Proto-PIC Lighthouse Beginners Soldering Kit

Regular price $11.65
(Suitable for ages 11 years and over)

Do you want to try your hand at soldering or brush up on your soldering skills? Then why not try our lighthouse soldering kit? The PCB comes in 2 parts: the main PCB, where you solder the 11 components; and the base PCB, which slots into the bottom of the light house and with a couple of blobs of solder gives your lighthouse a strong and stable stand.

Once soldered this will emulate an Isophase lighthouse but fear not all you lovers of Occulting lighthouses by changing the value of the resistors you can change the flashing pattern.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to Australian legislation on coin cell batteries, an alternative battery holder is provided instead of the coin cell holder. DO NOT USE a coin cell battery as they present a hazard for children. For more information see: https://www.productsafety.gov.au/products/electronics-technology/button-batteries
