Review on ⚡️ Enhanced Search-Optimized ThinkFun Electric Circuit Logic: Current by Jesus Olsen

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Good puzzle and basic introduction to electronics despite some manufacturing flaws

Good idea that needs some reworking during production. The square pieces should snap onto the board and form a chain. Sometimes they snap in easily, sometimes with difficulty, often you snap in and the part next to it breaks out. Even when they all appear to be there, you often have to slide them together to connect. The lining of the box also needs improvement: it keeps the parts neatly in place, but holds them so tight that it's almost impossible to get them out. You really have to pull out the liner and push from the bottom. It's also a great puzzle game. The electrical concepts are very simple: electricity moves in one direction, LED lights allow it to pass in one direction but not the other, and when the circuit splits, the current tends to follow the easier path. It's better to think of it mainly as a logic puzzle that introduces these core concepts, and at this level the puzzles are varied and fun.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • old
