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. | |||
Work methodically, - it looks neater if the resistors are all inserted the same direction so that the colour code can be read easily from the left hand side. | |||
First we add the five 10K resistors - the colour code is Brown Black Black Red (The last band on all resistors is Brown). | First we add the five 10K resistors - the colour code is Brown Black Black Red (The last band on all resistors is Brown). | ||
After you have soldered the five resistors from the underside of the board, cut off the excess leads using side cutters. | |||
