VellemanMK103 Sound to Light Unit Kits, Multi-Colour

As a kid I used to do a lot of electronics projects with my dad, I'm talking between 8 and 14 years old. But since then I haven't done much, apart from an electronics course I had to take in college.I recently decided to get a bit more into this sort of stuff and thought one of this kits would be a good starting point to refresh my memory in the soldering techniques and all that.It probably took me 2 or 3 hours to build this, so not too long, it's easy enough and the instructions are quite good actually. And the most important thing, it worked! My wife was impressed, my baby daughter loved it and loved the fact the the lights would blink to her noises.I'm attaching a few pics of the progress as I was building it, oh yes, and at the end I did a little simple modification of my own, just installed an on/off switch.

The media could not be loaded.  I used to do some extremely simple soldering projects as a kid and now wanted to start over in electronics so ordered this alongside the tools to test those out. It's really great, was easy to put together and it works, tried it against a synthesizer and all the flickering is quite spectacular. The only downside that it was probably a bit too easy to assemble, so even if you're a complete beginner I'd recommend considering slightly more advanced kits. Other than that, great!

This is the third (and last) Velleman project I've bought. Each time the components and the PCB have been very poor quality.I've a long history in soldering PCBs and although out of practice I know what I'm doing so when the contacts flake off I know it's not a quality product.I bought this as an introduction to my 10 year old boy, it got 2 stars because we at least got to spend an hour together before the crushing disappointment of his project not working took hold.

Nice little kit, fairly simple to build.Built with my 8 year old as an introduction to soldering. the PCB was well labeled and fairly forgiving of her heavy handed soldering method!

Was interesting and easy to put together but not enough information haw to incorporate it with anything else. Good value for money

All received many thanks

Afer assembling everything correctly, and having completed other Velleman kits without any issues, this doesn't work at all!

As described. A gift that my grandson will love
