kit build - chase lights using shift registers

I wanted to test out the board holder soldering aid thingie that I got in a recent mailbag, so what better way than to do a kit build. And if I'm going to do a kit build, why not one with lots of blinking LEDs? . Here's an e-bay search listing for this kit: https://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=DIY-Kits-NE555-74HC595-16-Channel-Light-Water-Flowing-Lights&_sop=15 Or, if you prefer an affiliate link to the same listing: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/706-53473-19255-0/1?ff3=4&toolid=11800&pub=5575440997&campid=5338398311&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.ca%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3DDIY-Kits-NE555-74HC595-16-Channel-Light-Water-Flowing-Lights%26_sop%3D15 ----- My tip jar: https://www.patreon.com/pileofstuff ----- This isn't the only way to do it. It's probably not the best way to do it. But it's how I do it.
