Whadda - Welding & Programming Kit - reindeer

Ho ho ho! Looking for a cool DIY project for Christmas? Assemble and program this Poly XL deer, illuminated by colour-changing LEDs! Ideal for beginners and experienced makers alike!


This educational and creative kit combines soldering and programming skills, but in XL format. Start by soldering a few simple components onto the elegantly designed PCB. These components include decorative RGB LEDs that give off a warm, dimmed light. After soldering, the Arduino Nano Every allows you to program the LED colours and lighting effects. The Arduino comes pre-programmed with basic lighting effects. The kit is therefore ready to use, you just need to plug the supplied adapter into a power outlet. Of course, you can also write your own code based on the example code available.

The sample code and detailed instructions are available on the product page under the 'manual and downloads' tab.

Programmable add-ons
The circuit board is specially designed for the purpose of adding various add-ons. You can, for example, connect an OLED display to show messages or program the Arduino board to count down the days until Christmas! Or add a Tuya IoT sensor to control the project from your smartphone. You can even connect a sound sensor, a motion detector or a light sensor.
