ICStation Electromagnetic Swing Puppy Kit Soldering Project

In order to increase the interest of soldering, ICSTATION has designed a cartoon tree and cartoon dog shaped PCB, so that you can enjoy the soldering process and the finished product. After the it is finished, it looks like a dog swinging on a tree, which is very cute and interesting.

【DESIGN PRINCIPLE】 The electromagnetic swing kit operates on the principles of electromagnetic induction, harnessing the fascinating properties of Hall effect sensors. As the magnetic field fluctuates, it pushes the swing back and forth. This is the best proof of electromagnetic induction in physics.

【RGB LED LIGHTS】The lights on the tree is static, it make it look like an apple tree. The lighting on the baseplate is dynamic, making the whole a vibrant spectacle that enriches the visual experience. In addition, you can adjust the brightness of the light on the baseplate with the knob.

【STEM Education Tools】Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the electromagnetic swing serves as an invaluable tool for STEM education. It offers a hands-on approach to understanding electromagnetic principles, providing students with a tangible demonstration of scientific concepts. Through experimentation and exploration, learners gain practical insights into the world of physics and electronics, fostering curiosity and critical thinking.

【CREATIVE PRESENT】Searching for a present that transcends the ordinary? Look no further than the electromagnetic swing kit. Whether commemorating a birthday or adding flair and vitality to a workspace, it exudes charm and sophistication. Crafted with ingenuity and care, it stands as a testament to creativity and innovation, making it an unforgettable present for any occasion.

Install 2pcs 5.1Kohm Metal Film Resistor at R2,R3 on PCB HE010-C.

Pay attention to the installation direction. There is a white mark on 1N4007 and a white mark on PCB which are used to confirm the installation direction.

Install 1pcs 10uF(106) Monolithic Capacitor at C5

Install 1pcs SK12D07VG3 Toggle Switch at SW1

Install 2pcs TO-92 S8050 Transistor at Q5,Q6

Pay attention to the installation direction. The arc on the PCB corresponds to the arc of the components.

Install 1pcs DC-005 Power Socket at DC1.

Fix 1pcs D19H12MM Iron Core Electromagnetic Coil at L1 by M36mm Screw

Connect Copper Wire From the Middle of Coil to ‘ + ’ Pad.

Another copper wire to another pad.

Connect 3pcs 5cm 24AWG Wire at H1 in Green/Black/Red Order.

Fix 4pcs M312mm Copper Pillar by 4pcs M36mm Screw.

Install 8pcs 1Kohm Metal Film Resistor at R2-R9 on PCB HE010-B.

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:

12.1>.According to the length of the LED lead to distinguish. The longer pin is positive(anode) lead. The shorter pin is negative(cathode) lead.

12.2>.Identify the negative(cathode) of the LED is to look into the plastic case where one can see that the negative(cathode) is much thicker/bigger inside the plastic case than the anode lead.

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

12.4>.Test by 3V battery or multimeter.The pin is positive(anode) lead which has connect to the positive of 3V if LED can light up after connect 3V power supply.(LED should not be powered directly from the 3V for a short time:less then 0.5second)

12.5>.It is positive(anode) where the white mark “+” pointing to on PCB.

Install 8pcs 3mm Red LED at LED9-LED16 on PCB HE010-

The Longer pin is positive pole connect to ‘ + ’ pad.

Install 8pcs 5mm RGB LED at LED1-LED8 on PCB HE010-A

The Longer pin is positive pole connect to ‘ + ’ pad.

Install 1pcs B102K RV0931 Potentiometer at R1 on PCB Another Side.

Bend AH3144E Hall Sensor’s Pin About 1.5cm.

Install AH3144E Hall Sensor at U1

Note: The side with silk screen(small area) facing downwards. The direction must not be misplaced

Fix 4pcs M320mm Copper Pillar by 4pcs M36mm Screw.

Connect 5cm 24AWG Wire From H1 at PCB HE010-C to H2 at PCB HE010-A

Note: The wire sequence must follow the diagram.

Fix PCB HE010-C on PCB HE010-A by 4pcs M3*6mm Screw.

AH3144E Hall Sensor Must Be Placed Above the Metal Axis of the Coil

Melt As Much Tin As Possible on 4 Pads on PCB HE010-A.

Insert PCB HE010-B Into HE010-A With the Two Silk Screen ‘ a ’ in the Same Side Which Are Used to Determine Installation Direction.

Fix 1pcs D12H4I4mm Circular Magnet on PCB HE010-D by M3*6mm Screw.

Note: Insert the screw from the magnet groove side. Otherwise, it will not work properly.

Fix White PCB HE010-E on PCB HE010-D.

Straighten and Cut 2pcs About 8cm Metal Wire From D0.7*200mm Metal Wire.

Align HE010-E’s Horizontal Position

Bending Metal Wire Backwards Based on the Determined Points.

Pass the Metal Wire Through the Installation Hole on PCB HE010-B.

Done!

Watch a cute puppy swing on a tree, powered by the fascinating principles of electromagnetic induction and Hall effect sensors. Perfect for those who enjoy both soldering and creative projects.
