This is a basic component kit designed and curated by Robocraze. This component kit consists of resistors, capacitors, transistors, diodes, LED’s, breadboard, wires, switch and other miscellaneous components that are essential for engineering projects.

Why is a Basic Component Electronics Kit necessary?

This is a collection of all the common and important electronic components that every electronics engineer needs for various projects. Without these essential equipments, you will not be able to test, prototype and run your project. This is more like a starter kit for electronic engineering projects. This component kit is designed and curated by our engineers keeping the needs of a enginnering student or a project enthusiast in mind.

Note: Weight of the Package: 150grams (approx) and Dimensions (approx): 22 x 15 x 5cms

Applications of this kit 

The Basic Component Kit is extremely versatile and can be used for various electronics projects requiring transistors, resistors, capacitors, diodes. It also be used to build independent circuits such as 555 timer based LED circuits.

Sample Experiment

Building a 555 timer based LED blinking circuit

Material Required:

1. Breadboard Power Supply
2. 9V Battery
3. DC Barrel Jack
4. Breadboard
5. 555 Timer
6. Jumper Wires

Procedure:

The Blinking LED circuit uses a 555 timer in astable mode, which generates a continuous output in the form of a square wave at pin 3. This waveform will turn LED ON and OFF. The duration of ON/ OFF depends on the time cycle of the square wave. We can change the speed of blinking by changing the value of capacitance.

The circuit diagram for the LED blink circuit is shown below:

After you turn on the circuit, you should be able to see the LED blinking on and off periodically

There are many applications of 555 timers, generally used in Lamp Dimmer, Wiper Speed control, Timer Switch, Variable duty cycle fixed frequency oscillator, PWM Modulation etc.
