This kit is supplied ‘pre-built’ so requires no soldering. It is sold in packs of five kits in a panel with around ten metres of the conductive thread. Each kit comprises three small PCB’s that can easily be cut out of the panel and are then ready for use. The largest of the three PCB’s is used to hold the control electronics, battery and a push button. On both of the remaining PCB’s there is an LED. When connected together using the conductive thread the LEDs flash when the button is pressed. Students can decide what textiles project they would like to put the electronics in to, for example the LEDs could be used as eyes in a teddy bear.

Pressing the button cycles through the following patterns: all LEDs constantly on, slow flash all on all off, fast flash each in turn and turned off. The device also features an auto off function that turns the unit off after 30 minutes to preserve battery life. The battery is included and depending upon flash pattern lasts for approximately two days of constant use.
