4 RGB Blinkie Kit

Dwayne found a closeout on a large number of very nice RGB square LEDs and created a prototype to showoff to Dale. The plan to convince him it was worth the investment to buy the LEDs worked...

It's a 1.4" by 2.2" double-sided circuit board with a mounting pin on the back side that requires assembly and soldering. It has 4 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 2007 at Duckon 16.

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

4 RGB Blinkie Kit

• Uses RGB Square LEDs
• IR transmitter
• IR receiver
