THE PCBs
Our PCBs use an industry standard FR4 quality board, manufactured PCB mounting
holes
using a lead free finish. We try to make the PCBs easy to assemble by
Component
providing component identification and ensuring that the identification
components are well spread out.

On the underside of the board the pads are large for ease of soldering Large pads
and again where possible well spaced from adjacent pads. A solder A good sized gap
resist layer is present to ensure that the solder only goes on the pads, between pads
thus preventing unintentional solder shorts between tracks. Solder resist on

The kit is based on the light activated board, but this kit
is also supplied with a colour changing LED, battery clip
& battery cage.
The board has space for an LED with current limit resistor
(both available separately) which will light when the output
turns on. The Darlington pair transistor configuration
allows an output current of up to ½ an amp to be
controlled.

Easy Build Project Kits
This easy build bike light kit has just ten parts, making
it a good introduction to electronics. The kit uses two
ultra bright red LEDs, which flash rapidly, providing a
highly visible light. This makes it ideal for use as a rear
bike light. Alternatively it can be used as a night safety
product or flashing eyes. Some examples of student
projects are shown below.

With this steady hand game the connection from the loop
to the board is made by the body of the person using the
game, hence why it is called a wireless steady hand
game. If the loop touches the wire track then a buzzer
sounds for about a second (no matter how brief the
touch). The circuit uses a hex buffer IC to detect the
change in resistance when contact it made and the same
buffer IC with an RC network keeps the buzzer on for the
given time.
The solid cable is supplied on a reel with the
remaining parts being individually bagged.

These boards have been designed to complement each other. The larger development board (once built) can
be used as a starting point for a project by attaching inputs and outputs to the board via the terminal blocks.
The PIC software can then be developed and the complete solution tested without using a soldering iron.
Once students are happy with their design they can transfer the design to the project board, soldering their
chosen peripherals into the board. The development board can be reused on future projects. You can
connect any device to the outputs of the board including LEDs, sounders, motors etc. The teaching notes for
this project include a number of possible projects including: a decision maker, traffic light, timer, quiz
buzzer, alarm and a timed fan. Both boards are supplied in kit form.

LEDs and only consume 2mA, leaving plenty of current for the peripheral.

The super capacitor buggy is a fun but serious STEM
learning resource. It involves a short activity in which
students investigate and make design decisions, which
affect the distance travelled by a model buggy.
The buggy is designed for bench top use and can travel
1m - 10m on a full charge. The range depends on the
efficiency decisions and actions students make. Charging
takes one minute using a USB lead connected to a PC.

ELECTRO-FASHION FLASHER
CONTROLLER, LEDS & THREAD
This unit offers a simple way of adding 'flashing' white LEDs to a textiles project. The unit is
programmed with a number of flashing patterns that are selected by a push button on the
main PCB. Pressing this button cycles through the following patterns: all LEDs constantly
on, slow flash (all on, all off), fast flash (each in turn), and turned off. The device features
auto off, which turns the unit off after 30 minutes to preserve battery life. Depending upon
flash pattern the battery lasts for approximately two days of constant use.
This kit is supplied ‘pre-built’ so requires no soldering. Each kit comprises three small
PCB’s. The largest of the three PCB’s holds an LED plus the control electronics, battery
and a push button. On both of the remaining PCB’s there is an LED, which are connected
to the main board with conductive thread.
The design means that it is possible to cut a small hole in the front of the product
for the light sensor to detect the light level, whilst also being able to get to the
back of the board to change the battery and turn the board off. When turned off
any connected LEDs will be off. When turned on the connected LEDs will be off in
day light but come on in the dark.

Textiles & Craft Electro-Fashion
The PCBs are double sided making the thread connection very reliable. They are
supplied on a small panel and the LEDs can easily be removed by snapping them out.
To help people new to Electro-Fashion get started we have worked with Julie Boyd to develop some free
online resources. These give detailed step by step explanations of how to make a product.
There are guides on adding a LED to a hat (both a standard LED and a slim line LED), making a zippi doll
with light up eyes & adding three LEDs to a bag. We are always working on more resources so it’s worth
keeping an eye on the website.

The gems and studs have a ‘hot melt’ backing that is activated
when heated using the ‘Gem Master’ tool. The adhesive
backing allows the gems to be attached to many types of
textiles, plastics, wooden materials, etc. They are available in a
wide range of colours and sizes (see next page for details).
Gems are made from a glass like material where as the studs are made from metal and are shaped to look like
gems. Studs offer a lot of sparkle at a lower cost than a gem.
