Use the diagram above to check your work.įinally, if the LEDs light up properly, tape the LEDs inside the rocket’s bottom.
Click Start in PiperCode to make sure your circuit still works with the code. Plug the three positive (long) pins on the LEDs into the color wires and plug the three negative (short) pins on the LEDs into the ground wires. Remove the LEDs from the breadboard and replace with the 6 wires as seen in the diagram below. Grab six more wires: 3 black wires, 1 red wire, 1 yellow wire, and 1 blue wire. Do all three LEDs light up? If yes, next extend the wires in order to tape the LEDs inside the rocket. In this example code, we’ve used pin 1, 2, and 3.

If you cannot remember how to make an LED light up, look at the Blink tutorial in PiperCode.
Ĭ reate a simple PiperCode project to turn the three LEDs “on”. We suggest using black ground Pin #9, #14, and #20. Next connect the black wires to any black ground pins in the Raspberry Pi Pin Diagram. Place any LED color wire into Pin #1, #2, and #3 which color goes in what pin does not matter. Each of the three positive (long) pins on the LEDs will use a color wire (blue, red, and yellow), and the three negative (short) pins of the LEDs will be wired with the black wires.Ĭonnect the six wires to the Raspberry Pi. Start by placing three LEDs and six wires into the breadboard as seen in the diagram. Part One is done! ! Don’t forget to get creative and decorate your rocket.Ĭollect the electrical components you’ll need for adding lights to your rocket, you’ll need: Now, tape or glue the nose to the rocket. Join the edge of the remaining paper to form your rocket’s nose. With your scissors, cut a quarter of the circle out. You’re almost there! On a piece of paper, use the roll of tape to trace the outline of a circle. Join the crescent shapes together to form your rocket’s fins.Ĭut four slits on the paper towel roll equal distance apart and insert your fins into the slits. On the second crescent, cut from the top edge to meet the middle point. With the first crescent, cut from the bottom edge up to meet the middle point. Use your pencil to mark the middle point on the crescent shapes. This should leave you with two crescent shapes. This will serve as a guideline.Īlign the top edge of the tape with the midpoint and use a pencil to trace the top edge.Ĭut out the circles and cut out the area under the line you drew in step 6. In the middle of your circles, use your pencil to mark the midpoint. Repeat this step and draw another circle next to your first one. Use a pencil to trace the inner circle of the tape. Grab a piece of cardboard and the large roll of tape. Stick the paper onto your paper towel roll. Be sure to measure the sheet of paper you are using beforehand and check if it’s the right height and width to wrap around your paper towel roll. A large roll of tape or a CD for measurementĪpply glue to one side of a sheet of paper.

Paper (Feel free to use decorative paper!).In the first installment of our #OutOfThisWorld projects, reach for the stars with your very own rocket! With a few household items and your Piper Computer Kit, build a spectacular spaceship fit for the bravest of astronauts. Did you know? It’s been more than 50 years since Apollo 11 landed on the moon!
