This learn to solder kit is a fun little project for someone wanting to work on their soldering skills.
Follow along with the video and you will make a little board that the lights flash across and the speed of the flashing can be changed by turning the pot.
Feature:
The Kit does not include a power supply. It needs an input of 3-5v. We use the battery pack here
Power supply voltage: 3-5V
PCB Size: 88 x 25mm
This kit is not included instruction.
How it works:
This kit is made up main circuit and decimal counter circuit, from the core of the self-excited NE555 multivibrator power through R2, R3, R4 charge the capacitor C1, C1 started when charging , NE555 2 feet still in low, so the output pin 3 goes high when power through R2, R3, R4 to charge C1 to 2/3 of the supply voltage , the output pin 3 level from high to low , NE555 conducting internal discharge , capacitor C1 through R4, R3, NE555 7 feet discharge until the voltage across C1 is less than 1 /3 of the supply voltage , NE555 and 3 feet level from low to high . C1 and charge again this cycle oscillations formed . Charging time : 0.695 (R2 + R3 + R4) C1, discharge time : 0.695 (R4 + R3) C1, R4 can be adjusted to control the output frequency of the oscillator , the oscillation clock signal is applied continuously NE555 CD4017 14 feet , the output terminal 10 is connected with the CD4017 10 LED, when the output terminal 10 turns CD4017 generated clock signal is applied at a high level , the D1 - D10 are sequentially lit to form a water -light effect .
You can adjust the flow rate adjustment R4 LED lights .
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
