering! Now you may want to perform some tests to make sure its working. Visit the Testing page for more info.

Place the doublesided foam sticky on the circuit board. Remove the other side and press the battery holder on

Congrats, you're done!
