Ok guys here goes my first ever video post (an ummm punctuated video, sorry about that) I can't believe I say that so much...I am such a dope. Anyways here it goes.
Supplies:
1. 5-10 SMD led's are standard 0603 and I get mine from the UK
http://www.phenoptix.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; <---they are 20 cents apiece with free shipping
They can be had from ebay for about 2-3$ US for 5 smds.
I am sure that they can be bought from other places.
Buy extra led's as they are smaller than a grain of rice and you will lose one or two in the process.
2. 60/40 Rosin core solder
3. Solder wick
4. Soldering Iron with fine point
5. A small jig to hold board level and stable (optional...but not really)
6. Self closing tweezers.
7. Patience (not optional)
one last thought, do not touch the SMD led (light bubble) with your iron as this is plastic and will melt.
