6 LED Circle Blinkie Kit

It's a 2.0" by 2.5" double-sided circuit board with a mounting pin on the back side that requires assembly and soldering. It has 6 single or bi-color LEDs that will display various user-selectable patterns. There is an IR emitter and receiver for two way communication to other blinkie boards. This blinkie design was introduced in 2005 at Duckon 14

Some beginners (and some experts) have had trouble soldering the four battery holders and the mounting pin to the board. The circuit boards come with these components already soldered on.

A variant of the design was created for Duckon 16 called the Badge Blinkie. The IR emitter and receiver were removed, and the LEDs were installed on the back side.

The original design was created for Duckon 14. It used the 1st generation single-sided board, and does not include the push button in the basic kit. 2DKits does not sell this version, but has placed the information here for reference. (Ok, it's so we don't lose it!)
