Then Tim found a clear plastic case from an ipod and we cut that to 3" by 3" so that we could put the piece of perfboard with the leds inside the plastic case. Next, we decided that we weren't going to use a breadboard because it's kind of big and bulky and we really didn't need it. Then we soldered wires to the pins that we were using on the arduino board and also soldered resistors to the wires. What we did next is a little confusing. We took a piece of wire and soldered each side to both of the leds connected to pin 2. Then we did the same thing for pin 3 and pin 4 and so on. |
