Description
This unit provides a simple way of adding flashing white LEDs to a textiles project using conductive thread. The unit is programmed with a number of flashing patterns, which are selected by a push-button on the mainboard. Pressing this button cycles through the following patterns: all LEDs constantly on, slow flash all on all off, fast flash each in turn and turned off. The device features auto-off, which turns the unit off after 30 minutes to preserve battery life.
This kit is supplied pre-built so requires no soldering. Each kit comprises three small PCBs. The largest of the three PCBs holds an LED plus the control electronics, battery and a push button. On both of the remaining PCBs there is an LED, these are connected to the mainboard with conductive thread (supplied).
Depending upon flash pattern the battery lasts for approximately two days of constant use.
This kit is also available in a retail version.

Q:
would it be possible to connect this to the light sensor coin cell holder so that it only starts to flash when its darker? would it work from just one cell battery?
Asked by: emily
A:
Hi Emily, Unfortunately you wouldn’t be able to use the light sensing coin cell holder to control the flasher holder. You would need to use the Light level detector board along with a programmable board such as the Igloo. 2754-electro-fashion-light-level-detector, 2751-electro-fashion-sewable-picaxe-control-board

Q:
Electro-Fashion, Flasher Controller, LEDs & Thread. Can I use a mounted battery with pin on this unit ? Instead of the battery cage that it has? Can I change it?
I'm trying to make the unit flat for less drag , thanks, hopefully a new client . Clifton
Asked by: clifton
A:
Hi, I'm not sure what you mean. You could solder positive and negative legs of a battery with legs to the center and side pads of the board if you first removed the coincell holder if that's what you mean.
