We even included some of the best quality solder we found to help you solder everything 
faster. 
All the parts should come in three bags separated for top board, bottom board and the 
hardware. 
The SPA module consists of two boards, the top board is used for all of the UI components 
and the bottom board is the heart of the sound processing circuit. 
Before starting soldering, take your time and find all the resistors value, either

 

using a 

multimeter

 or

 

looking up their color codes

. 

BOTTOM BOARD 

Lets start with the bottom board, with the shortest and smallest parts. 
There is one 10KΩ resistor, place that and solder it to the board. Next solder the diode. Be 
careful though, diodes are 

polarized!

 Make sure that the marking ring on the diode body 

matches the marking on the circuit board. 
Your board should look like this (click on the images to enlarge):
