Identify Pins
You need to identify the pins for the positive and negative on the USB and also the input/output of the regulator.
Begin Soldering/Assembly
-If you are using one battery skip this step: solder the positive of one clip to the positive of the other battery clip and do the same to the negative (series)
-Solder the negative coming from power to the first pin of your regulator
-Solder the negative from the USB and the negative from the power to the middle pin of the regulator
-Solder the positive from the USB to the third pin of your regulator
-Solder the negative coming from power to the first pin of your regulator
-Solder the negative from the USB and the negative from the power to the middle pin of the regulator
-Solder the positive from the USB to the third pin of your regulator
