Step 10 Soldering the Resistors (surface mount style)

Put dogleg bends in the resistors wires. Then solder in position testing each one with an Ohmmeter to check for shorts.
Take care not to melt the paint on the resistors and cause a short!

I found it difficult making these dog legged bends. I simply placed the resistor through the holes as usual, Soldered them in then bent the reamaining leg back and forth.

As the metal tired out it snapped flush with the top side of the veroboard. Hope that helps anyone.

 Great tip. You do have to be careful with the legs of some components, they can de delicate.
