Introduction:

It is an Airplane Flashing LED Circuit Electronic Kit. It can simulate the flickering effect of airplane lights and create a very artistic desktop decoration.

Soldering Learning】 The icstation airplane kit includes a few DIP components and 7 LED flashing lights, making it suitable for beginners to grasp basic circuit knowledge and practice soldering skills. Follow the detailed instruction manual, it takes approximately an hour for you to complete the soldering of this kit. The soldering process is relatively simple, making it an ideal choice for beginners. Please pay attention to the polarity of the components during soldering.

School Education】This airplane kit can be served as a part of DIY projects, igniting students' creativity and interest in electronic devices. It can also be utilized in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) courses, assisting students in applying theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios.

Creative Gift】 You can personally solder and DIY an airplane flashing kit as a unique gift to kids. Alternatively, spend a memorable time with your son, daughter or grandson during a special soldering practice. Place it in the living room or on a desk, and it will become an exquisite decoration!

Install 1pc 1Kohm Metal Film Resistor At R3.

If a resistor come with 5 color bands, the 1st 3 bands represents its values, the 4th band represents the multiplier and the last band represents the tolerance. Eg: Brown 1, Black 0, Black 0, Brown 10 and Brown 1%, so it will be a 1000Ω (1Kohms) with 1% tolerance resistor.

Install 1pc 5.1Kohm Metal Film Resistor at R2
