SOLDERING GUIDE (PART B)
There are two methods that can be used to solder the LED Arrays together; The
recommended one will be shown as it is an easier way of ensuring a proper arrangement of
the LED arrays in a cube shape.
Recommended Method:
1.
Begin by placing the female to male headers on the perforated brown board (See Figure 1).
2.
Then, start installing the rectangular LEDs in the following way on the perforated brown
board in between the headers. Make sure to bend the middle pin of each LED towards the
outside of the board.

3.
Begin by soldering the middle pin of each LED to the middle pin of the LED directly to its
left.
4.
Continue by soldering the outer pins of each LED to the outer pin of the LED directly
below it. Once finished, you should get a somehow solid structure just like the one in Figure
2 on the next page. Notice that the middle pins are connected and that the outer pins on the
first side are also soldered together.
