Be sure to heed all the safety precautions about soldering that we pro-
vide in Chapter 2. For example, don’t leave your soldering iron on if you
have to step away. And just in case a bit of solder has an air pocket that
could cause it to pop, wear your safety glasses whenever you solder.- Connect the short leads on every other LED to short lengths of 20
gauge black wire, as shown in Figures 10-18 and 10-19.
Figure 10-18 shows a gap without a black wire across the tail of the dol-
phin. One of the LEDs at the tail with a short lead has only one black
wire attached, and the other has a 2' 20 gauge black wire attached; you
connect this wire to a terminal block on the breadboard in Step 20.
