This is the latest version of our popular through-hole Simon Says Kit. We've made some changes to the board that should make it easier than ever for the beginner to build! All components are through-hole, making this kit a great place to start when you're learning to solder. When building this kit, you'll have a chance to solder a 28-pin microprocessor, LEDs, battery clips and more. After you have successfully assembled the kit, you will have a greater knowledge of through-hole soldering and the tools, techniques, and terminology required to populate your own PCB prototype. You will have a development platform with 5 outputs (LEDs and buzzer), 5 inputs (buttons), and serial for debugging. And, of course, you'll have your very own Simon game! Checkout the assembly instructions - we're pretty proud of them. The kit even includes batteries! Assembly time varies, but for a true beginner with no soldering experience, the kit can take 20-40 minutes to assemble. A soldering iron and wire cutters are the bare minimum tools required. We scoured the earth and found a really fantastic beginner's soldering iron for $10, solder for $2, and wire cutters for $2. We also have a Learn to Solder version of the kit which includes all the tools you'll need! Kit Includes: * 1x ATmega328 - pre-programmed with Simon firmware * 1x Buzzer * 2x 0.1μF Cap * 1x 10K Resistor * 4x LEDs (blue, yellow, red, green) * 2x Slide Switch * 4x Battery Clips * 2x AA Batteries * 1x Button pad * 1x Bezel * 4x Standoffs and screws * 1x Assembly instructions Note: This video was made using the older version of our Simon kit, so there are a few components that won't be in the same place as in your kit, but the parts are still the same so the video should still be helpful.
