Step 9: Solder the leds
1. Find leds Go to the semiconductor bag and find the four leds - red, yellow, green and a clear/blue infra red emitting led
2. Insert the Leds. Insert the leds into positions marked D4, D3, D2 and D1. The flat on the led body must match the small bar on the printing on the circuit board.
You will also see that one lead on the LED is much longer and this corresponds to the anode of the LED
Note that D1 is inserted and bent over so the LED faces outwards.
3. Flip the circuit board over.
4. Solder the pins: Solder the 8 pads.
6. Trim the leads. Cut off the excess leads with a pair of sidecutters.
