TEACH TOURSELF ELECTRONICS
ec_kit.jpg

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
  • Random lights.
  • 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.
  Only £17.99
