GOOD

OKAY

A little metal mountain 

resembling a hershey kiss. 

Fully covered solder pad, you 

should see no more gold.

The solder is not fully on the 

solder pad. You still see some 

gold visible. Give it a another 

try. Just reheat the solder joint 

and add a little more solder.

A blobby solder joint that is 

more spherical. You can use 

less solder next time. The 

electronics should still work!

Assembly Instructions

Start with the first resistor. This resistor 
is going to go into the place on the 
board labeled R1. Resistors are 
bi-directional meaning it doesn't 
matter which way they're rotated when 
you put them in. First remove the tape 
on both ends of the resistor leads. Then, 
bend the legs of the resistor and slide it 
into its home on the printed circuit 
board. Once the resistor is in place it 
helps to bend them slightly outwards 
so the part doesn’t fall out.
