STEADY HAND GAME PROJECT KIT
Easy Build Kits

(WITH LATCH)
The board has a buzzer that sounds momentarily when

the loop makes contact with the wire. It also has an LED,
which latches on when the buzzer sounds via the use of a
thyristor. It then remains on so that even the briefest
contact of the loop with the wire can be indicated. A push
button is used to reset the LED.
The cables are supplied on reels with the

remaining parts being individually bagged.

WIRELESS STEADY HAND GAME
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.
Requires a PP3 battery which is available separately.

RECORD PLAYBACK MODULE

This module allows a short (10 second) message to be
recorded and played back at the push of a button. There is
one button to play the message and another to re-record the
message which can be done over and over again.
The board includes a status LED which indicates that

recording is in progress or that playback has completed.
Both the speaker and microphone are PCB mounted so the
only flying leads are for the battery holder which takes 2 AA
batteries.
Because the module shuts down when it is not in use the

batteries will last a very long time. An interface connector is
available for more advanced users that wish to access the
control signals.

STEM BUGGY
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.
Includes approximately 2m of conductive thread. Includes a CR2032 battery.

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.

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.

CHOOSING A PSU FOR YOUR LED STRIPS

LED strips are very easy to use, but you need to make sure the power supply has sufficient capacity for
the length of LED strips being used.
As all the colours of LED strips take about 400 mA per meter, the longer the length of strip the bigger
Components
the power supply has to be. To save you doing the maths below is a table showing the maximum length
for each of the power supplies. We have even added a new wall mount power supply which is good for
fixed installations of a couple of reels of LEDs.
