The LEDs are
polarized
so make sure that the
long leg
(+) is facing
upwards
. Also
the notch on led and circuit board should match.
The RGB LED
long lead
should be in the third
hole
as well as the notches should match, like in the
picture below. Still don’t solder anything yet.
Again we want to make sure that all the components are properly aligned with the front panel, so take the
standoff and place it in the opening. Check that all the components came through and then screw the
wooden front panel with the second hex screw. Also secure the jacks to the panel with the washers and the
nuts.
Important!
Don’t tighten the screws and jack washers too much as you may damage them!
The LEDs should have some
space off the board
, or else they won’t come through the panel, like in the
image below.
Solder the LEDs and rest of the components.
Turn over the board and clip off the long leads of the jacks or they might short the capacitor.
