Description
Stock up on soldering kits! These have been designed for beginning solderers and are perfect first projects. They feature a fun and colorful circuit board with just a small number of large through-hole components that are easy to solder. When you're finished, you have a fun ornament that you can wear as a pin or stick to your fridge with a magnet. First-time solderers can take up to 1 hr to assemble our kits, experienced solderers will take 10 minutes.
*Note that we are phasing out the use of coin cell batteries and some kits are now shipping with a solderable USB adapter mini-board and are no longer as portable or wearable.
Kits come with:
- Circuit Board
- All components to solder the kit incl LEDs, switches, and others
-
Batteries OR a solder-in USB power adapter - we are phasing out coin cell batteries and some kits may ship with the new adapter
-
Stick-on pin (only for kits that still ship with batteries)
You will need to provide your own soldering iron, solder, and soldering materials.
What's the difference between V1 & V2?
V1:
- Switch has 5 pins which are closer together
- Large GND planes making soldering GND pins take longer (need more heat)
V2:
- Switch has 3 pins which are further apart and harder to bridge
- Uses traces instead of power planes, GND pins solder just as easily as other pins
- More consistent LED orientation markings on all boards
- Has a small hole at the top for hanging with a jump ring or coil-less safety pin
