Good afternoon folks and welcome to another Project day this weeks project is a simple display stand
Why I made this project
I made this stand so I have a way to show off a few different models and other things that I have .
Parts Needed
- 1 white led
- a 22ohms resistor
- a cr3032 battery holder
- 2 pcb stand offs
- a small piece of wood
- a small piece of strip board
Step one
Use a hole saw to drill out circle of wood then drill 2 small holes in the wood and attach the stand off to the wood .
Step two
The next step is to give the wood a piece a coat of primer then paint I used white paint for this but you can use any colour you like
Step three
Now its time to get soldering take the led and place in the middle of or strip board and the place the resistor into the same row as the anode of the led (on most leds the anode is the longer of the two leads )
Step four
now flip the board over and solder the leads into place
Step five
the next step is to make a solder bridge between the anode of the led and the resistor then make a solder track for the cathode of the led
Step six
The sixth step is to cut and strip the wires coming from the battery holder and then tin the ends
Step seven
Next step is to solder the positive( red ) wire of the battery holder to the resistor and the negative (black) wire to the cathode solder track
Step eight
the final step is to hot glue the strip board circuit and the battery holder to the circle of wood we painted
Now that your done it should look something like this
And here it is in action
How I could make this better
there are a few improvements id like to make to this project the first being the power supply i would like to add a mains power supply instead of the battery I'd also like to make a bigger base with dimmer control and a dark sensor so that it can turn its self on and off .
