ICStation Cake Tower Soldering Project

About this item

【 Cake Tower Soldering Kit 】Inspired by the concept of the cupcake tower, we've embarked on an exciting new soldering project: the Cake Tower soldering project. This innovative endeavor features a square circuit board as the base, supporting six layers of circular hollow circuit boards that serve as the cake stands. LED lights are ingeniously arranged to simulate cupcakes, creating a visually striking and novel design that instantly captures attention.

【 Happy Birthday Music 】Pressing the button adjacent to the buzzer triggers the buzzer to play the "Happy Birthday" song, adding a delightful touch to the Cake Tower soldering project. This feature makes it an ideal birthday gift for your daughter, son, partner, friends, and more. Additionally, it can serve as a charming centerpiece on the table, enhancing the birthday celebration ambiance and creating lasting memories with loved ones.

【10 Lighting Effects】Upon being powered on, the LED lights on the cake tower will initiate flashing. We have incorporated 10 distinct flashing modes, along with knobs for adjusting the flashing speed. With 5 vibrant colors of light and various flashing modes, this feature enhances the ambiance of your party, offering a unique and immersive experience.

【2 Power Supply Modes】For convenience, a USB power cord is included, allowing you to simply plug it in and turn on the switch to illuminate the cake tower. Additionally, the cake tower comes equipped with a battery box at the bottom, accommodating 3 AA batteries (not included), providing portability and versatility. Whether powered by USB or batteries, you can easily take it anywhere you go.

【Nice Gift】If you're seeking to create a truly personalized gift for a friend or family member, the cake tower soldering project is an ideal choice, particularly as a birthday present. Its unique combination of creativity and functionality makes it a perfect gift option.

Install 16pcs 10ohm Metal Film Resistor at R1-R6,R10-R15,R23-R26.

Install 16pcs 10ohm Metal Film Resistor At R1-R6,R10-R15,R23-R26.

Install 9pcs 1Kohm Metal Film Resistor at R20-R22,R27-R28,R31-R34.

Install 8pcs 2Kohm Metal Film Resistor at R7-R9,R17-R19,R29-R30.

Install 1pcs DIP-16 IC Socket at U1

There is a gap mark on one end of the IC Socket and there is a gap mark on PCB silk screen where the IC Socket can place on.

These two marks are corresponding to each other and are used to specify installation direction of the IC Socket.

Identify the Positive(anode) and Negative(cathode) Lead of LED

The leads of the LED must be installed correctly, otherwise the LED cannot be turned on.Here are four methods as following:

1.According to the length of the LED lead to disti nguish. The Ion ger pin is positive(a no de) lead. The shorter pin is n egative(cathode) lead.

2.dentify the negative(cathode) of the LED is to look into the plastic case where one can see that the n egative(cathode) is much thicker/bigger in side the plastic case than the anode lead.

3. dentify by edge of plastic case.The negative(cathode) lead of the LED should be the pin nearest the flat on the plastic case.

4.Test by 3V battery or multimeter.The pin is positive(a no de) lead which has connect to positive of 3V if LED can light up after connect 3V power supply. (LED can not be powered directly from 3V for a short timeless then 0.5second)

Note:lf the flat on package disagrees with other indicators (short lead,large cathode lead end), then other indicators take priority.

For example: if the flat disagrees with the lead length.use the lead length as the cathode indicator.
