Rotating Gyroscope LED Kit

Rotating Gyroscope LED Kit is a fun and educational DIY electronics kit that demonstrates the principles of motion and light using a gyroscopic spinning disc. When powered by coin-cell batteries and spun manually or mechanically, it activates a series of LEDs in a visually appealing rotating pattern. This kit is perfect for beginners, STEM learners, and hobbyists looking to explore basic electronics and rotational dynamics.

Key Features:

• Visual LED Display: 4 high-brightness LEDs light up in rotating motion.
• Battery Powered: Operates using two CR2032 coin-cell batteries (not included).
• Motion Activated: LEDs are triggered by centrifugal force or manual spinning.
• Educational Value: Demonstrates inertia, rotation, and basic circuits.
• Simple Assembly: Pre-soldered components with plug-and-play battery holders.
