hi,i am buiding a p3 too!! read this:in the section diy P3 web site version 4 The process I use for fitting the LEDs to the correct height is the same as for the Function switch board. I put the LEDs loosely into their holes, making sure to observe the correct orientation, then fit the board to the panel, and feed the LEDs into the panel holes so they are all at an even height. N.B.These Tri-colour LEDs have 2 anodes and a common cathode. The anode for the RED LED has a right-angle at the top of the component leg. The GREEN LED has a 45 degree angle at the top of the leg. The RED anode should go toward to top of the board, and the GREEN anode in the hole with the square around it on the component overlay. Here's the board with the LEDs just sitting in place - not soldered ! good luck Boops
