STEP 1: Place and solder the 330-ohm resistors into place
- There is no polarity with the resistors.
- Bend the component leg to the side to hold the resistor in place for soldering.
- A diagonal cutter is required to cut the component legs once soldering has been completed.
STEP 2: Place and solder the 33K resistor into place
- There is no polarity with the resistors
STEP 3: Place and solder LEDs into place
- The longer lead on the LED is positive (+)
- To hold the LED in place to solder, bend the lead on the back of the PCB
- A diagonal cutter is required (not Incl.) to cut off the leads after soldering
STEP 4: Place and solder the On/Off switch into place
- There is no polarity with the on/off switch
STEP 5: Place and solder the photo cells into place.
STEP 6: Place and solder the potentiometer into place
STEP 7: Place and solder the battery clips into place
