Board Safety:
Caution:
Many of the components used in this workshop are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Please ensure that you are wearing your protective wrist strap at all times. There will be a warning slide when components are ESD and heat sensitive.
Clipping leads can sometimes cause them to separate in a rapid manner that could cause injury. Please take caution when clipping leads. Wear your safety glasses at ALL TIMES!

Reading a Resistor:
The resistors in this workshop have already been organized by value.
In the event that your resistors get mixed, please refer to the chart at the left to classify your resistors, or use your multimeter
If you are unsure, don’t hesitate to raise your hand and ask for assistance.

Pre-Bending:
Pre-Bending 101:
- Pre-bending is a technique that allows components to be easily inserted into a PCB.
- Pre-bending also allows components to lay more flush with the board.
- Bending components to the correct bend radius takes practice, but mastering the technique will reap rewarding benefits!
33

Pre-Bending:
Pre-Bending 101:
- Start with the bending and prodding tool in the position shown in the top picture.
- Choose a location along the length of the tool that will yield the appropriate bend radius.
- Use your thumb to bend the lead such that the component and lead are orthogonal.
