The kit
trains the student in breadboard wiring.
HPKE-01
utilizes about 40 components, which include
an Integrated Circuit chip (IC555 Timer), several resistors,
capacitors, LEDs, an LDR (photocell), a transistor, a diode,
breadboards, a connector, bulb, bulb holder, batter}
holder, push button switch, potentiometer, and screwdriver,
etc.
Through the
first 25 experiments, the student explores the functions of
resistors, capacitors, transistors, diodes, LEDs, LDRs and
associated electronic components utilizing the assembly of
several exciting circuits. This section provides the requisite
background for the advanced -wiring circuits that follow.
The
latter 18 experiments use the IC555,
which include many exciting circuits including Flasher circuits.
Light sensitive alarms. Timing tests. Liquid level indicators,
and a Touch-Operated device, among others.
The instruction
manual is elaborate, providing circuit diagrams and information
on electronic components as well as the IC555 Timer circuitry.
Voltage Drops are explored, besides calculations of
Effective Resistance of resistors connected in series and in
parallel.
Works on 4 "C"
Batteries. Batteries not included.
