This component is important that be identified in its ends because it only has two polarities (+ & -).  In this case, two ends are negatives.  For this project, you need to use an unregulated wall adapter/transformer 9V, 600mA of positive center so that it can function correctly.

Identify the LEDs

Itis important to understand that the LED has that characteristic in its terminals one shorter that other so that you can identify its cathode or negative terminal.

Identify the Voltage Regulator

Observe the photo attached in this step, and take your switch and put it on the table as you can see it on the diagram.

Observe the Diagram

Observe the diagram and check the components jointly.

Install the DC Power Jack
