Dark Side of the Moon... Cat - wonderful simple kit to solder and love - Please don't stare!

This kit consists of 27 LEDs a simple circuit and a nice wooden box to hide the battery. First you solder a simple LED 3D cube with 3x3x3 LEDs. The total of 27 LEDs shine in bright colors. The box with a power switch and a battery holder for AA looks very good on the desk.No programming knowledge is needed, just a little soldering skill. After that, the LEDs shine independently in all colors of the rainbow.

A very simple soldering kit with four LEDs. The four LEDs are connected with a few wires to a battery holder. As soon as a battery is inserted, the LEDs light up in all colors of the rainbow. Thanks to the clothespin, you can easily attach the artwork afterwards. No big soldering skills are needed for this kit. It is really ideal even for children and teenagers.The name comes from the unit "Nibble". A nibble is a unit for four bits (half a byte).

The Kitchenhead kit is ideal for learning SMD soldering. The Kitchenkopf kit has 21 SMD LEDs on the board that light up in different animations and display the logo of the Hackspace Binary Kitchen e.V..The animation is made possible with a microcontroller, which is already pre-programmed with the kit.With this SMD kit, first steps with SMD soldering can be made. SMD components of the size 0805 are used. In the SMD world this is relatively large. Because of the size and the components used you will have longer fun with the kit and can thus learn new skills of SMD soldering.

This kit is a simple dice to play with.The 7 LEDs a randomized number between 1 and 6 after pressing the button. The randomness is made possible by a great analog circuit.The kit is ideal for beginners and advanced players, because no programming is necessary and many different components must be installed. Through a more extensive kit, many soldering skills can be learned playfully.

If you want to build, test or develop your own circuits, there is no way around a breadboards. What would the breadboards be without the right cables? This set contains a total of 140 wire bridges in 14 lengths, i.e. 10 pieces per length. This is enough for many circuits and if you are in doubt you can simply get more wire jumpers. The advantage of the pre-bent and prepared lengths is the overview on the breadboards . Especially for beginners, it is difficult to follow a circuit correctly if you first have to fight your way through a tangle of wires. This is difficult even for professionals.The cable set for breadboards contains (in brackets are the lengths of the holes/steps on a standard breadboard that can connect these cables): 10x 2mm (2 steps) 10x 5mm (3 steps) 10x 7mm (4 steps) 10x 10mm (5 steps) 10x 12mm (6 steps) 10x 15mm (7 steps) 10x 17mm (8 steps) 10x 20mm (9 steps) 10x 22mm (10 steps) 10x 25mm (11 steps) 10x 50mm (21 steps) 10x 75mm (30 steps) 10x 100mm (41 steps) 10x 125mm (50 Steps) The 140 wires come in a handy little box.Show us your circuitWe at blinkyparts are super excited to hear what circuits you tinker with.

