You're right, the instructions are technically correct. But I agree with cam54321 that they could be further improved. I made the same mistake with the leds as he did.ladyada wrote: as for the instructions, the steps don't say to solder in LED1 and LED2 until after the image showing how they should be offset.
Don't get me wrong, I think the instructions are exceptionally good. Very detailed instructions are great for beginners like me. But after a number of similar cycles of placing, soldering and clipping the components it is easy just to assume that it's the same steps again. This is why highlighting any exceptions early would be helpful. For example this led placement.
Another thing that might be a good idea to describe in detail as early as possible is the optional replacement of the resistors with jumpers.
