Introducing Our Launchpad Line!
We’re so excited about our upcoming line of learner-friendly Launchpad Batteries and Launchpad LEDs, that we thought we’d share a sneak peek!
Designed with safety, durability, and reusability in mind, our NEW Launchpad components make paper circuits easier to learn, understand, and prototype than ever before!
Launchpad Battery
Upon first glance, you’ll notice that our new battery design looks very different, almost as if it has two arms raised up in a celebratory cheer! Yay!
Besides helping make our Launchpad Battery safer and harder to swallow, these wing-like metal tabs enable easier gripping, sketching, and prototyping!
Clear, easy-to-trace polarity + and – markings cut-out from each wing will save you time and remove guesswork on where to stick your conductive tape.
Because they are easier to see, tape onto, and sketch around, Launchpad Batteries are a more learner-friendly option than traditional button cell batteries.
Launchpad LEDs
Like the Launchpad Battery, our new Launchpad LEDs also come with tabs that are easy to grip, sketch, and prototype with!
Unlike our Circuit Sticker LEDs, which are designed to be used just like stickers, Launchpad LEDs are designed to be bigger, more durable, and reusable for learning—like training wheels for LEDs!
Since they aren’t as permanent as stickers, Launchpad LEDs are perfect for tinkering, building temporary artworks or conducting experiments.
Since they are easy to remove, reuse, and store, they are ideal for learners in classroom, craft room, and home school settings!
Like the tabs on the Launchpad Battery, the + and – polarity markings are large and easy to see, or trace with a pencil as a stencil. Made of sturdy metal, the tabs on our Launchpad LEDs can be connected to a Launchpad Battery or paper circuit with conductive tapes, binder clips, and even alligator clips!
This means that our Launchpad LEDs are especially ideal for building (and rebuilding!) models as well as clipping to a variety of components and microcontrollers, such as the Love to Code Chibi Chip!
Stay Tuned!
The Launchpad Batteries and Launchpad LEDs will be in stock and ready to purchase later this summer!
