  1. In addition to a good soldering iron, we recommend also having some soldering flux on hand, along with a good pair of angle-cut clippers and a good pair of tweezers. We use the Xuron XUR410T sprue cutter and the Wiha 44518 tweezers.

  2. This is a full panel of Pico LEDs (120 in total). You may have purchased less than a full panel, but this photo shows how each Pico LED is attached to the panel with two "fingers"-- one on the top of each Pico LED and one on the bottom.

  3. Each Pico LED has small markings above the copper pads-- one for positive ("+") and one for negative ("-"). We recommend orienting the Pico LEDs so the markings are on top as you solder-- this ensures that you know the + leads are on the left and - on the right.
