Electronic Project for Beginners: Fiber Light

These days everyone wants faster internet, but copper wires reached their limit so we are using something better than copper. That’s fiber! In this simple DIY project you will see how light travels through a fiber cable. There are just 4 connections to be soldered in this project making it friendly and perfect for beginners.

Here are the components included in this kit.

Let’s now start building.

We will start with soldering the 2 cables to the LED. Solder the red cable to the longer leg of the LED and the blue cable to the shorter one.

We have to solder the LED to the battery holder. Make sure to solder the red cable to the positive of the battery holder and the blue cable to the negative as I mentioned in the previous step.

And that’s the end of soldering for today.

Let’s construct the frame.

We have to connect those together with pieces of a double-sided tape to create the object in the image below.

Make sure that the hole is on the top. Put a pin in the hole.

Grab the orange tube and put the fiber cables in it from the top side and then insert the LED from the bottom. Push that tube on the pin, be careful to not damage the LED.

And here we go!
