Abstract
Embodiments relate to placing one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) onto a printed circuit board (PCB). Voltage differences are applied to the PCB such that, if properly placed, the one or more LEDs emit light. A camera records the placement and any light emitted from the one or more LEDs. Based upon the images from the camera, a controller can adjust placement parameters of the LEDs until they emit light. Among other advantages, the placement of the LEDs on the PCB can be adjusted in real time and allows insight into the causes of failed LED placement.
