3. Place the resistor into a free space on the breadboard, and connect it to
   another free space above or below the lamp stand.

4. Locate pin **27** on the ESP32 development board. Connect a wire from
   **pin 27** of the ESP32 to one of the free slot in the same breadboard
   column as the resistor.

5. Connect a wire from a **GND pin** of the ESP32 to the other free slot
   below the LED holder.

6. Connect a wire to each leg of the LED in the lamp bulb. Remember the color
   of the cables that connects to the short leg of the LED.

7. Attach one LED wire to each side of the lamp stand.
   Ensure that the **long leg of the LED (anode)** is connected to the
   **resistor side**, and the **short leg (cathode)** goes to **ground**.


9. Insert the USB cable into the board, and plug it in. The LED should blink.

Your solar flare alert lamp is now physically assembled and ready to connect to the WiFi.
