Step 8Light 'em up!
Now here's the really fun part. Making the LED circuits.
This should be treated as a separate project as it did take quite a bit of work, and should only be taken on by someone who has soldering experience.
The battery pack is a simple chaser circuit, and the Cyclotron is just 4 blinking LED's daisy chained together each with a slighly higher capacity capacitor.
To make life easier I went ahead and just purchased ready made kits at [ AllElectronics.com]AllElectronics.com. Just dig through their LED and Kit sections and you'll find tons of fun stuff to play with.
We then put them into the pack and were ready to move onto most expensive part of the pack...

Which LED kit did you buy? And do you have a video of the lights, battery pack & cyclotron, so we see how yours ended up?

What is the can of air for? Did you know that cooling the solder joint is a bad idea? You could be getting bad joints.
