Laser Light Show

This document provides instructions for assembling the components of a laser light show system, including a handheld remote unit and a base unit. It includes parts placement diagrams and details the steps for assembling each board, such as mounting integrated circuits, connecting potentiometers and switches, drilling holes for buttons and lights, and proper orientation of transistors and capacitors. Wiring is completed by soldering connections between boards and components. The assembled remote and base units are then tested and prepared for use with the laser light show system.
