TEACH TOURSELF ELECTRONICS
A kit of components to accompany the Electronics Club
website.
This excellent site takes you through identification and use of the
common components,
leading on to a series of projects with progressive difficulty.
This kit will allow you to experiment with all of the following
projects:
- Component & Continuity tester.
- Flashing LED
- Simple electronic "lock".
- Adjustable timer.
- Light sensitive alarm.
- Christmas decoration.
- Model railway signal.
- Valentine heart.
- Heart-shaped badge.
- Model lighthouse.
- Electronic dice.
- Traffic light.
- Quiz game.
- Dummy alarm
You can find details of the projects at the Electronics Club
site.
Use
the included breadboard to test the circuits, leaving your components
available for re-use. Then, if you find a circuit that you want to
keep, Bitsbox can provide stripboard, and any other parts you may need
to complete the job.
