Step 7: Solder wires to Wiimote circuit board

The images provided display the soldering points for the wires to be connected to the circuit. Before soldering, cut 13 wires measuring about 2 inches in length. 11 of these wires should be one color. In our example, the color used is blue. Finally, make sure the red and black wires are power and ground respectively. This step is not necessary. However, it helps easily identify wires to connect later on. Plus, the wires used should be flexible for reasons mentioned later.

Please wear safety glasses when soldering. It is important to solder to the correct side of the button contact or the button will not function properly. 

Once the wires are soldered to the buttons on the  board, take the Receiver circuit board built earlier and connect and solder the wires to the Receiver board as indicated in the circuit diagram. Also, be sure to write down and note which button corresponds to which connection on the Receiver circuit board.
