Solder all of the electrical components. 0604 sized components are very easy to solder if you have a pair of tweezers.



Put some solder on one pad, keep heating that pad and move the component into that pad, make sure it's aligned correctly, then remove the heat and let the first joint cool. Then you are able to solder the 2nd joint very easily.

Remember, flux can make the difference between a fun project and quitting the electronics hobby. I suggest you get a flux pen.

I really appreciate your effort to show how easy it is to solder 0603 SMT ... honestly I do. Great job! However... it's still wrong on so many levels ;-) Great Instructable!
