I bought one of these after watching this video and have just finished building it. I was able to finish this build without any major issue.
Thanks to Backofficeshow for the helpful guide! Helped me out big time.

Just bought one of these for my son. And there isn’t any instructions 🤷🏻‍♂️

I just had a scare doing the leds . After checking the led worked, it stopped working once soldered in . I thought I bent them too hard or the heat of soldering . Realized it didn't test positive once soldered into the circuit ...

That was fun to watch! You must be great at parties. Love your personality!

[juanmacias]

haha this was pretty awesome to watch, Merry Christmas!

I'm confused, what did you first do to correct only one side was getting power? I have the same issue and tried rotating the tree with no luck

The word "Triode" was used by the inventor of the vacuum tube triode and is from a Greek word that means "3 ways", or a junction where three roads meet. Therefore technically a transistor is a triode since it it a junction where 3 currents meet (at least as much as a semiconductor diode that inherited its name from the vacuum tube equivalent) although historically the English speaking world doesn't really use the word that way. I imagine its a Chinese-English translation thing, but it does seem rather quaint. Its a bit like the way a lot of Chinese kits refer to 7 segment displays as "tubes".
I built one of these kits a few weeks ago, its very bright but does burn through the batteries a bit, so I power mine from a USB charger these days!

How many C or F should my soldiering iron be at? I have this same tree.

[Kiwagwar]

Oh so first time soldering and messing with these kind of stuff. I i got mine without instructions so, here im, learning

[angelortiz]

Hey just finished mine and it won’t light up, the batteries get super hot even though led don’t light up, I’m a beginner, would appreciate ur response

[tomwilson]

Do you have a link to that nifty resistor lead bending tool you used?

[BenjaminRains-do]

Are “solder bridges” always bad? A few of my components have the solder touching both pins. New to this. Thanks in advance

[jarnold]

Great video. LEDs 7-12 don't light up on card A. Any ideas what I did wrong?

[ImNotADeeJay]

just finished mine, but In one of the PCBs three LEDs in each side won't light.. what could it be? Thanks

How do you know what arr 150ohms vs 10s

[TheDiabeticWay]

Thanks for the video very helpful and its nice to know your talking to yourself like me :-) lol Just wondering on your soldering skills, i changed mine over to the one you have and found it a lot quicker at it heating it up just not sure what temputure you have yours? I set mine to 400c which it may b etoo high? thanks! I want to try to do a few of these for Old people home for there Christmas Dinner if I can do them!

[GeilerGelber]

Nice tutorial, I didn‘t get any instructions with mine and the one on the website is so old, that there are parts in my kit, that are not in the instructions, so I had to look up a video and found yours. Only criticism is, that you didn‘t put a warning in concerning the mismatch with + and -. I followed along and now I am stuck because I don‘t have anything to desolder…

[sinnedam]

I’ve got it all working except my top light. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

[tonyjones]

what is the name of tool used to make the wires on the resistors bend ? Thank you

[retrogamereviews]

Weird issue on mine, they all light up, but very dim....any idea what could be wrong?
