Notes:
- the power switch has a little symbol on it that shows which of the two connections is ground and which is power
- it is very important to check the labels of the resistors according to which color they are (eg. I was using a 110 ohm resistance, which I thought was good for the two bulbs, 1.7 LED voltage/ 20 LED current/ 5 total voltage, that should have only needed 82 ohms resistance. Little did I know that the resistor I had picked up was K ohms! I figured the extra ohms of resistance were the reason the LED did not light up. I checked the colors and found the correct amount.)
- the amount of resistance can be read according to the colors, each color being a different amount or resistance. The numbers are then added up to determine the total amount on each resistor. I think…
- soldering is an art
