Electronic kits provide useful electronic devices, teach electronics theory and are a relaxing, fun activity. Some kits produce complete products while others are designed to be be used as circuit building blocks for robots, alarm systems, P.A. systems or almost any other electronic project that crosses your mind. Its hard to build one of these kits without learning something about either electronic theory or the practical aspects of circuit building. Each kit comes with a circuit diagram and an explanation of how it works. Electronic kits are also a lot of fun -- some of us find that spending an evening huddled over a warm soldering iron is good mental therapy. Don't forget to check our Soldering Robot Kits and BEAM Robotics sections for more soldering projects!

Picture of product18W BTL Audio Power Amplifier Module



This is a class AB audio power amplifier using the Hitachi HA13118 module. It is easy to construct and has a minimum of external components. The module has a high power output from a low voltage supply using the bridge tied load method, and a high gain of 55dB. This will be especially useful in applications where the input signal is a low level, without requiring the use of a separate pre-amplifier, eg. a guitar practice amplifier. Full current, and thermal protection is provided by the IC, making it extremely reliable. Manufacturer: KITSRUS. Manufacturer's Part Number: K105.

 50W Hi-Fi Audio Power Amplifier with Mute & Standby



This kit is based on an the amazing TDA7294 IC amplifier module from ST Electronics. It is intended for use as a high quality class AB amplifier in hi-fi applications. It has verylow noise and distortion, wide bandwidth and goodoutput current capability, enabling it to supply high power into both 4 and 8 loads. It has both short circuit and thermal protection, so is quite robust. With a suitable power supply, such as one based on Power Amplifier DC Supply, this module can deliver over 50WRMS into 4 or 8 ohms with < 0.1% Total HarmonicDistortion (THD) and < 0.1% IntermodulationDistortion (IMD). It is also suitable as a replacement or upgrade power amp stage for many existing amplifiers of between 30W and 50W output provided that they have a suitable power supply (most do). Manufacturer: KITSRUS. Manufacturer's Part Number: K106.

Motor and Servo Control
 

Picture of productBidirectional DC Motor Speed Controller Electronic Kit



This kit allows controlling the speed of a DC motor in both the forward and reverse direction. The range of control is from fully OFF to fully ON in both directions. The direction and speed is controlled using a single potentiometer. Turningthe pot in one direction causes the motor to start spinning. Turning the pot in the other direction causes the motor to spin in the opposite direction. The center position on thepot is OFF. This design avoids the need for a direction reversing switch and avoids mechanical and electrical stress by forcing a smooth transition from one direction to the other. Manufacturer: KITSRUS.

Picture of productIR Decoder Electronic Kit



This kit uses a commercial 14 button remote control unit to trigger one of 14 output pins on a decoder IC. The output pins are normally high and go low for xms when the corresponding button is pressed. the pin corresponding to that button goes low. You can use this circuit to control up to 14 relays or to control the movement of a robot. This circuit is intended to be used as a component of larger systems, so no PCB is supplied. It is up to you to breadboard the application then make your own PCB. A sample application/test circuit is provided.

This kit includes:
  1. A 14 button Infra Red Remote Control. This is a pre-built remote which requires 2 AAA batteries (not included).
  2. a 3-pin Infrared Receiver Module, the Waitrony PIC1018SCL, which converts the modulated 38kHz signal into data pulses.
  3. An Atmel 89C2051-24PC microcontroller which we have preprogrammed to decode the IR data pulses from the remote control into one of 14 active low outputs. All required components for the microcontroller are supplied - a 12MHz ceramic resonator for the oscillator, resistor, capacitor and diode for the power-on reset circuit plus two 10K pullup resistors. Manufacturer: KITSRUS. Manufacturer's Part Number: K092.

Picture of productLogic Probe Electronic Kit



A logic probe indicates the digital signal level (one, zero or pulsing) at a test point. While a standard digital or analog voltmeter can be used to show steady state signals, it can't respond quickly enough to show the short pulses that are common in digial circuits. When using a volmeter most digital circuits appear to be idle or locked-up. Logic probes are small and cheap enough that you can generally afford to have several clipped into a troublesome circuit to simultaneously monitor its overall operation. The logic proble you build with this kit is switch selectable for either TTL or CMOS signal levels and can detect very fast pulses. It gives both a visual (3 LEDs) and audio (piezo buzzer) indication of circuit activity. Manufacturer: KITSRUS. Manufacturer's Part Number: K024.
