5. Build Steps
There is a full build guide for this video located at:
1. As always, the first step is to gather your parts.
2. In general with diy electronics, we want to build “low to high.” “Low to High” means soldering
items in reverse order of height, as it is easier to manipulate smaller items when there aren’t
taller things to get in the way. In this case, it means starting with the resistors. Start by
soldering the 330R resistor, and the five 100k resistors.
There is a video tutorial here:
Resistors are pretty near indestructible, so take your time. Heat the connection for about half
a second before you apply solder. This preheating will prevent the molten solder from hitting
cold metal and cooling too fast. This results in what’s called a ‘cold solder joint’, which is a
