Now you want
one 1x5 and one 1x8 male pinheader
. If it is necessary cut the required length with
your flush cutters. Then put them from the other side and solder them.
Be careful to solder the
pinheaders straight
! You may first solder the middle pin
, then take the board in your hand and reheat
that pin while pressing down on the header to align it (be careful though, you don’t want to touch the pin
you are heating up). Wait for it to cool and solder the rest of the pins.
Now it is time to insert
RGB LED. The
longest lead should be in the third
hole as well as the flat sides of the
LED should match the printing
. See
the picture to check the orientation.
Do
not solder yet
!
Before soldering LED you should mount the board to the wooden panel first.
Take two screws along
with two 10 mm spacers and fix them with the panel
. Then let the board go through and secure it
with
nut and 11 mm spacer
.
