Christmas Star
Difficulty
Festive
Summary
Sticking with tradition and going for the early days of electronics with this kit; using the traditional 555 Timer IC and a decade counter to make a strobing star pattern, something to put on-top of the christmas tree. Get some more globes and some logic gates if you're really up for it.
