The Digital Die

You should be able to solder on the first few components without any guidance.
Start with the smallest components first.
Make sure the diode and the 78L05 voltage regulator are in the correct way around (or you might give yourself a bit of a suprise).
Your board should look like this when it is finished.

Don't forget to pass your battery snap through the strain hole as shown below before soldering it on.

With the basic components soldered to the board, you now need to add in the LEDs.
The LEDs will be fitted using 2 spacers.
Follow the guide below carefully.
Take an LED and the two spacers.

Now holding the LED and spacers together, place the carefully on the PCB and solder the LED in place.
Make sure the LED is as close to the spacers as can be when you are finished soldering.
You can now get the next 6 LED's ready.

You can now add the rest of the LED's. Make sure you have the long leg(+) in the correct hole.

Now you must download your program to the board and test it before continuing.

Take a picture of the solder side and component side of your board.
Upload your program to your board and make sure it works. Take a photo of your board working.
Your badge will be awarded according to the quality of your work.
The silver badge progress ladder, green - Solder more challenging components (e.g. ICs) to a PCB, with assistance.
This gold badge progress ladder, blue - Confidently and consistently solder components to a high standard.
This platinum badge progress ladder, indigo - Produce working boards to a high standard, ensuring wires are correctly dressed and soldering is tidy.
