Breadboard Menorah Alternate Build

This page is part of the documentation for the Deluxe Electronic Breadboard Menorah Kit.

Instruction changes for building the breadboard menorah with the shamash on the end.

The notes below outline the changes to the printed instructions (PDF Version 1.3 MB) needed in order to build the breadboard menorah with the shamash on the end rather than in the middle. Please read all the way through prior to bending or clipping any resistors or jumpers!

In Step 2

• One of the 0.5” jumpers should be left straight and unclipped
• One more of the 0.5” jumpers should be made 0.7” instead
• Use a clipped lead from one of the resistors (ideally from one trimmed to 0.4” length) to make an extra 0.4” jumper (which will look like a staple)
• Bend the 51 ohm resistor into a U-shape

In step 3C

• The switch goes in row i (instead of j) from 30 to 33

In step 3E

• The extra 0.7” jumper goes from 50 f to 55 c
• Use extra 0.4” jumper goes from 32 j to the lower blue stripe
• The 51 ohm resistor goes from 31 c to 32 c

In step 4

• Prepare a Red LED according to the procedure for the Yellow LED, instead twisting one zero-ohm jumper to each leg. On the long lead of the LED, place the body of the jumper slightly lower so that you can tell them apart. Insert from 55 a (long lead) to the blue stripe (short lead).

In Step 5

• The Yellow LED goes from 31 a to the blue stripe
