I struggled to get the light to actually light up, and I was getting super frustrated. I began running my fingers along the copper tape to see if maybe there was somewhere along the tape that wasn't connected. While doing this, the light flickered and I knew I had almost figured it out. ]]> 2021-11-08 16:34:18 UTC https://padlet.com/smedwar7/2nqd552zsl5k6kni/wish/1875653031 smedwar7 https://padlet.com/smedwar7/2nqd552zsl5k6kni/wish/1875654928 Here is my starting point with the lighthouse circuit. ]]> 2021-11-08 16:34:54 UTC https://padlet.com/smedwar7/2nqd552zsl5k6kni/wish/1875654928 smedwar7 https://padlet.com/smedwar7/2nqd552zsl5k6kni/wish/1875656124 Here is where I got super frustrated because it wasn’t lighting up]]> 2021-11-08 16:35:16 UTC https://padlet.com/smedwar7/2nqd552zsl5k6kni/wish/1875656124 smedwar7 https://padlet.com/smedwar7/2nqd552zsl5k6kni/wish/1875657101 I finally got it to light up!

I was worried I would accidentally break the LED light wires while trying to bend the wire, but I ended up not breaking it! 

On top of that, one of the hardest parts about this project was actually just getting the thread through the needle. It took me forever!]]> 2021-11-08 16:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/smedwar7/2nqd552zsl5k6kni/wish/1875717109 smedwar7 https://padlet.com/smedwar7/2nqd552zsl5k6kni/wish/1875718295 2021-11-08 16:54:09 UTC https://padlet.com/smedwar7/2nqd552zsl5k6kni/wish/1875718295 smedwar7 https://padlet.com/smedwar7/2nqd552zsl5k6kni/wish/1875808590 I wasn’t sure if I needed more than one piece of thread, so I just used one piece to attach everything ]]> 2021-11-08 17:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/smedwar7/2nqd552zsl5k6kni/wish/1875808590 smedwar7 https://padlet.com/smedwar7/2nqd552zsl5k6kni/wish/1875810206 I attached the battery holder and the battery, but nothing seems to happen. ]]> 2021-11-08 17:23:52 UTC https://padlet.com/smedwar7/2nqd552zsl5k6kni/wish/1875810206 smedwar7 https://padlet.com/smedwar7/2nqd552zsl5k6kni/wish/1875811391 Here’s the final.

I decided to use the back of the card to put the copper tape so it wouldn't be visible. 

I found this project to be pretty simple, as I used the lighthouse card as my example. With the blue paper, the light appears orange, so I probably should have used a white paper to make it more realistic. ]]> 2021-11-22 23:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/smedwar7/2nqd552zsl5k6kni/wish/1907121487
