Datasheet

Use the diagonal cutters to clip the long LED
legs. They should be cut just above the solder
joint.
This will keep them from shorting against stuff.
Next we will place the two 1.0Kohm resistors.
These resistors are used to set the brightness
of the LEDs. If you want brighter LEDs you can
substitute 220 ohm resistors. If you want
dimmer LEDs, you can use 4.7Kohm.
Resistors do not have 'direction' so they can go
either way and work fine. Place the two
resistors into the silkscreen slots on the right of
the PCB.
