Product information "Weevil Eye soldering kit - lightning bug with sensor"
Have you ever seen a weevil? We would like to celebrate this great beetle with this very simple soldering kit. The kit is a very easy kit with push-through parts, which is explicitly aimed at beginners. It has only a few parts, so even small children can easily assemble it. Once assembled, the red LED “eyes” light up brighter or dimmer depending on how much light falls on the photo sensor.
The cool thing about this kit is. The beetle is available in many different colors. You get a colorful mix from us and we always try to mix things up if you order more than one. So you can solder a whole army of beetles :).
Parts
This is a very lightweight kit with push-fit components. Simple components are used that can withstand a lot of heat and are relatively quick and easy to solder.
