LEDs

First place the LEDs into the LED spacers. The LED closest to the power header (LED1) uses a 9mm spacer; the other two use 10mm. Align the flat side of the LED with the flat side on the PCB silkscreen. Carefully turn over to solder in place. Keep them vertical, with the spacers flush to the PCB.
