Rainbow butterfly: Beautiful necklace and simple soldering kit
Product number:

Product information "Rainbow butterfly: Beautiful necklace and simple soldering kit"
Let this beautiful butterfly fly with its bright colours! Once soldered, its wings shine brightly in all the colours of the rainbow. The bright spots stand out beautifully against its metal decorations. On the left and right of each wing are small eyelets for hanging on a chain and, of course, his filigree antennae must not be missing. Solder a real work of art and embellish yourself and your surroundings with it :).
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 way the butterfly can shine in all its glory and without any blemishes. With the soldered eyelets you can easily and safely thread the butterfly onto a chain.
For all those who are not yet ready: never mind! Detailed and well-tested instructions will guide you through this little soldering adventure.
A video of the rainbow colours can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8JFJ-eYq9o The video is from our unicorn but you get a nice impression of the smooth colour changes that make your butterfly look wonderful.
Target group
The 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 and a few wires need to be soldered. This is also possible for beginners in a reasonable amount of time. And the shape? A fantastically sleek butterfly. This is an eye-catcher for everyone! It's best to order a kit or two at the same time, because as you can imagine, the butterfly and our other rainbow soldering kits are popular gifts for friends, partners or children.
The components in the rainbow butterfly soldering kit
Our kits always include 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 includes:
The circuit board
The circuit board is the heart of the butterfly kit. It forms the outline and the space to solder all the components. The board is made of fibreglass material which is coated with a silver or gold alloy. On top of this comes a silky matt black lacquer layer. Some parts of the board are slightly transparent. This creates the great effects on the wings!
RGB LEDs
This 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 holder
The 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. The battery itself is then simply plugged in. The battery lasts for 4-8 hours of continuous operation. So you should switch off your butterfly when you don't need it to save some power. You can get a refill in any well-stocked supermarket, in do-it-yourself stores and Swedish furniture stores.
A Switch
Of course, a switch is also included! The 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.
Required tools
Here we describe what the minimum soldering workstation looks like: The soldering workstation
To make the butterfly glow, you need to buy one CR2032 battery per butterfly kit at the DIY store or a big supermarket/shop. It's best to buy 1-2 more batteries!
A pair of tweezers is also very useful for this kit :). A pair of round-nose pliers will help you bend the wire eyelets and the antennae. But you can also use a normal pair of pliers and a little patience.
Instructions and help
To 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 most 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. On each kit you will find a QR code or link to the instructions.
You can find all the instructions as PDF files at the following link: https://binary-kitchen.github.io/SolderingTutorial
Just click on "DE" or "EN" for the right kit and you can download a PDF.
3D printed case
Max has built a wonderful case for the butterfly. You can find all the data you need to print it yourself here: https://gitlab.com/M4x__/rainbow-butterfly-snap-fit-case
Lovingly packed for you by hand
All soldering kits are lovingly packed for you by hand in Germany. Unfortunately, it happens from time to time that a component is packed too much or too little. If something is too much: No problem! Keep the components and use them for your creations! If something is missing: No problem! Just send us an email and we will send you the missing parts.

Ein einfaches und schönes SMD-Lötset
Dies ist ein sehr einfacher Bausatz für das SMD-Löten (Oberflächenlöten) von Bauteilen. Ich konnte ihn ziemlich schnell zusammenbauen, da die Pads sehr groß sind und das obwohl ich mit SMD-Löten nicht sehr vertraut bin. Das fertige Projekt sieht auch sehr schön aus :-)

Target Group
The soldering iron is the perfect tool ranging between consumer and professional use. 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.

Axolotl Fan Club Badge - A badge for absolute Axolotl fans!
€6.99*
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.

The module operates in the 850MHz ~ 930MHz frequency band, including the widely used 868MHz and 915MHz frequencies.This module comes with a breakout board and is pin compatible with OpenDTU's NRF modules. Es ist natürlich auch die passende Antenne dabei.
Achtung: Dies ist nur das Funkmodul und für die Bastler gedacht. The radio module breakout board is not enough to build an OpenDTU! You need the complete kit or additional components.Pre-soldered CMT module (optional)We have heard your feedback and understood that SMD soldering is probably not for everyone. Therefore, we have decided to offer the module pre-soldered. Only the CMT module (the silver chip) is soldered on. The pin header and antenna module are much easier to solder and still need to be soldered by you. We actually solder them by hand, so unfortunately we have to charge a little more to justify the extra effort. We hope for your understanding here.Compatibility This radio module is fully compatible with openDTU and ahoyDTU. Unfortunately, we cannot provide support for ahoyDTU. You can find help here at ahoydtu.de . The CMT module is needed for communication with the following inverters: Hoymiles HMS-300-1T Hoymiles HMS-350-1T Hoymiles HMS-400-1T Hoymiles HMS-450-1T Hoymiles HMS-500-1T Hoymiles HMS-600-1T Hoymiles HMS-700-2T Hoymiles HMS-800-2T Hoymiles HMS-900-2T Hoymiles HMS-1000-2T Hoymiles HMS-1600-4T Hoymiles HMS-1800-4T Hoymiles HMS-2000-4THoymiles HMT-1600-4THoymiles HMT-1800-4THoymiles HMT-2000-4THoymiles HMT-1800-6THoymiles HMT-2250-6TTechnical dataThe measured range can reach 2.5 km Maximum transmission power of 20dBm, adjustable in several steps via software Supports ISM 868MHz/915MHz band Supports 0.5Kbps~300Kbps transmission rate Supports low power mode, suitable for battery operation Supports GFSK modulation mode, OOK & (G)MSK Supports 2.6V~3.6V power supply Industrial standard design, up to -40 ~ 85 °C operating temperature IPEX and punch hole optional, good for secondary development and integrationsScope of deliveryCMT2300A SMD moduleAntenna socketAntennaBreakout board2x4 pin header

Katie the Cat - A simple cat soldering kit with special eyes!
€6.99*
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. There you will be guided step by step through the assembly and there are many tips and tricks on how to solder correctly.

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. The three slide switches at the potentiometers activate or deactivate the respective colour.PotentiometerThere are also various adjustable resistors on the circuit board. These change the circuit and provide different bright colours. This way, all the rainbow colours come together.

Rainbow Rocket - A soldering kit out of this world
€6.99*
Launch your own rocket! With the MINT-Labs rocket soldering kit you can make a beautiful glowing necklace. Once soldered, the porthole and the exhaust jet, the tail of the rocket will glow 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. Well, we left one hole to hang the rocket on a keychain or somewhere else. This way, the rocket 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.A video of the rainbow colours can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8JFJ-eYq9o Of course, it looks much better in real life :). The animation here in the pictures 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? This is rocket-scienece! 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 rocket 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 or hull of the rocket. 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.

Heart THT - A special heart with a very special chip
From
€4.99*
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.

Rainbow Unicorn - Simple kit for a fantastic badge
€6.99*
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 way, the unicorn 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.A video of the rainbow colours can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8JFJ-eYq9oTarget 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? Who isn't a unicorn fan, please? :) It's best to order one or two of these soldering kits, because as you can imagine, the unicorn soldering kit is a popular gift for friends, partners or children.The components in the unicorn 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 the unicorn. 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 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. The battery lasts for 4-8 hours of continuous operation. So you should switch off your unicorn 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 unicorn glow, you need to get one CR2032 battery per unicorn 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.
