Ok,so i got my max2 kit today and i'm @ 5C in the manual. But the manual doesnt include the rev7. On the bed i can only see 1 LED slot and 1 Resistor slot, but i got 2 LEDs and 2 Resistors.. so i guess they were just included in the kit in case i got a rev6,or what?
oh,and another thing in the manual; Strip about 1/8” from the white & green wires. These are used as the power wires for the hot
end LED and are installed as shown below. Make sure you've got the green wire attached to the “+”
pad and the white wire attached to the "-".
here's a picture of it. I don't have that that "HOT - + " tabs on my rev7 bed. So what do i do with the green and white cable then?

So this is what i've done so far. What are those tiny holes for at the top? There are 7 at the top and 7 right over the Thermistor hole.
oh and i don't have kapto tape yet,it's being shipped,so i'm gonna put some kapton on there when i get it

The tiny holes are to transfer the power to the otherside.

You can connect them either way, but you need the LED anode and cathode to line up accordingly. It doesn't technically matter which side of the LED you place the resistor on because it's just a series circuit, but my rule of thumb has always been to put the resistor on the anode side so that you drop the positive voltage. I'm used to working in cars where everything is ground, so you current limit the positive lead (to eliminate ground loops and make shorts less catastrophic).
I was going to provide you with an illustration, but I need to remind Oly that the Rev 7 bed isn't on GitHub yet.

You don't do anything with the green and white wires. The feature they were for was deleted from the design, so don't worry about it.
I'm going to be doing a major update to the assembly manual sometime after MFNY and all the multi-rev stuff will be deleted and will only contain the currently shipping stuff. It'll make it a lot easier on new builders that way.

Were they going to put an LED indicator in the bed for the hotend too?

Rev6 had that. That was a cool feature in my opinion

whew. glad I saw this while I was building mine. No rev 7 in the manual so assumed it was super new

.
I "think" the soldering is common sense just was thrown off by the extra LED and resistor..
also my base is soo not the same one as in the picture of the manual

that threw me off but I think I got it.

haha,yeah.. it was pretty straight forward, but i was also throw off by the extra led and resistor.

They changed the base to allow room for more ventilation for bigger PSUs. Instead of perforations, they put large holes
