As we can't sell kits directly like past CCC events, we're making some simple electronics kits available to order online, and we'll send them by mail. The kits will be available to order until we run out. Support for these kits is available only from BlinkenArea (not from Binary Kitchen) via e-mail at any time, and by phone/video call during rC3 (outside workshop times) when someone is available. Kits contain all necessary components, a circuit board and printed instructions in English.

  • LED Light Chaser Ring (20 LED version): 5 € (see below for colours - battery CR2032 included)
  • LED Light Chaser Ring (30 LED version): 6 € (see below for colours - battery CR2032 included). This version has a small layout error, a trace has to be cut and a wire bridge must be soldered. Both of these things are easy to do, the details are in the included assembly instructions.
  • AKL-Mini (LED heart): 5 € (battery CR2032 included)
  • Continuity tester (visual [red LED] and audible [beep], only detects true continuity < 100Ω, requires two standard multimeter probe leads with 4mm plugs): 12 € (battery not included, 1x AAA required).
  • LCD Clock: 20 € (batteries not included, 3x AAA required)
  • ArcadeNano Colour: 80 € (USB powered)

All kits sold out.

For the LED light chaser rings, you can choose the LEDs from the list below. A mix of colours is possible. All LEDs have a same-colour diffused lens (i.e. a red lens for a red LED), except where stated differently.

  • red
  • orange
  • yellow
  • yellowish green
  • blue
  • white (not diffused)
  • NEW: white (diffused)
  • NEW: purple/pink (white lens, diffused)
