Step 1: Install nineteen resistors

As you get started, note that the values of each component
are printed in their proper location on the circuit board un-
less otherwise noted.

Resistors have a low profile, sitting closer to the board than
taller components, so install them first. Their locations are
marked on the board with the value of the part.

Resistors are not polarized, so it doesn’t matter which lead
goes in which eyelet. They can be installed in either direction.

Larger resistors may need to be placed on the
board at an angle due to their size.
