Mims III is a trusted name in the electronics world for good reason: his charming and engaging texts have drawn millions of people into the world of electronics for the first time. Star Simpson has created an electronic tribute to those hand-drawn circuits by bringing the projects to life. These kits are an exquisitely designed series of finely crafted and highly detailed boards. These are the \u003cstrong\u003eCircuit Classics\u003c\/strong\u003e. They make a great gift for a first-time learner, an expert tinkerer, or even just as a fun conversation piece for your desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis initial release includes three of Forrest’s circuit designs in kit form: the Dual-LED Flasher, the Stepped Tone Generator, and the Bargraph Voltage Indicator.

This circuit gained a life of its own, jumping from the pages of the 555 Timer IC Circuits Engineer's Mini-Notebook and out into the world as the storied Atari Punk Console. Well-known for enabling the creation of sounds just like classic Atari console games from the 1980s, this kit from Circuit Classics provides a fun audio-centric project, as well as an interesting introduction to digital circuitry, feedback, and oscillators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKit includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Stepped Tone Generator PCB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Alcohol Prep Pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Battery Clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x 556 Integrated Circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x 1kΩ Resistor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x 1MΩ Potentiometer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x 5kΩ Potentiometer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x 10μF Capacitor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x 0.1μF Capacitor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x 0.01 μF Capacitor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Black Alligator Clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Red Alligator Clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 x Rubber Foot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Wooden Stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou'll need a couple of additional tools and materials in order to put this kit together: a soldering iron (like this one), and solder.
