1. Prepare

Verify component pinouts against each manufacturer’s datasheet before wiring. Label cut wires with their wire numbers; the same numbers follow them through every stage. Wire colors are written out for black-and-white printing. Custom colors can be named in the wire library.

12 wires to prepare; 312mm total wire, including end allowances.

2. Cut wires

12 wires · +5mm per end for lead-through

Total wire: 312mm (12.3in)

3. Bend wires

Use the straight-line ruler to mark bend points on the wire before bending. Use the bent shape as a visual reference while bending.

Wire 1 — COL — K24 → H24 — 18mm — Red

Cut 18mm.

Wire 2 — BASE — E19 → F23 — 23mm — Yellow

Cut 23mm. Bend 90° right at 15mm.

Wire 3 — 5V — C8 → C5 — 18mm — White

Cut 18mm.

Wire 4 — 5V — C3 → J3 — 28mm — Green

Cut 28mm.

Wire 5 — 5V — J5 → K14 — 35mm — Blue

Cut 35mm. Bend 90° down at 8mm.

Wire 6 — IN — E12 → G9 — 23mm — Black

Cut 23mm. Bend 90° right at 13mm.

Wire 7 — IN — H8 → M8 — 23mm — Red

Cut 23mm.

Wire 8 — IN — L9 → L5 — 20mm — Yellow

Cut 20mm.

Wire 9 — GND — D3 → K3 — 28mm — White

Cut 28mm.

Wire 10 — GND — K2 → J8 — 33mm — Green

Cut 33mm. Bend 90° down at 10mm. Bend 90° right at 25mm.

Wire 11 — GND — K9 → L10 — 14mm — Blue

Cut 14mm.

Wire 12 — GND — M11 → G21 — 51mm — Black

Cut 51mm. Bend 90° left at 30mm.

4. Place wires

Component side. Select a wire to emphasize its route in its own color and highlight its endpoints. Wires follow number order, matching the bend guide and solder checklist.

5. Solder connections

Bottom view: horizontally mirrored. Coordinate names still identify the same physical holes. Highlights mark wire endpoints; wire routes belong on the component side. Check each connection and the listed solder bridges.

Board is horizontally mirrored. Column A is on the right.
