    • We are using a 3mm LED, which is smaller than a standard 5mm LED. The LED is optional, and your circuit will work fine without it.

    • The LED legs may be too long. You can easily cut them with a wire cutter or a pair of scissors. (Hold the part you are cutting so it doesn't fly away!)

    • You'll need to insert the tape into the slit so it folds over on the outside of the Classic Mac. (This is what allows our switch to work.)

  3. Once you have your circuit built you can fold it together.
    • Once you have your circuit built you can fold it together.
