Create your own unique piece of LED Light Art, which displays an eerie, shifting pattern of abstract colored light on a framed, translucent screen. The projected image has a fluid-like quality; it’s like a solid-state lava lamp, and is a great “mood piece” for any room.
Wave you hand over a completed Trippy RGB Waves kit, and watch the trippy light show begin. Even when left alone, they will still slowly cycle through an ever-changing display of colors. It’s a great kit for beginners, since it’s easy to solder, and inexpensive.
The Wee Blinky is a simple LED flasher kit that you can easily build, even with no previous soldering experience. It’s tiny, it blinks, and it’s a great kit to hone your soldering skills since it’s cheap too!
The LED Lightbrick kit includes all the components needed to make your own version of the project that was featured in MAKE, Volume 18. Once assembled, the circuit board is ready to be cast into a finished interactive nightlight. (Casting and mold-making materials not supplied with kit)
Admittedly, the Truth Wrist Band kit will not work on your pets. So if your mutt has been using up all the solder, you might need a different form of interrogation. However, if the culpret is human, this kit will work quite well!
The Transistor Clock from is made using only discrete components–194 transistors, 566 diodes, 400 resistors, 87 capacitors, and absolutely no integrated circuits. It’s available as an open-source kit from KABtronics. [via Hack a Day]
