5 Ultra Bright LEDs random COB Module

Five Ultra Bright LEDs flashing in random or in sequence. Uses a COB (Chip-on-board) PCB measuring 3cm x 1.5 cm. The flashing frequency is set by a single external resistor between 300K and 1M ohm. A pad connected high determines the random or sequential flash pattern. A second pad connected low determines whether the flashing is continuous or set by a toggle switch. Ideal for schools. 2.0V DC to 3.6V DC operation. Operating current 10 - 16mA. Standby current is less than 1uA. (CPS52M)

Square Wave Oscillator LN/NE555 (inc box

Simple circuit to generate square waves of approximately 1Hz 10Hz 100Hz 1KHz 10KHz & 100KHz. A square wave generator is one of those pieces of equipment that has many uses in the workshop yet few hobbyists actually have. This simple kit, based on the popular 555 timer IC, generates six preset frequencies from 1Hz to 100khz. It has an operating voltage range of 5 to 18VDC and even provides visual indication of the output. The kit is constructed on a single-sided printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB size: is 78 x 50mm (3.1" x 2") and will mount on a small plastic 'Jiffy' box. (CPS111)

20 second voice recorder/playback module (A93010/A96010)

PLEASE NOTE: A96010 or A93010 is supplied depending on availability. Currently only A93010 is available and is the one that is been sold. A96010 is not currently available. The small size is because the IC is in Chip-on-board form. One button is pushed down to record the message. The electret microphone is on the board. The LED turns on during this time. The other button just has to be momentarily pressed to replay the message. A second momentary press during playback will stop the playback. Sampling rate is 4K. All you have to add is the speaker (not included) and 5V DC power (not included). The record play time is determined by the 52K resistor. If you change it to 89K you will get 30 seconds but at a reduced sampling rate. Operating current 25mA. Standby current 10 uA. Size: 34 x 23 x 11 mm. The module comes supplied as you see it in the photo.

OPTIONAL ITEMS (Not included):
2 x (BB089) connector cable to connect the voice recorder to a speaker and power source.
1 x (PB244) Speaker
1 x Battery holder that can hold either 4 x AAA or 4 x AA or 4 x C or 4 x D cells. See our battery holders.
