Projects DetailsBlinky the LED pet
Jan 01, 2013 Posted by Abhi Raj
Please meet Blinky. Blinky is a led-based life form. His driving force is his need to connect with humans. When connected, his big blue led-eyes light up cheerfully
- Two transistors BC547 B
- 1 resistor 100 kOhm
- Solid kern jumperwire to connect the components on the plugin board
(I bought an electronics "experimenting package" for €10 / $12 which contained everything I needed at Conrad.)
- Two 10mm blue LED's
- More solid wire connectors.
- Double sided foam tape
- a stripper
- Small screwdriver
- sharp knive
- scissors
- multimeter