How cool are axolotls? If you're as big a fan as we are, or want to become one, then this badge is just the thing for you. When you have finished soldering the Axolotl soldering kit, the eyes and gills of your Axolotl will glow in all the colors of the rainbow. The best thing is: with this soldering kit you can easily make a great pin, pendant or necklace even as a beginner. You only have to solder 6 components on the back. For those who already know a bit about soldering: The LEDs are THT, i.e. through-hole components. They are soldered to the surface on the back. We used this trick to avoid having holes on the front. Well, we left one hole to hang the axolotl on a keychain or somewhere else. This way, the axo can shine in all its glory and shine without any flaws.For all those who are not yet that far: don't worry! Detailed and well-tested instructions will guide you through this little soldering adventure.You can find a video of the rainbow colours here: https://youtu.be/xomhgZGvNyQ In the video we show you the front and back of the Axolotl soldering kit. You also get an impression of the animation of the LEDs. In the picture gallery you will also find an animated picture. The animation is normally much slower. The gif is a time-lapse recording.Target groupThe electronic soldering kit is designed for beginners. Adults and children alike can have fun with the unicorn soldering kit, although of course you should not let children solder alone. Relatively large components are used, which make it easy to learn how to solder. Only 6 components need to be soldered. This is also possible for absolute beginners in a reasonable amount of time. And the shape? Axolotl fan club is the best! It's best to order a kit or two at the same time, because as you can imagine, the rocket or unicorn soldering kit is a popular gift for friends, partners or children.The components in the axolotl soldering kitOur kits always contain all the components you need for soldering. Unfortunately, we cannot send you the batteries. However, you can get them from hardware stores and larger supermarkets (more on this below under "Tools and accessories"). The soldering kit includes:The circuit boardThe circuit board is the heart of our axolotl. It forms the outline and the place to solder all the components. The board is made of fiberglass material which is coated with a gold alloy. A white coating of varnish is applied on top of it. Some parts of the board are slightly transparent. This creates the great effects on the exhaust jet and the porthole.RGB LEDsThis is where the magic happens! RGB stands for red-green-blue and describes the different colours of the LED. It looks like one LED, but there are 3 tiny little LEDs that slowly change through an integrated circuit. This gives you all the colours of the rainbow. Look closely, the black dot you find in the LED is the entire circuit! Yes really, so tiny! Just connect 3V and the LED lights up in all colours. There are four RGB LEDs in the Rocket soldering kit.The SMD battery holderThe battery holder for CR2032 batteries is included in the kit in an SMD version. It is soldered onto the surface like the other components. How to do this is described in the soldering instructions. We made sure that the SMD battery holder is very easy to solder on. The battery itself is then simply plugged in. The battery lasts for 4-8 hours of continuous operation. So you should switch off your rocket to save some power. You can get more in any well-stocked supermarket, in hardware stores and Swedish furniture stores.A switchOf course, a switch is also included! The switch is easy to operate and therefore ideal for children (and adult hands). The switch locks and stays in the position (on or off) you want the switch to be in. A great perceptible "click" provides haptic and acoustic comfort.Needed toolsHow the minimal soldering workplace looks like is described here: The soldering workplace To make the MINT-Labs rocket glow, you need to get one CR2032 battery per rocket at the hardware store or a big supermarket/shop. Also, a pair of tweezers is very helpful for this kit :) Instructions and helpTo make it easy for you to solder the kit, we have put together detailed instructions with lots of pictures and individual steps for each of our kits. There you will be guided step by step through the assembly and there are many tips and tricks on how to solder correctly. For the majority of our soldering kits there are also interactive circuits with the names of the components and the tracks. All instructions are available in German and English. For environmental reasons we do not print our instructions. In fact, it is better to view them on screen, as you can then zoom into the high-resolution photos to see details.

The manufacturing is of very high quality. The easily exchangeable tips also make the mini soldering iron flexible to use. However, the price clearly makes it the first soldering iron for a beginner. The Pinecil will definitely be a long-lasting companion for life. The scope of delivery The scope of delivery of the Pinecil v2 is limited to the most important things you need. Of course, the soldering iron itself is included. The latest firmware is already flashed on the Pinecil. There is also a short, pointed soldering tip. The short tip gets hot particularly quickly! A power supply unit or USB cable is not included. Take a look at the accessories in our shop. You need at least a power supply and a cable. Compatible power supplies The hollow plug socket is not protected against polarity reversal! You must make sure that you use a compatible power supply unit. You can find a list from the manufacturer here: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Pinecil_Power_Supplies We recommend only USB-C power supplies with 65W and 20V. (Attention: Many power supplies do not have a real 65W on one port and distribute the power e.g. to two sockets). The original power supply from Pinecil is excellent. Also the power station. Recommended cables It should definitely be a USB-C to USB-C cable. Since it is a soldering iron, a silicone cable is also extremely practical. Silicone cables are heat-resistant and will not break if accidentally touched. Check out our accessories, we have suitable USB cables in stock! Other accessouries There are several other accessories for the Pinecil v2: Mini stand Although you can simply place the Pinecil on its soldering pad, because the tip does not overlap at the front, a small stand with a sponge or metal wool is practical for cleaning the tip. Other tips There are many other tip sizes. From tiny pencil tips to wide wedge tips, all tips can be used. By the way: The Pinecil v1 soldering tips are compatible with the Pinecil v2. Open Source and Community The Pinecil is a community project. This means that many developers have worked together to perfect the piece of hardware and the software. The community has made sure that the components are open source. This means that there is no trade secret about how the soldering irons are constructed. You can simply download the instructions and circuit diagrams from the internet. This has the advantage that a possible repair is also made much easier, since it is clear which components have been used. The community also ensures that the soldering iron corresponds exactly to the wishes and needs of the solderers. A really great piece of hardware. The PINECIL's software is also open source, so it is easy to make adjustments. It is quite easy to create your own temperature curves or programme a specific response. Built-in motion sensors allow the soldering iron to quickly switch between stand-by mode and operating temperature. Differences between v1 and v2 The new version v2 brings a number of new features. Among the most important are: Bluetooth: It is now possible, for example, for a fan control to switch on automatically when the iron is in use. A shorter tip: This makes the soldering iron even easier to hold and it gets hot even faster. Improved power supply: The power supply has been improved and stabilised.

