Big! Exactly as advertised!

Well, today I got everything that was supposed to be there. I did the math and organized and it turned out exactly what it should have been. No more and no less. I've never owned any electronic components, but these things don't seem cheap. The flex jumpers dangle a bit on the breadboard, but that doesn't create bad contacts. All of the components fit together perfectly, and some are even fixed, like an adjustable potentiometer. Checked all resistors and capacitors, all ok. LEDs transistors are all good. I especially like the power supply that plugs into the breadboard, it's very beautiful and practical. I'm not going to mess around with Arduinos, I just wanted a breadboard and components to experiment with and measure with my multimeter, which is great. It has 5 PNP and 5 NPN transistors and most of the starter kits I checked don't have them. I wish it had some ICs because I need a 555 timer but I could get them for next to nothing. There are no instructions or anything like that, but you can look for simple layout tutorials. I used a photoresistor, an npn transistor, some resistors and an LED so that the LED only glows in the dark. There is a good set of resistors that I was able to experiment with and get the right sensitivity. That's the main reason why I started this business to add night lights into wood carvings. And this little kit was perfect for me to learn how to make it. A multimeter with alligator clips really helps with this. Good business! You might want to buy some kind of organizer for small items. Resistors especially need to be organized with labels as the small colored bands are too difficult to read. PS I got the kit for $16.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • It worries me
