 The LEDs should be soldered with the PCB and panel attached and perfectly aligned. The two parts of the PCB should also have been joined with soldered wire before soldering LEDs. The LEDs should be soldered with the PCB and panel attached and perfectly aligned.

 Place LEDs into the PCB. Take extra care when placing the LEDs into the PCB. In particular, the Step View LED is of a different orientation to others nearby. Attach the panel. Flip the attached PCB and panel. Lay it down with the panel slightly raised so the LEDs can fall into the holes (the switch caps and/or encoder shafts keep it raised). Use LED leads to position LED into the panel holes. Solder the longer leads of all the LEDs. Check all the LEDs are at the same height - ones that are not can be adjusted by pushing the LED while reheating the solder joint. Place LEDs into the PCB.

 I used 220 Ohm resistors for SmashTV'​s green 3mm LEDs and 220 Ohm for SmashTV'​s red 5mm LED (the "​Beat"​ LED). For the bicolor LEDs I used (and may come with your PCB), I used 470 Ohm for the green and 1K for the red. I used 220 Ohm resistors for SmashTV'​s green 3mm LEDs and 220 Ohm for SmashTV'​s red 5mm LED (the "​Beat"​ LED).

 +to figure out that your problems with that pcb are softwareside (buggy firmware, or false hw-config), you can test all Buttons and LEDs with that firmware:\\
