The holiday season is the perfect time to let your maker skills shine. After all, it’s all about bright lights, intricate patterns, and cheerful electronics. To that end, this USB & supercapacitor-powered LED Xmas tree is a great way to teaching soldering skills while also embracing the spirit of the season.
The kit comes with the bare PCB board, 8 resistor 1206 4K7, 4R7, and two optional part numbers. You can opt to include 7 color LEDs in the kit, or use your own 0805 or 3528 LEDs. There is also an optional supercapacitor 2F/5V so that it can be charged for about 5 minutes, then run for 30-60 minutes without a cord.
However you decide to ring in the new year, have a safe and happy holiday season!
