Step 2: Solder the Smaller Components
1.
To get things started, place the 180 Ohm resistor at the rectangle marked RLED. The orientation
is not important. Solder it from the other side of the board and snip the extra bits of the leads.
2.
Place four diodes,
of the same type
, at each of the places marked with an A (the blue arrows in
the diagram at right).
The orientation of the diodes is extremely important. The arrow-like symbols printed on the circuit
board show the correct orientation. Note that they are not always in the orientation you’d expect.
See the following page for more information about orienting the diodes correctly (ie: with the
correct “polarity”)
Once they’re in place (in the correct orientation), solder the diodes from the back of the PCB.
Note: If you use the 5mm LEDs as your diodes (or you find some other awkward size of diode),
you might want to solder them on the other side of the board. The side of the board doesn’t
matter, as long as you orient the diodes according to the printed symbols!
3.
Do the same for four other diodes that are
of the same type
.
Place them in the area marked with a B (the orange arrows in the diagram at right)
