SparkFun Simon Says - Through-Hole Soldering Kit

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 firmware1x Buzzer2x 0.1μF Cap1x 10K Resistor4x LEDs (blue yellow red green)2x Slide Switch4x Battery Clips2x AA Batteries1x Button pad1x Bezel4x Standoffs and screws1x Assembly instructionsNote: 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.Documents:SchematicEagle FilesSoldering TutorialAssembly InstructionsBootloader NoteCodeGitHub (Design Files & Example Code)Replaces:KIT-09883
