This kit walks you through building a 360-degree compass display-place eight reed switches around a circle, attach a magnet to your wind vane, and the Arduino lights up exactly the LED that matches the wind's direction. No weatherproofing needed, just pure electronics exploration that connects your code to the physical world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll assemble a miniature compass rose on a breadboard, then write an Arduino sketch that constantly checks which reed switch the magnet has closed. The moment the wind shifts, the corresponding LED glows-North, South, East, West, and the points in between. It's a real-time wind direction readout you can test with a fan or a gentle breath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Learn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHow reed switches work as magnetically triggered digital inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReading multiple digital pins from an Arduino Uno in a loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMapping inputs to LED outputs using conditional logic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigning a physical layout that mimics a geographic compass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eComponent\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArduino Uno R3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReed Switch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5mm LED Assorted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e220?
