VIDEO OPERATION

Electronic hourglass in kit consisting of 57 blue light LEDs. It scans the passage of time, simulating the flow of sand in a traditional hourglass, with the lighting of one LED at a time. All managed by a microcontroller. A button allows, with each press, to increase or decrease the speed. Power supply: 5 VDC, dimensions (mm): 84x40x10.

Assembly and Use

In order to assemble the kit, it is advisable to proceed with the components having the least thickness, therefore proceed by assembling the plinth paying attention to the polarity. Then proceed with the slide switch, the button and then the LEDs. As for the LEDs, polarity is also very important in this case, so make sure it is correct, as if it is reversed, during operation, some LEDs may not light up correctly.

•        L1 ÷ L57: 3 mm blue LED
•        U1: 8 + 8 socket with STC15W201S on board
•        S1: Slide diverter
•        S2: Microswitch
•        DC1: Plug power supply
•        ISP: 4-way male strip

When assembly is complete, supply power (5Vdc) to the product via the DC1 connector (central positive), or by soldering two wires to the two pads located between the DC1 connector and the S1 diverter (keeping the DC1 connector on the right, the pad on the left is the positive, while the one on the right is negative). If the device does not switch on, check that you have placed the slide switch S1 in the ON position. Button S2 can be used to vary the passage of time.

Assembly and Use

In order to assemble the kit, it is advisable to proceed from the components with the least thickness, therefore proceed by mounting the base, paying attention to the polarity. Then proceed with the slide switch, the button and then the LEDs. As for the LEDs, polarity is also very important in this case, so make sure it is correct, as if it were reversed during operation, some LEDs may not light up correctly.

After assembly, supply power (5Vdc) to the product via the DC1 connector (central positive), or by welding two wires to the two pads located between the DC1 connector and the S1 switch (keeping the DC1 connector on the right, the pad on the left is the positive, while the one on the right is negative). If the device does not turn on, check that the slide switch S1 is in the ON position. The S2 button can be used to vary the passage of time.
