          Movement Detector 
          Components 
         
        This is not quite a  complete 
          kit; the package contains the three key parts for a PIR detector (personal 
          infrared detector). You get the PCB mounted Fresnel lens, a PIR movement 
          sensor and the Integrated Circuit that we use in the full kit (No. 80-300). 
          Included are eight pages of documentation notes and circuits to show 
          you how to proceed.

          One Chip AM Radio 
            
          This is a complete AM radio for the standard broadcast band, most of 
          which is on a single IC. Other components, such as the coils and variable 
          capacitor to make a finished radio, are included. The IC is the RF amp, 
          detector and AGC circuitry. The IC’s output drives a two stage, transistor 
          audio amplifier and 3" speaker. Operates from 9 volt battery. A good 
          kit for beginners to see and build.

         78XX Regulated 
        Power Supply 
        This circuit can be made into a regulated 
          power supply for voltages from five volts up to twenty-four volts. The 
          user must add any of the standard 78xx  
          TO-220 positive voltage regulators (7805 or 7806 or etc...thru 7824) 
          and the voltage will equal which ever part you select (the last two 
          digits of the number indicates voltage; 7805 = five volts etc.) . Input 
          AC or DC (unregulated) about three volts greater than desired output 
          voltage; complete instructions included. The 7800 series outputs up 
          to 1 ampere typically. LED indicator and onboard on/off switch. You 
          could use this with a junk box AC or DC power supply or supply your 
          own transformer etc..

          DC Motor Speed 
          Controller 
         Vary the speed of DC motors the very 
          best way with this kit. Gear boxes can be costly and series resistors 
          may cause stalling. This circuit delivers the voltage to the motor with 
          pulses and the speed is controlled via pulse width modulation (PWM). 
          The speed control is a potentiometer, for DC motors up to 100 Volts 
          at a maximum of five amps.

          Programmable 
          Dice 
          
        
         The idea of an electronic dice game of 
          one kind or another is almost as old as glaciers. But this one is very 
          clever and includes software on a floppy (for the IBM PC) plus a huge 
          manual describing how such things work, software for other projects 
          etc.. This may be the most educational kit in the line.

         Variable Power Supply  
         
        A very basic power supply that can be adjusted over a range of about 
          1.5 to 35 volts DC. If you add a heat sink (included), you can run it 
          as "hot" as 2 amps output; otherwise about 60mA (at)12 volts. This is 
          a text book circuit using an LM317, which is a 3 terminal regulator 
          in a TO-220 package. Input can be either AC or DC; DC input must be 
          at least 2.5V above the required voltage output. You could use a surplus 
          transformer from 12 volts up for input

          Parallel Port 
          Relay Board 
           for the IBM PC (software included)  
        With each advance in personal 
          computers, a surplus of unwanted older machines increases, either at 
          give-away prices or you may have one sitting on a shelf. Thus you can 
          have a low cost, sophisticated "dedicated controller" to turn on or 
          off devices in the home or lab or radio shack etc. The circuit includes 
          eight relays controlled with (included) software for either DOS or Windows 
          3.1. Connects to the parallel port of any IBM-PC.

         Three Light/Dark Activated  Relay Switches 
         
        This kit is one of our three 
          separate circuits in one; three separate PC boards etc.. This one will 
          give you both useful circuits and experience in different approaches, 
          circuit-wise, to doing the same thing; controlling a device with a change 
          to either light or darkness. Each kit is equipped with a relay rated 
          up to 240VAC (at) 5 Amps. You may either turn "on" or turn "off" the 
          controlled device. A good kit for the student learning electronics.

          PIC (programmable 
          IC) PROGRAMMER 
         
        An entry level programmer and terrific educational aid. 
          The 16C84 micro-controller from Microchip Technologies has become very 
          popular with hobbyists and beginners. Does not require U/V light to 
          erase programs; programs are erased electrically and the chip used repeatedly. 
          This kit includes all software and hardware needed to begin programming; 
          a full manual is on disk. Connects to an IBM-PC parallel port, connector 
          included. Nine volt transistor battery operation.

         117 Volt AC Relay Board  
         
        Many electronic projects use 
          a low voltage circuit, i.e. timer, light sensor, dark sensor, temperature 
          sensor, movement detector etc., and output a signal when a certain predetermined 
          event occurs. This signal is often a rising or falling 12 volt pulse; 
          but then what do you do with it? You use it to control a relay capable 
          of handling up to ten amps (or five amps  240VAC). The circuit 
          includes a DPDT relay with a life expectancy of about ten million cycles. 
          Be sure to build this circuit into a suitable case, so not to be exposed 
          110V AC connections.