Hearts are always good! And this heart is a homage to a very special chip: the NE555, 50 years old and one of the most widely used chips in the world... Still is!From mobile phones to blinker kits to satellites, this beautiful chip is used everywhere! In this THT heart kit, the chip sits appropriately in the middle on the circuit board and drives the pulse of the heart. The heart itself consists of many red 3mm THT LEDs with a so-called tracking circuit. Two LEDs light up at the same time and follow each other... whether they will ever reach each other? In addition, a switch on the back can be flipped to make the heart glow permanently. Of course, in the chaser version you can set the speed of the chase yourself with a potentiometer. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)The best thing is: With this soldering kit, even beginners can easily solder a heart for themselves or as a gift. There are a few through-hole components to solder, and it looks like a lot of solder joints at first, but the kit is still relatively easy to solder if you follow our good illustrated instructions. You just have to follow a certain order, then soldering is no problem at all!Target groupThe electronic soldering kit is designed for beginners. Adults and children alike can have fun with the THT Heart soldering kit, although you should not let children solder alone. Relatively large components are used, which make it easy to learn how to solder. This is also possible for absolute beginners in a reasonable amount of time. And the shape? Of course, you must have soldered a heart for yourself or your loved ones at some point in your life. It's best to order one or two at the same time, because as you can imagine, the heart is a popular gift for friends, partners or children.The components in the NE555 heart soldering kitOur kits always contain all the components you need for soldering. Unfortunately we cannot send you the batteries. However, you can get them from DIY stores and larger supermarkets (more on this below under "Tools and accessories"). The soldering kit includesThe circuit boardsThe circuit boards are the heart of the kit. They form the outline and the space to solder all the components. The circuit board is made of fibreglass material which is coated with a gold alloy. A multi-coloured lacquer layer is applied on top.The NE555On the board there is one smaller and two larger chips. The smaller chip is an NE555 that acts as a bistable flip-flop to provide the necessary clock. The two CD4017s (the larger chips) then dutifully count through all the LEDs and ensure that they light up.The LEDs and the other chicken foodOn the front side, many red 3mm THT LEDs are put through the board and soldered on. Even when switched off, this gives you a wonderful heart. But as soon as the circuit is powered up and switched on, everyone's eyes get big! Apart from that, there are some switches, slide switches and some chicken feed, i.e. other components.The battery holderWhat would a circuit be without power. Power is provided by a CR2032 battery that is securely fastened in a battery holder. The circuit itself and also the LEDs need relatively little power, so you can run the heart for a very long time with one CR2032.One push switch and several slide switchesOf course, there are also a couple of switches included! The push switch is easy to operate and therefore ideal for children (and adult hands). The switch locks in place and stays in the position (on or off) you want the switch to be in. A great perceptible "click" provides haptic and acoustic comfort. A slide switch sort for continuous lighting or chase LED.Tools neededHow the minimal soldering workstation looks like is described here: Der LötarbeitsplatzTo light up the NE555 heart, you will need to get some batteries from a DIY store or a large supermarket/shop.Also, an electric side cutter is very helpful for this kit :) Instructions and helpTo make it easy for you to solder the kit, we have put together detailed instructions with lots of pictures and individual steps for each of our kits.

