After you finish the upper parts, now you need to make the same circuits on the bottom parts. And test it! (i use old 9v battery for test this, so the led not bright).

Add 15 ohm resistor to the positive input and connect all input cables to the Male usb and test it like image 4 and 5

  • Take the empty can and make a hole on the bottom using can opener.
  • Cut ± 4cm like image 2
  • For make the lid, i use a cardboard like image 3
  • Next, glue the breadboard to the cardboard
  • Next, i'm add a small switch to make easier to turn it on, and connect the usb like image 5
  • After that, paste the can to the cardboard and glue it.
  • FINISH!!
