Transistor Astable Project
 
 
Available from our online store
99p kit available
 
This project introduces astable circuits and also other important concepts including how resistance and capacitance affect timing circuits and the use of a transistor as a switch. There are a number of possible outcomes for the circuit including electronic decorations, a police car/fire engine or advertising. A unique training system is also available for use alongside this project to assist students with making important design decisions,
  • Frequency of the astable circuit can be varied
  • Different outputs can be used
  • Battery-powered
  • The PCB has space for up to five outputs on either side
  • Professional double-sided PCB with silkscreen and solder-resist
  • 3 versions available for maximum flexibility
  • Blank PCBs are available separately
  • A unique training system is available
  • Suitable for Key Stages 2, 3 & 4 (ages 7 to 16)
  • Documentation and PDF schematic available

Why not add buzzers to make a siren with flashing lights?
 
It is possible to change kit contents for example LED sizes and colours and components can be upgraded, for example changing the DPDT slide switch for a round rocker switch.  If you have particular requirements please contact us
