The parts have been acquired from a closing Radio Shack in Pasadena. Total cost for the electronics components was around $3.75. This circuit design and build was done by twoducky.
Here is the schematic layout. We are keeping it simple for the sake of prototyping:
More details on what we did:
3.6/6 = 0.6
60% Ratio
3.6 V = 40 ma R
Our 3 Resistors:
R1 = 40Ω
R2 = 54Ω
R3 = 36Ω
The finished prototype design is nice! Switch the switch and the light turns on. Switch it back and it turns off.
Next steps will be making a 3D printing a case for the electronics. But first, we must plan and design such case. It will be a square case with a lip for the board to sit on. There will be a protective area that will surround the LEDS and a place to mount the switch. Oh, and the top will slide off so that the batteries can be changed. Otherwise we have forever batteries.
