This is the basic starting point for the build sequence.  The pcb is built in an orderly sequence starting with the resistors and small components that are low on the board and then working up to the bulkier parts like connectors.
This is the basic starting point for the build sequence.  The pcb is built in an orderly sequence starting with the resistors and small components that are low on the board and then working up to the bulkier parts like connectors.
We start with the resistors that make up the central strip.  Resistor leads should be bent close to the resistor body within about 1mm.
A tip for doing this without tools -  Hold the resistor between thumb and first-finger, and use the other hand to bend the resistor lead over the thumb nail.
