Flashlight-I CAN SOLDER KIT 2019 GOLD AWARD
What is this?
This is a simple circuit to show how to turn on a LED and use it as flashlight , so we can learn to solder and how it works.
It could be used as a keychain.
Check the backside and see how the limit resistor is calculated, it's important to not blown your LED.

Why I made it?
I wanted to make a kit for everyone,easy to assembly and ready to make you shine, it had to be educational and match the S.T.E.A.M ideology.
How was made?
Before to get this "flashlight" shape i did like 3 prototypes until i saw a "touch tag", it is a little "LoRaWAN" device i was using to test other Iot projects, it has the right size and is confortable. I took the dimension as a reference then i added the flashlight details and shapes.
