Electronics offers a great deal of scope for innovation for its practitioners. Dabbling with electronics circuits can be a feverish hobby for the interested people. There are plenty of circuit diagrams and electronic components like diodes, resistors, capacitors, transistors and integrated chips (ICs) that are available in the market at a reasonably low cost. A person who is interested in electronics can buy these items and indulge in making and experimenting with a variety of fancy electronics items that range from clocks to robots. It is actually a good hobby to encourage among kids for it provides for a channel for the kids to vent their creativity and vigorousness in a constructive way.
Electronic kits contain electronic diagrams for making useful electronic equipment like radio, camera or clock and the electronic components like transistors, ICs, capacitors and resistors for making the equipment. The kit also contains printed circuit boards or bread boards for connecting the components and instructions for connecting the components for making a specific device. For printed circuit board, the user needs to know how to solder these components into the board using a soldering iron and lead. In the case of bread boards, no soldering is required. One can plug in the components into the interconnected holes of the breadboard. The electronic kits are generally intended for children and people who take electronics as a hobby after growing up. Most of the equipment that can be made using electronic kits are generally harmless and largely contain a surprise value.
Soldering Equipment
There are several companies that offer a variety of electronics kits. A company called MadLab Electronic offers electronic kits under three categories: for beginners, for medium-level users and for advanced users. For using MadLab's electronic kit, the user needs to have a soldering iron, wire cutter and a solder sucker. The last one may be highly useful because it is used to unsolder the circuits. The beginners' kit provides an opportunity for the user to make devices like burglar alarm, lie detector, flashy lights and electric telegraph. The medium kit provides an opportunity to construct devices like music synthesizer, electronic guitar, bugging device and strength calculator. With the advanced kit one can make items like rocket launcher and frequency meter.
There is another company called AmeriKit Electronic Educational Kits, which also offers kits for a variety of devices. In addition to the electronic components, printed circuit board and easy-to-follow instructions, the kits also contain the electronics theory behind the working of all the electronics devices that can be made using that particular kit. They provide kits for many devices such as radio, burglar alarm, camera, flash lights, door bells, rain detector, metal detector and voltage drop alarm. Apart from the above-mentioned companies, there are numerous companies that offer electronics kits. Most of the kits are similar in nature. Some companies are offering electronics kits even to construct a robot at home.
