80 LED Star Flowing Light DIY Electronic Kit | Microcontroller
80 LED Circular Pentagonal Star Flowing Light DIY Electronic Kit
Build your own mesmerizing dynamic LED display with this hands-on DIY electronic kit! Featuring 80 LEDs arranged in a stunning circular five-pointed star pattern, this kit is the perfect project for electronics enthusiasts, students, and hobbyists looking to sharpen their soldering and circuit assembly skills. Made in Mainland China.
⚠️ Please Note: This kit is designed for individuals with prior experience in circuit assembly and soldering. We guarantee the components are in good condition upon delivery, but successful assembly depends on the builder's skill level. Please read all instructions carefully before starting. Circuit board color (black or green) is sent at random — if you have a preference, please order with that in mind.
How It Works
Once powered on, the 80 LEDs light up in sequence to form a glowing circular five-pointed star. The display then cycles through a brilliant full-brightness flash before cycling through multiple animated patterns including:
- Inner edge-less star shape
- Outer five-pointed star
- Regular five-pointed star
- Circle pattern
- Circular flowing five-pointed star
Press the S2 button to adjust the animation flow speed to your liking!
