Before you make the project on an PCB you should test it on a breadboard first, so you don do any mistakes that you can't fix.

  1. Cut the PCB in 8x9 pin holes.
  2. Cut an male AUX cable in the length you want to use and burn off the protection around the 3 wires.
  3. Bedd the pins on your LEDs and TIP31C.
  4. cut the 2 wires from your 9v battery clip in the length you want it to be in.

After some time of usage the connections to the battery and AUX cable is going to fall off so glue some hot glue over the wires to make them hold on the PCB.

The last step is just to plug in the AUX and play some good music. To add speakers to your project just use an AUX splitter.
