News – October 12, 2012
This week we are introducing a new feature – Handy Circuits. We are beginning to build a large collection of simple circuits that accomplish useful things! This collection will be hosted on our Forums and accessible to anyone!
Our first circuit will blink an LED; after all, who doesn’t have a use for that? Using a pair of transistors and a capacitor we can assemble a circuit to “strobe” an LED. We have provided both Breadboard and Schematic diagrams so be sure to try it out!
Since not everyone has a stockpile of electronic components we have added kits to the online store for your convenience! Each Handy Circuit will be able in kit form starting with “Blink / Strobe LED”
And of course if you are just getting started with the hobby and need a few of the basic essentials we have also put together a couple very simple prototyping kit which will also be compatible with our upcoming Electronics 101 tutorials!
