the battery side of the remote’s button next to the

bottom lead of the transistor (the collector), and

the wire from the opposite side of the pushbutton

to the top transistor lead (the emitter).

In the hole to the right of the bottom lead (the

collector) of the transistor (the flat-faced side,

as we have it configured), plug in a 3" male-male

jumper wire. The other end goes to the GND pin

on the Boron (Figure

G

).

Behind the middle pin of the transistor (the

base), add a 2kΩ resistor that stretches over the

center channel of the breadboard (Figure

H

). You

may need to experiment with different values of

resistance, depending on what type of
