Tools you need

  • Iron (30W)
  • Solder wire
  • Multimeter
  • Tweezers
  • Wire cutters
  • Power supply: USB or battery

  • Comes with user manual and online PDF file, which will guide you how to finish step by step, perfect for school basic electronics experiment projects.
  • Before soldering the LEDs, it’s recommended to use a multimeter to check if there are any LEDs that are not bright.
  • Please make sure all components in right direction and right place; and check whether pseudo and float welding, this is very important in practicing and testing.

Nice kit. Tons of solder practice. I recommend putting IC2 in before the LEDS and transistors because space gets pretty tight. Also populating and soldering one row of LEDs at a time was helpful. Things to look out for are when you clip the leads make sure nothing is bridged. I used pretty dull flush cutters, but a nice sharp pair of diagonal cutters would be helpful.

I definitely got better at soldering from assembling this. Also learned different ways to hold components in while working on it. I always appreciate when a company includes extras (LEDs and a transistor in this case) because accidents happen. The board is fun to play with and show off to friends.

I wish someone would just sell the PCB. I have tons of through hole parts which I would love to use for things like this. Good product but expensive when you look at the parts list.

I assembled two of these over the last few days. The first one I think I messed up as 6 of the LED's did not illuminate and I am pretty sure it was my mistake. The second one I assembled and I was much more careful with my soldering using a finer tip and it worked out perfectly. It is fun to build and really helps with dialing in your soldering skills. The finished product is an adjustable light chase and is exactly what the product claims to be and I think it was well worth the money. I would recommend a good solder sucker in case you make a mistake for easy solder removal/cleanup.

It's also just a really really neat circuit. And unlike most cheap kits, it actually comes with a paper schematic so you can trace any issues! I will certainly recommend this seller to anyone who is learning to solder.

A great evening of learning and fun! Mine didn't work perfectly when complete, but it's fairly safe to assume user error on my part.

This is an excellent product for those who are interested in electronic devices, for children who are interested in learning about electronics and for those who are interested in their electronic kit building skills. I do have one suggestion for anyone who is interested in purchasing this kit. You should purchase a small kit with DIP sockets. It is better to place the integrated circuits into sockets so that if they ever need to be replaced it will be easy to complete the step. You need to have two 8 pin sockets and two 16 pin sockets.

It was missing the 3.3k resistor, but I had a 10k and a 5k laying around that I was able to put together to make a 3.3k resistor. Besides the missing part it is a pretty cool kit

To preface my review: i've never spent a minute soldering anything before, so I was going into this completely blind outside of watching some tutorials on youtube.The instructions are well written and document every single individual component required to complete the project, and there was never a moment I felt confused or lost due to poorly made instructions. The pictures are pretty blurry, but they ensure to circle every solder point on the board and indicate what numbered component goes where so you don't end up putting a capacitor where it shouldn't go.It took approximately 6-7 hours across two days to complete with the right hardware in hand (heat proof soldering mat, soldering iron, flux core solder, fume sucker, solder sucker, and some copper to remove any accidental soldering plus a multimeter will be handy for testing components prior to soldering). Very fun and simple to do if you have an idea of what you're doing or have worked with small consumer electronics before, but I could see how someone with zero experience working with electronics would easily get lost.I managed to get it working on my first try, but had to replace an LED Diode as it was dead out of the box. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to learn how to solder and has been working with repairing electronics or computers in the past, but maybe not someone entirely new. Beginners should start with practicing on wires!

This is a great little kit to not only practice your soldering skills but to also have a ton of fun playing with it, took me around 20 minutes to assemble, really simple instructions and the pcb is very clearly marked for each component, the diy aspect really gives you the sense of accomplishment when you've finished building, gives it that nice touch knowing you put it together yourself! This is a relatively easy build for someone with basic soldering skills, worth every penny!

This is a nice kit to spend an afternoon building with a fun result. The board seems to be surprisingly good quality with nice clear markings for component placement. All components are good quality. All this makes for a good project for beginner to intermediate soldering skills.You will need a multimeter to measure the resistors, but if you do t have one, the colour bands are nice and clear.General tips for beginners:- solder iron temp max 700 degrees- don't apply too much time/heat soldering the LEDs, as they are sensitive to heat damage- take note of the LED polarity: SHORT LEAD = negative = the line on the board marking = flat side of board marking = flat side of LED bulb bottom rim- use IC Sockets (not included) if you have them- mount components in order from lowest to tallest height (resistors 1st, then LEDs, small switches, capacitors, transistors, pots & jack, ICs last)- take your time, take a break & enjoy!
