What's in the box?
- PCB;
- Screwdriver;
- Coin battery;
- Acrylic casings;
- LEDs;
- Plastic bolts;
- Plastic standoffs.
To get two smaller casings from the kit,
you’ll need to break one large acrylic piece.
But please, be super
careful when doing
this to make sure you
don’t damage the
parts you need.
After breaking it, you’ll end up with two separate pieces
of acrylic casings. If you find there’s any acrylic in the
holes of the casings, just gently push it out.
Remove the protective foil from both sides of the casings now.
Your casings should be all nice and transparent now.
Now, let’s dive into the
exciting assembly part!
Start by grabbing the casing that matches the one in the
photo below and gently place it onto the PCB.
Now, take the battery and check that the plus sign is on the side facing you.
To make sure everything
stays in place, we’ll need
to secure these casings
with bolts and standoffs.
Here’s how you do it: put the
bolts in from the front and add
the standoffs onto the back.
Fasten the standoffs with your
fingers – no need for fancy tools!
Here’s a handy tip:
If you flip Resistron
around, you’ll spot tiny
+ and - signs next to
each connector. These
little symbols tell you
about the polarity.
When it comes to adding LEDs, it’s a piece of cake! Simply choose
whichever LEDs you’d like to use and put them in Resistron’s eyes.
But remember, pay close attention to the polarity of the LEDs as you
connect them. Look for the rounded part (that’s the plus side) and
the cut-off part (that’s the minus side) marked on the LED.
Want to change up the speed of the LED show? No problem!
Just head to Resistron’s back, where you’ll find a
potentiometer. Use a screwdriver to gently twist it until
you find the perfect speed to match your mood.
We hope you enjoyed putting Resistron together and
learned something new along the way.