This is Katie - The cat! Katie is a cat with two eye colours! Look deep into her eyes and you will see her beautiful two-coloured eyes. Heterochromatic eyes! Katie is a black cat who likes to live in boxes. Katie is a wonderful and easy soldering kit for anyone who wants to learn to solder or wants a great cat for company. What's special about Katie the Cat. Katie was designed by Franziska Breunig herself when she was 11 years old. From the circuit design to the board! How cool is that?The best thing is: with this soldering kit you can easily make a great pin, pendant or necklace even as a beginner. You only have to solder 6 components on the back. For those who already know a bit about soldering: The LEDs are THT, i.e. through-hole components. They are soldered to the surface on the back. We used this trick to get the special effect of the eyes.For those who are not yet ready: never mind! Detailed and well-tested instructions will guide you through this little soldering adventure.Target groupThe electronic soldering kit is designed for beginners. Franziska has also written the instructions and we have taken special care to use simple language. Adults and children alike can have fun with the cat soldering kit, although of course you should not let children solder alone. Relatively large components are used, making it easy to learn how to solder. Only 6 components need to be soldered. This can be done in a reasonable amount of time even by absolute beginners. The shape shows the cat Katie with her two different eyes looking at you playfully. It's best to order one or two other kits at the same time, because as you can imagine, Katie loves company and the other soldering kits make a great gift for friends and family.The components in the Katie the Cat kitOur kits always include all the components you need for soldering. Unfortunately, we cannot send you the batteries. However, you can get them from hardware stores and larger supermarkets (more on this below under "Tools and accessories"). The soldering kit includes:The Board (PCB)The circuit board is the heart and gives Katie her beautiful shape. It forms the outline and the space to solder all the components. The board is made of fibreglass material which is coated with a gold alloy. A layer of black lacquer is applied on top. There are two holes in the board, which allow the LEDs to shine from the back.The LEDsThis is where the magic happens! And they do it twice. Once in green and once in blue they make the eyes shine, both the eyes that solder the kit and the eyes of the cat. The colour was chosen especially for you by Franziska. The brightness is also perfectly matched!The SMD battery holderThe battery holder for CR2032 batteries is included in the kit in an SMD design. It is soldered onto the surface like the other components. How to do this is described in the soldering instructions. We made sure that the SMD battery holder is very easy to solder on. The battery itself is then simply plugged in. The battery lasts for many hours of continuous operation. If you don't want Katie to be there for you with shining eyes, you can switch her off with a switch. You can buy more batteries in any well-stocked supermarket, in hardware stores and Swedish furniture stores. It's best to buy 1-2 more batteries ;).A Push ButtonOf course, a switch is also included! The button is easy to operate and therefore ideal for children (and adult hands). The switch locks and remains in the position (on or off) in which you want the switch to be. A great perceptible "click" ensures haptic and acoustic well-being.Required ToolsHere we describe what the minimum soldering workstation looks like: The soldering workplaceTo make Katie's eyes light up, you'll need to get another CR2032 battery per soldering kit at the hardware store or a large supermarket/Swedish home furnishing store.Also, tweezers are particularly helpful for this kit :) Instructions and HelpTo make it easy for you to solder the kit, we have set up detailed instructions with lots of pictures and individual steps for each of our kits.

When we laser our Humos, there are always a few pieces of wood left over. We don't know what to do with them, but I'm sure you have an idea! Use the boards for handicrafts, as signs or burn a nice picture into them. Maybe just paint them? Get creative and show us what you have done :). The wooden parts are made of 3mm poplar plywood. The square parts are about 51x51mm. The round elements have a diameter of 110mm. The usual delivery is 1x round, 4x square. If you need more, please write us an email. The wooden parts are free of charge. We reserve the right to omit the wooden elements if they no longer fit in the package or if the next higher weight class is due to the weight. Also only while stocks last.

The great rainbow unicorn is something very special. Once soldered, the tail, horn and mane shine almost magically in all the colours of the rainbow. The best thing is: with this soldering kit you can easily make a great pin, pendant or necklace even as a beginner. You only have to solder 6 components on the back. For those who already know a bit about soldering: The LEDs are THT, i.e. through-hole components. They are soldered to the surface on the back. We used this trick to avoid having holes on the front.

This creates the great effects on the tail and horn! RGB LEDsThis is where the magic happens! RGB stands for red-green-blue and describes the different colours of the LED. It looks like one LED, but there are 3 tiny little LEDs that slowly change through an integrated circuit. This gives you all the colours of the rainbow. Look closely, the black dot you find in the LED is the entire circuit! Yes really, so tiny! Just connect 3V and the LED lights up in all colours. There are four RGB LEDs in the Unicorn soldering kit.The SMD battery holderThe battery holder for CR2032 batteries is included in the kit in an SMD version. It is soldered onto the surface like the other components. How to do this is described in the soldering instructions. The battery itself is then simply plugged in.

