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.) .
You 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.. Note: Consider the Philmore transformers: no. TR121 for 12
volts or no. TR241 for 24 volts. These are 110 to120 volts AC transformers and
the output is center tapped. Both are rated at one ampere.

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.
No. 80-620 Detector Parts
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.

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.
No. 80-670 DC Motor Speed
Controller kit
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.

Programmable Dice kit
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.
