14 RGB Stick

The 19 LED Stick has proved to be very popular and so Dwayne wanted to improve on the design. Thus the 14 RGB Stick was designed.

It's a 2.0" by 8.25" double-sided circuit board with a hole for hanging from a lariat that requires assembly and soldering. It has 14 RGB LEDs that will display various user-selectable patterns. There is an IR emitter and receiver for two way communication to other blinkie boards. This blinkie design was introduced in 2008 at Duckon 17.

Some beginners (and some experts) have had trouble soldering the four battery holders to the board. The circuit boards come with these components already soldered on.