With this great 3D kit you can solder your very own daisy. The best thing about it: There is a super large RGB LED in the middle of the flower. Unlike our unicorns and rockets, you can set the colour yourself. The intensity of the colours red, blue and green can be adjusted with three large variable resistors, so-called potentiometers. Depending on the mixture, you can create your own personal favourite colour.Another potentiometer on the back can be used to adjust the overall brightness. In addition, you can switch off the individual colours to 100% via slide switches and, for example, mix only two colours.Another potentiometer on the back can be used to adjust the overall brightness.

Recommended cables It should definitely be a USB-C to USB-C cable. Since it is a soldering iron, a silicone cable is also extremely practical. Silicone cables are heat-resistant and will not break if accidentally touched. Check out our accessories, we have suitable USB cables in stock! Other accessouries There are several other accessories for the Pinecil v2: Mini stand Although you can simply place the Pinecil on its soldering pad, because the tip does not overlap at the front, a small stand with a sponge or metal wool is practical for cleaning the tip. Other tips There are many other tip sizes. From tiny pencil tips to wide wedge tips, all tips can be used. By the way: The Pinecil v1 soldering tips are compatible with the Pinecil v2. Open Source and Community The Pinecil is a community project. This means that many developers have worked together to perfect the piece of hardware and the software. The community has made sure that the components are open source. This means that there is no trade secret about how the soldering irons are constructed. You can simply download the instructions and circuit diagrams from the internet. This has the advantage that a possible repair is also made much easier, since it is clear which components have been used. The community also ensures that the soldering iron corresponds exactly to the wishes and needs of the solderers. A really great piece of hardware. The PINECIL's software is also open source, so it is easy to make adjustments. It is quite easy to create your own temperature curves or programme a specific response. Built-in motion sensors allow the soldering iron to quickly switch between stand-by mode and operating temperature. Differences between v1 and v2 The new version v2 brings a number of new features. Among the most important are: Bluetooth: It is now possible, for example, for a fan control to switch on automatically when the iron is in use. A shorter tip: This makes the soldering iron even easier to hold and it gets hot even faster. Improved power supply: The power supply has been improved and stabilised.

The energy turnaround is in full swing and great balcony power plants are sprouting up on every balcony. It's beautiful!With this OpenDTU Board kit you can read out your balcony solar power plant, display the data and even control it. The prerequisite is an inverter from Hoymiles. A small display always shows the current power production.The project was started by Thomas and Jan and can of course be found under open source licence here:https://github.com/tbnobody/OpenDTU (there you will also find a list of compatible inverters).This breakout board is 100% compatible and was created together with the developers of the software. On the board there is a special radio module that speaks the radio standard of the inverters. This is read out by an ESP32 module, processed and can be further processed via WLAN, e.g. with MQTT.The board also has connections for a display and an RGB LED strip, which may be supported in a future version.Scope of Delivery In the scope of delivery, you will receive all the necessary components: a display, an ESP32, and an antenna module. You just need to solder them together and enter your Hoymiles serial number, and you're ready to go! The ESP32 is already pre-flashed.CompatibilityThis kit uses the NRF24L01+ module and is compatible with the following Hoymiles models: Hoymiles HM-300 Hoymiles HM-350 Hoymiles HM-400 Hoymiles HM-600 Hoymiles HM-700 Hoymiles HM-800 Hoymiles HM-1000 Hoymiles HM-1200 Hoymiles HM-1500 Solenso SOL-H350 Solenso SOL-H400 Solenso SOL-H800 TSUN TSOL-M350 TSUN TSOL-M800 TSUN TSOL-M1600If you are looking for a module with CMT2300A for the HMS and HMT series from Hoymiles, we will soon have a separate kit available.FeaturesRead out live data from the inverter Display the inverter's internal event log Display inverter information such as firmware version, firmware build date, hardware revision and hardware version View and set the current inverter threshold Power off/on function of the inverter Uses ESP32 microcontroller and NRF24L01+ multi-inverter support MQTT support (with TLS) Home Assistant MQTT Auto Discovery support Beautiful and fancy WebApp with visualisation of current data Firmware upgrade via the Web UI Standard source supports up to 10 inverters Time zone support Prometheus API endpoint (/api/prometheus/metrics) English, German and French web interface Direct connection of displays (SSD1306, SH1106, PCD8544) Dark theme in the web interfaceThe HousingThe kit comes with a high-quality 3D printed housing.
