Build: LED Clock Kit

led clock build
I needed a clock for a top secret project (coming soon) so I decided to put together the LED Clock Kit from the Maker Shed. The LED clock is put together by twisting wires together and doesnโ€™t require any soldering, which makes it an easy beginner electronics project. Since the box has a picture of a father and son making it on the cover, I decided to make my dad put it together with me over Thanksgiving.

The instructions involve pushing LEDs into the pre-cut holes and then twisting the LED leads together with leads from the power source. The clock took about two and a half hours to put together including a break to eat Thanksgiving leftovers. My dad was hesitant at first, but it ended up being a perfect father/daughter holiday activity. The best part was plugging in the clock for the first time and having it work perfectly.
