Make: Robot Transistor Flashlight Kit - Learn to Solder

Light it Up!

Build a bright transistor flashlight that turns on when you press the "M" on the robots chest, powered by our Maker Faire Powerbase Medallion (included).

Complete the circuit

Use your finger tip to make Makey's eyes light up with powerful white LEDs. Lick your finger to make it brighter, why is that? Resistance. 

What's a transistor?

A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electrical signals and power. It is one of the basic building blocks of modern electronics. The new iPhone 15 has 19 billion transistors!
