“I pre-ordered the soldering kit as I enjoy constructing things. The kit, when it arrived appeared to be well manufactured. I found the assembly instructions easy to follow and soon had the components soldered and the tree assembled. I copied and pasted the program supplied and soon had the tree sparkling in all it's glory. My 10 year old grandson was mildly impressed, but it takes a lot to really impress him, then he asked if it had any more programs ! It's something I'll have to work on.”

“Never tried programming anything with a pi always used other stuff so bought this so I can look at doing this with my son. We had control of it using scratch and have now written some stuff in python and get can it to do what we want which is nice. Our white LED never lit, we checked the polarity etc and all was OK, voltage on pads but no light. Our kit came with an extra red so we swapped this out and it worked but we liked the idea of the white one and then thought about having different coloured lights in the tree so I ordered some different coloured LEDs (not from here). We have tried these today and the greens and yellows work but it seems my tree is not giving enough power for the whites and blues to light. I think this may have been the issue with the original white as I have since found that whites and blues do require a higher voltage from https://www.petervis.com/electronics/led/led-resistor-calculator.html so expect I will need to swap a few resistors out or stick with three colours. I'm just a bit puzzled now as to how the white star was ever supposed to light as I only get 1.8v here which is not enough to light it but no-one else seems to be having this issue.”

“I had the pre soldered version and it's very nice! I am not a monster in programming so I used the sample code for the random flashing lights and it's beautiful.”
