ELECTRONIC ACCESSORIES

This is a through-hole version of the popular SparkFun Electronics Simon Says kit. The kit lets you make your own Simon Says game, where you have to copy a pattern that gets more and more difficult until you fail to copy it correctly. This version comes with an ATmega328 processor that is pre-programmed with the Simon Says code (the source code is provided below if you want to re-write it!). All components are through-hole, making this kit great for beginners. When building this kit, you'll have a chance to solder a 28-pin microprocessor, LEDs, battery clips and more.

After you have successfully assembled the kit, you will have a greater knowledge of through-hole soldering and the tools, techniques, and terminology required to populate your own PCB prototype. You will have a development platform with 5 outputs (LEDs and buzzer), 5 inputs (buttons), and serial for debugging. And, of course, you'll have your very own Simon game! Checkout the great assembly instructions. The kit even includes batteries! Assembly time varies, but for a true beginner with no soldering experience, the kit can take 20-40 minutes to assemble.

Kit Includes:

1x ATmega328 - pre-programmed with Simon firmware

1x Buzzer

2x 0.1μF Cap

1x 10K Resistor

4x LEDs (blue, yellow, red, green)

2x Slide Switch

4x Battery Clips

2x AA Batteries

1x Button pad

1x Bezel

4x Standoffs and screws

1x Assembly instructions.

Note: This ATmega328 comes pre-programmed with the Simon code as well as the STK500 serial bootloader. This serial bootloader will allow you to re-program the Simon game using the Arduino development environment if you want to change the code for your own. There is not direct support under the Arduino IDE but the 'LilyPad Arduino w/ ATmega328' should allow you to reprogram the board using Arduino. You will need a serial to USB converter such as the Breakout Board for FT232RL USB to Serial to program the reprogram the board from the Arduino environment.

This 2xAAA Battery Cage with JST connector is compatible with the Igloo, PICAXE wearable module and the BBC micro:bit. Supplied with 145mm colour coded power leads and a JST connector at the end, this battery cage is light and features a M3 mounting hole in the centre so it can be attached to the back of BBC micro:bit cases. The JST connector easily plugs into the Igloo and BBC micro:bit to provide a portable power supply. Ideal in any project kit with a JST connector power supply interface.

Features:

JST connector for easy power supply connections.

Holds 2 x AAA batteries.

Clips hold AAA batteries securely in place.

145mm colour coded power leads and a JST connector.

Clip holder resistant to sudden impacts and vibrations.

Contents:

1 x 2 x AAA Battery Cage with JST Connector.

Dimensions:

This Standard Servo is designed for use in remote controlled cars & boats, but can also be used in other applications and can be driven by a PICAXE chip or other microcontroller system.

It is very similar in design, weight and operation to the Futaba S3003 Servo and can be used as a direct lower cost alternative.

Features:

Ideal for use in radio controlled models, such as cars and boats.

Can be used as a direct lower cost replacement for the Futaba S3003 Servo.

Contents:

One standard servo with preinstalled Xshape servo horn

Four brass eyelets

Four Black rectangular rubber grommets

Four servo mount screws

One servo wheel 1-3/8" (35mm) in diameter

One X-shape servo arm 1.5" (38mm) across

One star shaped arm 1-1/4" (32mm) across

Nylon gears

Version 3 is the newest version of Kitronik's best selling pre-built Mono Amplifier Kit that can be used with any personal stereo equipment, including MP3 players, making it an ideal kit choice for an amplifier case design project.

It uses an NCP2890 audio amplifier IC which can output 1.0W of power. The NCP2890 is an audio power amplifier designed for portable communication device applications such as mobile phone applications and PDAs. The IC also features an onboard “Pop and Click” at startup and closedown Noise Protection Circuit.

The kit comes pre-built and is supplied with a pre-built jack cable, an 8ohm 66mm speaker, and a AA battery pack and can run off any voltage from 2.2 to 5.5 Volts (Absolute Maximum 6V). For a full list of parts, see the Contents section below.

All that is required is to solder the jack lead, speaker & battery cage to the board and you are good to go. Previous versions of this amp included a PP3 power connection and were designed to operate around 9V, V3.0 has been designed for use with 2 x AA batteries. There are several advantages to using AA batteries over PP3, they include; AA batteries are much cheaper, more readily available and will also last significantly longer than PP3 batteries, anything up to ten times longer.

Features:

Pre-built kit allows you to concentrate on product design rather than assembly.

Great value electronic project kit.

Works with any stereo equipment, including computers, phones, and tablets that can accept the jack lead.
