Locate the bag containing the resistors. This will include 5 pieces in total. Sort them carefully into their
respective values using the illustrations below.
Bend the resistor legs 90° and then insert each
resistor into the indicated location on the board
and solder in place
There are three ways to identify the value
of a resistor:

330R x 2 pieces.
Orange, Orange, Black, Black, Brown
1K x 2 Pieces. Brown, Black, Black, Brown, Brown
10K x 1 piece. Brown, Black, Black, Red, Brown
Bend the legs outwards to
prevent the components from
dropping out of the PCB while
soldering.
To be 100% sure you can use a multimeter to check the value of the resistors.
It can be easy to misread a 1% tolerance brown band as the 1st digit!

• Polarity doesn’t matter to the measurement.
• It removes the possibility of misreading one of the resistor
colour bands.
• It can be a quick way to check when you have multiple resistors.
• It doesn’t need power or the Internet so you can use it anywhere
• It teaches you to read the values without the aid of any equipment
• Inputting the resistor colour bands will give you the exact value
of the resistor
• The calculations are done for you which makes it easier to use
than a resistor card.
• You just need to accurately identify the colours to get the
correct result.
