Next we add the On/Off switch.
Without this component the circuit
would be always on and the battery
would drain quickly. The orientation of
this part doesn’t matter in this circuit.
The switch will connect the middle pin
with either the top or the bottom pin
depending on how it positioned.

STEP 4: ON/OFF SWITCH
The orientation of the
RGB LED matters. If it is
inserted incorrectly the
LED will not turn on.
This is a common cathode with means
all three colors share a common ground.
The longest pin (marked with a red
circle and dash in the picture) is the
common ground pin. The other three
pins control the three colors, red, green,
blue. The longest pin must be inserted
into the hole marked with a dash on the
printed circuit board. Press the LED
through the PCB. The LED will not be
completely flush with the board
because of how close the leads are, we
need some space to solder! Very
carefully solder the leads on the LED.
These are the trickiest connections of
this kit. Once the connections are
complete snip the leads of the RGB LED.
