14 | You can also place components on both sides. To change the side which a component is on, click F. If you want to start drawing from the other side, click V and draw your traces normally. At last, traces can also switch sides in the middle of routing: press V to add a via, which will take your trace to the other side of the board.

18 | In the PCB above, we can see that the battery holder is blue, so it's on the backside. The text of the resistors are of a darker yellow, so they are also on the back side.

20 | ## Ground Pours
21 |
22 | Routing all that GND traces is getting booring. How about we fill all the empty space with copper and get done with it?
23 |
24 | Select _Draw Filled Zones_ on the right, and press on one end of your board to start drawing. You will be prompted a menu, where you should check both "F.Cu" and "B.Cu". On the Net menu, select GND and press ok. Now you can continue drawing a area around your PCB!

28 | After that's done, press B to fill your zone, and voila! Your ground pour is done, and you won't need to route your ground.
29 |
30 | Just one last thing: Press Control+Shift+X and place some vias all around your ground pour to conntect both sides of your board.

32 | ## A Keychain Hole
33 |
34 | If you want to add a keychain hole to the PCB, press control+shift+x to place a via, then press E and enter 5 for via hole, and 5.5 for via diameter! Now you have a plated hole :D

91 | Solder is a program by Hack Club, free for teens worldwide! Ends June 30th.
93 |1. Learn about electrical components
98 |2. Design your PCB
99 |3. Submit what you made
100 |4. We'll ship you your kit
101 |5. Solder your project together
102 |whether it be making...
109 | 110 |a simple keychain that lights up
the internals of a 555 timer from scratch
116 |
118 | you could do a lot with a few simple parts!
125 |what's in the kit?
131 |... and a grant to manufacture the printed circuit board you designed!
210 |Plus, a soldering iron (and solder) if you don't have one!
211 | 212 | {/* 213 |... want to make something more complex?
215 |choose an add-on kit!
216 |LEDs
221 |this is enough to make a 3x3x3 led matrix!
227 |Cool Parts :tm:
230 |fun stuff here
237 |Transistors
240 |this is enough two whole 555 timers!
