Step 3: Flip the PCB over so that the bottom or solder side is up. Insert the  

B10k(TEXTURE), B50k(BLEND) potentiometers, and the LED into the bottom side of 
the PCB.  DO NOT SOLDER ANYTHING YET!!!  The LED will have one lead that is 

longer than the other.  The longer lead goes in the hole with the square solder pad. 

 

Step 4:  Hold the PCB in one hand so that the component side of the PCB is in the palm
