      Project 2 – Through-hole Soldering<\/h3>\n

      Step 1: The Components\"1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

      Step 2: Insert LED all the way through. Positive leg to the left.\"2\"<\/a> Step 3: Bend legs out 45 dergrees.\"3\"<\/a> Step 4: Solder\"4\"<\/a> Step 5: Insert resistor and bend legs out.\"5\"<\/a> \"6\"<\/a> Step 6: Solder the resistor in place through both of its holes. THEN add some solder to connect the right LED leg to the left resistor leg (the middle two wires).\"7\"<\/a> Step 7: Snip off the two inner leads and test with a 9V battery. Remember which end is positive (+).\"8\"<\/a> \"9\"<\/a> \"10\"<\/a> Works with a Coin cell battery too. Just dimmer.\"11\"<\/a> \"12\"<\/a><\/p>\n
