This kit is for making your own breadboard-friendly very low dropout adjustable power supply. A good power supply is essential to electronic projects. While there are many existing designs for adjustable power supplies, this one makes improvements that make it more useful for hobby designs MIC2941 regulator has guaranteed 1.25A outputLow dropout, only 40mV - 400mV compared to 1.25V - 2.0V for LM317. This means you can use a wider range of output...

In 1970, John Conway came up with a 1-player game called Game of Life. The Game of Life is a mathematical game that simulates 'colonies' that grow or die based on how crowded or lonely they are and is known for the way it creates a beautiful organic display out of randomness. Here is a design for a simple electronic project that plays Conway's Game of Life. Make one kit and keep it on your desk, or attach multiple kit modules...

Machine learning has come to the 'edge' - small microcontrollers that can run a very miniature version of TensorFlow Lite to do ML computations.  But you don't need super complex hardware to start developing your own TensorFlow models! We've curated a simple kit to dip your toes into machine learning waters. Kit includes: Adafruit PyBadge with SAMD51 Cortex M4F processor @ 120MHz, with display, speaker and buttonsElectret...

Introducing the MENTA, a portable minty Arduino-compatible project that fits into a common mint tin. We took our super popular Boarduino series, and wrapped it with a prototyping area into a rounded PCB that slots directly into an Altoids-sized metal tin. We included everything you expect to jump-start your project: DC power adapter jack with polarity protectionBeefy 1 Amp 5V regulator and 250mA 3.3V regulator for 3.3V devicesGreen power LED,...

The  Werkstatt-Ø1: Kit from Moog is a patchable and compact, one oscillator analog synthesizer. It was originally created as a kit, to be the foundation for exclusive “Engineering VIP” workshops at Moogfest 2014. Due to a number of requests, Moog is now offering this  no-soldering-required version and assembly is extremely simple! Werkstatt was created to be an educational tool, but it is also a...

With the Lumi Photo Printing Kit, you can print images on fabric using the power of sunlight. The kit uses Inkodye - Lumi's own photo-sensitive dye that develops its color once exposed to sunlight or other UV lights. It's an easy way to experiment with dying and textile printing without the need for a special ink curing lamp. This kit is a great alternative to screen-printing and has complete instructions on how to print a negative...

With the Lumi Shadow Printing Kit, you can learn the basics of Lumi's own Inkodye, a sunlight-activated dye. This kit teaches you how to print unique patterns with ordinary everyday objects. It's an easy and affordable way to begin printing with Inkodye and is a great first step to printing a custom canvas pouch, without the need for a special ink curing lamp. While the kit comes with instructions, there's also a step-by-step guide...

With the Lumi Sunfold Printing Kit, you can print patterns onto fabric using the power of sunlight. The kit uses Inkodye - Lumi's own photo-sensitive dye that develops its color once exposed to sunlight or other UV lights. It's an easy way to experiment with dying and textile printing without the need for a special ink curing lamp. This kit is a great alternative to tie-dying and has complete instructions on how to print a pattern...

The MintySynth kit - 2.0 is a great way to make your next musical creation while experimenting with electronics and programming.  Open source and hackable, the MintySynth is an Arduino-compatible synth kit that fits in an Altoids tin. This comes as an unassembled kit so some soldering is required - but the assembly itself is fairly straightforward and the software comes preloaded so creating your next project should be a breeze!...

If you're new to the world of hardware, don't panic--the Particle Maker Kit (with Core)  has everything you need to level up from hacker zero to hardware hero.  In addition to one shiny new Core, the Particle Maker Kit includes all the components and accessories you need to start building simple Internet-enabled projects.  The kit comes in a super-neat project carrying case so you can put tidy up your toys when you're...

This is a SIM card reader/writer kit for experimentation and investigation of SIM & Smart cards. Once the kit is assenbled, accompanying software can be used to read and write from the card. Together they can be used to backup stored SIM card data, recover deleted SMS's and phone contacts, examine the last 10 phone numbers dialed, etc. (Despite being called a SIM reader, it can also write to SIM cards) This project is fairly easy and can...

Datadealer is a functionally identical clone of the Mutable Instruments Shruthi-1 - a hybrid analog / digital synthesizer that’s as powerful as it is versatile.
