In this activity, you place and mirror the components on the circuit board. The exact positions are not critical, except for the LEDs, LM555ND timer, and JSTPH2, which should be in the relative positions shown. Resistors and capacitors should also be placed as shown relative to other components.
PCB components positions.
Position the timer on the PCB.
Click, hold, and drag pointer around the timer to select it. Click the handle of a timer in the center of the footprint.
Drag the timer on the PCB.
Click Design > Modify > Mirror .
