Making a circuit
!!Assignment
Form duo's Collect all the parts of the BOM (get a helping hand) Download the NE555 datasheet, read it. Choose a schematic Choose a desired method to make the circuit and make it (work)! Read the How to Solder and maybe practice first. Watch the polarity of components! Prevent short circuits, 'solder bridges', good luck!
DIY project
Within the practice Digital Craft I'll be focussing on making a DIY tattoo gun, as this also connects with my ongoing project titled Vessel:pain=pleasure. This project kickstarted about six months ago, the first time I got a hold on a needle and some ink, since then I've been hand poking myself and others. Currently I'm looking for other ways in which I can apply DIY tattoos (in a safe and hygienic way).
Equipment;
- RC motor 12 or 18 volts
- pencase
- spoon
- electrical tape
- button
- power source
- on / off switch
- rubberbands
