15.

Now solder in the three 10uF Electrolytic Capacitors.

NOTE!

Orientation is vital on this part. The grey stripe and shorter leg signifify

the negative side of the capacitor, the longer lead of the component should
go into the hole on the PCB.

16.

Next solder in the 10 pin male power
header on the back of the bottom
board as shown.

NOTE:

Make sure this header is

soldered on the opposite side of all
other components as shown in the
picture.

Bottom Board

17.

Next solder in the two 22uF
Electrolytic Capacitors

NOTE:

Orientation is vital on this

positioned as pictured, the longer
lead of the component should go into
the hole on the PCB.
