Overview
Product Description
When it comes to following directions, some really do struggle, whether it’s because they simply can’t be bothered to read signage or are genuinely clueless. The Yellow Arrow can help with these situations as it lets you build a large yellow arrow that lights up very well in both day and night, making directions completely obvious.
This kit can be powered with a PP3 9V battery, but can also be connected to other MitchElectronics circuits (along with an appropriate driver), for creating interesting effects (such as a flashing arrow if used with the 555 Astable and power amplifier).

Applications
- The Yellow Arrow is ideal for applications that need to signal clear directions, such as controlling pedestrian traffic. At the same time, The Yellow Arrow can also be used as an indicator for push bikes and scooters but cannot be used in road-safety applications or applications where certifications are required (such as cars). Overall, The Yellow Arrow is an excellent project for those needing an arrow display that is controlled by an external power source.
- Education and training – Useful for teaching LED arrays, current-limiting resistors and visual indicators, while providing practical experience with through-hole soldering, component identification and PCB assembly.
- Project integration – Suitable for projects such as Directional Display, Model and Prop Indicator, Microcontroller-Controlled Arrow, and other designs where the following function is useful: Large illuminated yellow arrow display for directional indicators, props and interactive projects
