Step 5

  • The LED wires are labeled TX and TG.
  • Use a helping hand to hold circuit board steady for soldering.
  • Solder the disconnected wire to the circuit board (in this case, the white wire to the node labeled TX.
  • Caution: Never touch the element or tip of the soldering iron. They are very hot (about 400°C) and will burn. Always return the soldering iron to its stand when not in use.
