Make Conductive Glue and Glue a Circuit

Step 5Glue a Complete Circuit

Glue a Complete Circuit
Here you can see a circuit that was glued onto a clear plastic cover. This simple working circuit uses a Picaxe microcontroller to flash 4 lights in sequence. It is used only to illustrate the concept, obviously you can choose your own integrated circuits and make the circuit of your choice. Be very careful when gluing onto the IC pins as the black glue can be very hard to see if it gets on the black IC and can end up shorting the pins.

In this circuit I used conductive thread to provide power from the batteries. Conductive thread is flexible and glues quite well, but you could also used tinned wire. Magnets in front and back, hold the conductive thread to the two batteries and act as a battery holder.
