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.

Progress is saved on this browser for this board revision. Changes to the board or measurements start a new checklist. Printed diagrams are references, not life-size templates.

13 wires to prepare; 268mm total wire, including end allowances.

2. Cut wires

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

Total wire: 268mm (10.6in)

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 — TOGGLE — F15 → I15 — 18mm — Red

Cut 18mm.

Wire 2 — TIMER — F9 → G10 — 14mm — Yellow

Cut 14mm.

Wire 3 — PULSE — C6 → C12 — 25mm — White

Cut 25mm.

Wire 4 — PULSE — C13 → G15 — 25mm — Green

Cut 25mm. Bend 90° right at 10mm.

Wire 5 — VCC — I20 → J20 — 13mm — Blue

Cut 13mm.

Wire 6 — VCC — H19 → H17 — 15mm — Black

Cut 15mm.

Wire 7 — LAMP — I23 → E15 — 40mm — Red

Cut 40mm. Bend 90° up at 15mm.

Wire 8 — GND — J11 → H11 — 15mm — Yellow

Cut 15mm.

Wire 9 — GND — K9 → K14 — 23mm — White

Cut 23mm.

Wire 10 — GND — J15 → H15 — 15mm — Green

Cut 15mm.

Wire 11 — GND — J10 → E11 — 30mm — Blue

Cut 30mm. Bend 90° up at 10mm. Bend 90° left at 13mm. Bend 90° down at 20mm.

Wire 12 — GND — J16 → J18 — 15mm — Black

Cut 15mm.

Wire 13 — GND — L19 → J21 — 20mm — Red

Cut 20mm. Bend 90° left at 10mm.

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.
