If you’re often engrossed in making interesting projects for your own entertainment, it’s understandable if you forget holidays once in a while. So, to put the word out, Valentine’s day is coming up on February 14th, less than a month away.
For something that combines your love of technology with this special holiday, the Heart: Wearable Blinky-Board Soldering Skills Kit meshes the two into a fun badge that blinks two LEDs back and forth when the lights dim. It uses a CR2032 battery for power, and a pair of transistors and capacitors, along with few resistors and an LDR for control. It’s a great little blinky badge that makes for fun soldering practice with several different types of components that are spread out enough to keep things fun and not frustrating.
Check it out blinking away with several similar badges in the video below:
This would also be a great take on the homemade gift from kids to mom or dad, making something interesting, while learning a little bit about electronics at the same time! If you’d like one of the other shapes featured here, they’re available on the Kevin Wright – Makerbytes store.
