Christmas Tree Solder Kit (555 Timer) [Discontinued]

The perfect Raspberry Pi stocking filler this Christmas! The Christmas Tree solder kit is designed for any maker or hacker and is an ideal kit for people new to Raspberry Pi or even experienced users who want to practice the art of soldering!

The Christmas Tree Solder kit is a do-it-yourself solder kit that comes completely unassembled.

Just follow our easy soldering guide on putting it all together, plug it into your Raspberry Pi and your Christmas Tree will light up the room! The kit includes 11 LEDs and uses a CD4017BE counter & 555 timer chip to light and rotate the LED's through a pre-defined pattern, no programming required!

Please note: this is not a programmable kit, lights are controlled by a 555 timer. If you'd like to control the LEDs with your Raspberry Pi and Python, grab this one instead. You can also simply connect 5V and GND via jumper wires from any other 5V development board or power supply - no Pi required!
