It is St Patrick's Day today, so I'm celebrating it in my own rebellious way. By working a bit on projects.

To attach an LED to your clothes you need to think about how you're going to do the wiring. If it's the old-fashioned wires and heat-shrink, you're set. If you're thinking conductive thread, then your LEDs will need something the thread can attach to.

I've been learning to solder. Not out of thin air, I had learning aids.

Three kits within... )

And added bonus? The solder that came with the first kit was enough to do all of them, and even have a tiny bit left over. So, now that all my circuits work successfully I guess I can claim to be able to solder. Not the prettiest work you've ever seen, but certainly functional. Onwards, and upwards.
