Step #1:
- Make sure you have all the required parts before starting. Everything you need is included in the Ultimate Microcontroller Pack.
- First, install the transistor. With the flat part of the transistor facing away from you, the leftmost leg should be inserted into E20 on the breadboard, followed by the other two legs in E21 and E22.
- Next, install the diode. Polarity matters here, so make sure the side with the white stripe is in C16 and the other side is in C20.
- And now, the resistor. Plug it into pins C21 and C26 (polarity doesn't matter here).
