"My PLACE" - an intro to soldering project
- "My Place" was created to give students a LOT of solder practice. The word "place" and the border are all soldering practice - the resistors are not part of the LED circuit.
- the "grid" is where students can put their name, initials, or anything else they want using resistors - again just practice, not part of the circuit. Students love "personalizing" the project.
- After honing their soldering skills, the students solder the LEDs and test the operation.
- Then they solder the control board - resistors, transistors, capacitors, battery leads and USB jack.
- "MY PLACE" stands upright on a desktop as the battery acts as a support.
- the DP3T switch changes power from 9v to USB.
