Review on 🕰️ Enhanced DAOKI C51 DIY Kit: 4 Bits Digital LED Electronic Clock Production Suite with Improved SEO by Aaron Masek

The DAOKI LED electronic watch soldering project is a mixed package. There are many things to like about him, but also some things that disappoint him a little. I start with the good and move on to the bad. First, the board is of good quality. With other kits I've built I've had problems with solder and traces that would rise when soldering or desoldering components. I haven't had that problem here and it's definitely worth a look. The board is also well laid out and labeled. It's a small board but everything fits and if you use some logic it's not hard to solder everything. Secondly, it is interesting to play with the finished product. This does the working hours, timers etc. After a few hours of setup it is very nice to see that it works as it should. However, there is still a lot to improve on this set. I had many minor hiccups putting it together and one major hiccup that anyone buying it should be aware of. The big catch is related to the power supply of the device itself. There are two locations for power on the board, but there is no barrel for the power supply, battery holder, or anything in the kit. I had to order separate battery holders just to see if it would work after I finished it. Nowhere on the site was this mentioned. At least for me when I buy a soldering kit I expect everything to be included in the kit. For that reason alone, I would not buy this set again. Most small remarks lead to instructions. They are not written in the best English, and it was sometimes unclear which component goes where. Deduction and some knowledge of electrical components/circuits helped me a lot to complete this project. But even after the project was completed and tied in, getting it up and running was not easy due to the unclear instructions. Again, I got it after a while, but it definitely wasn't easy. Overall, for a $5 kit, I can't complain too much. I bought this to practice my soldering and it worked fine for that purpose. I am very torn about recommending this kit and who it is for. I'm afraid newbies will get lost due to poorly translated instructions and some missing power options. But at the same time, it provides a good soldering experience for DIP headers, buttons, multi-pin components and wires on the board. With that in mind I would say this kit is not for those new to electricity and soldering. This is for people who have some experience and want more practice. This is a very inexpensive solution, and you can get working batteries for just a few bucks (they're also good for other projects you might be working on).
