Solder Practice Kit
Code: SOLDPRAC
Click here for teaching unit Overview
The SOLDER PRACTICE KIT consists of a small Protoboard (PCB-PROTO) and a selection of basic electronic components.
It can be used by students to practice and hone their soldering skills – without the risk of damaging an expensive kit.
This kit provides the means to learn soldering and de-soldering skills, and provides the opportunity to learn component identification and values. With 336 solder points you can practice soldering components and wires to gain proficiency in soldering.
Electronic Dice (2-5 hours)
Code: ELDICE
Click here for teaching unit Overview
The PICAXE ELECTRONIC DICE uses a Picaxe microcontroller. Using coding to program the Picaxe microcontroller you can randomly generate a LED Display to show one of six LED combinations simulating the display of a thrown dice.
The dice works by switching Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) on and off in the pattern of dots found on a traditional dice. The microcontroller is the ‘brain’ of the dice. It can be programmed to switch things on and off in any sequence. The microcontroller in the dice can switch the LEDs on and off to show numbers between one and six.
As the ‘diagonal’ pairs on LEDs in the dice always light at the same time, they can be switched on and off by the same microcontroller output.
NOTE: A Jiffy case is available separately if required (JIFCASELD)
