The 555 Astable/Monostable PCB project has been designed specifically to support and integrate with teaching schemes for Key Stages 3 & 4. Instruction details are available and are designed to be photocopied for class use.
The kit is a timing circuit, which can be used to switch devices or circuits on and off
Knowledge, skills and understanding can be developed in: component recognition and purpose; PCB circuit assembly and soldering; system and circuit principles; signal tracing and fault finding; product design
The kit can be used for both class teaching or for individual project work
All components, including the PCBs, are provided
The kit includes: resistors and capacitors, NE555 timer, switches and preset resistors, LEDs, wire PCB and PP3 battery clip
Empty PCBs are also available in packs of 5
Kit contains components for 5 circuits
Suitable for Key Stages 3 & 4 (ages 11 to 16)
Note: Each kit requires 1x PP3 battery (not included).
Teachers notes are available to download on our Education Resources site.
When I saw this Rapid astable/monostable multivibrator kit priced at around £8 + VAT, I thought the price was for just one kit. I was utterly gobsmacked when I discovered the kit contained sufficient components to build 5 (FIVE) complete high quality units.
