Assembly
Step-by-step
Components
First, grab the components you need from the component table.
You need:
- Bare Lightshield PCB
- 11 LEDs of various colors
- 11 1k resistors
After you have successfully soldered the above, check in with an IA to get:
- Pin headers
- 1 Microphone and accompanying module
Soldering
Then, go to EnVision to solder the components with the available equipment of your choice (probably a soldering iron).
Soldering these SMD components by hand can take some finesse, so feel free take your time.
In the next assignment we will learn a method for soldering boards with many SMD components.
Things to Consider
- Which direction should the LEDs point?
- Which side should the pin headers and microphone be placed?
