Steps
12. (Optional) Insert 100uF capacitor
(Optional) Insert 100uF capacitor as shown. This capacitor acts as a decoupling capacitor on the power and ground rails to remove any noise from the supply lines.
13. Insert diodes
Insert diodes as shown. The black band across each diode should be on the side of the diode that is closest to the bottom of the board. (If you use 1N4001 diodes, then the band will be white.) Conventional current flows in one direction through a diode and comes out on the side with the black band.
14. Insert switch
Insert switch as shown. The C (common) terminal of the switch connects to pin 13 of the 4017B decade counter. The NC (normally closed) terminal connects to the ground rail, and the NO (normally open) terminal connects to the +9V rail.
15. Insert LEDs
Insert the LEDs as shown. The longer leg of each LED should be closer to the top of the board where the large capacitor is.
16. Plug in 9V battery
Plug in your 9V battery. All of the LEDs will light up when the button is pressed because the die is "rolling" and counting from one to six at about 4kHz. When the button is released, the result of the die roll is displayed on the LEDs.
