Kit 40: Michigan Crossroads Council Stem Fest Blinkie
The heart of this blinkie is a tiny chip embedded in each of the LEDs. When power is applied, the chip
tells the LED to blink or fade colors.
By building this blinkie, we hope you have a lot of fun, learn how easy it is to assemble and solder a
circuit, and gain a desire to learn more!
From a bag of parts: to a Blinkie you can wear!
First, open up the kit and review the contents. Looking at the left picture above:
From left to right, and top to bottom there should be the following parts:
• Two LEDs
• Tie Tack (separated into clasp, and pin)
• Power switch
• Michigan Crossroads (Council) STEM QUEST circuit board
• CR2032 battery
• CR2032 Battery holder
Got everything to start? If not, give us a shout.
“How to solder” will be covered briefly in “Assembly”, but a detailed description may be found at the end
of these instructions.
Assembly
Take a look at the completed picture above right. The only components that are inserted on the front are
the LEDs and the bottom of the tie tack pin. Both are soldered on the back. The power switch and battery
holder are placed on the back, and soldered on the front.
