Source for electronic hobby kits?
Other than Ramsey electronics? Looking for a supplier of electronic hobby kits other than Ramsey Electronics. Thanks in advance!
Thanks BobB.
Unfortunately, parts-express only has a couple of special pieces. If you look at Ramsey, they have practical stuff. FM and AM transmitters, amplifiers, filters, radios, multimeters, battery controls, cameras, timers…. stuff that people actually use.
Truth be told I solder, test, and resell these things. I’m just tired of dealing with Ramsey because they don’t give discounts for bulk orders, shipping is slow, and component failure rate is 5%
@Rosy
Thanks for that. Unfortunately ordering from the UK entails custom fees and taxes on the order of 25% rendering the resale non-profitable for me.
www.parts-express.com sells the Velomen (I think that I spelled that correctly) series of kits.
The days of Heathkit are long gone, sad to say.
Far Circuits sells circuit boards from projects published in magazines and books.

hobby robotics kits
Hobby Robotics kit. Soldered circuit and assembled but doesn’t work. Troubleshooting ideas/tips?
For my high school physics class we have been assigned a project where we must solder and assemble a circuit, so we picked an Escape Robot Kit. We soldered and assemble and it won’t work at all. There must be a problem with how we soldered or something. Any ideas of how to potentially quickly solve the situation?
It will take as long as it takes.
Find a DVM and measure every voltage on the circuit with respect to ground (or -ve supply). Pencil them in on the circuit. Then sit down and consider how the circuit works and see if the voltages stack up. If you have a wrong voltage, look around that stage for an error. Work your way back towards the input until the voltages are correct.
Assume that the design and circuit are correct. Don’t attempt to modify the design. Just look for errors on your part. Don’t discount faulty components. Quite often new, out of the box components can be faulty.
