Description More Details
 
The second companion pack to our wildly popular Make: Electronics book covers the experiments from Chapters 3 & 4. We've spent countless hours sourcing these hard to find parts -over 130 pieces - so you don't have to! This pack continues where Components Pack 1 left off and delves into integrated circuits, digital electronics and soldering skills. All parts are spec'd directly from the book and author Charles Platt, see below for the list of contents.

Don't have all the tools for the job? Make sure to pick up our companion toolkit!

Note: Many, but not all, of the components needed for Chapters 3 & 4's experiments are found in Components Pack 1, so we recommend having that kit already or the parts necessary for the experiments. 

About Make: Electronics

Start working on some excellent projects as soon as you crack open this unique, hands-on book. Build the circuits first, then learn the theory behind them! With Make: Electronics, you'll learn all of the basic components and important principles through a series of "learn by discovery" experiments. And you don't need to know a thing about electricity to get started.

Get step-by-step instructions on building working devices that demonstrate fundamentals such as voltage, amperage, resistance, inductance, and capacitance. Then tackle more complex electronics concepts, including analog/digital conversion, logic gates, and integrated circuits. Along the way, you'll learn valuable tips and techniques, always with clear explanations of what you're doing and why.

    Does NOT have all the parts you need for the book April 14, 2011
    Reviewer: David from Auckland, Auckland New Zealand  
    *Apparently* the new version of this kit has everything you need, but the earlier version that I brought was missing LOTS.  I recommend that you double-check what really is in this kit with what the lessons in the book need, or you'll end up making daily trips to you're local electronics store. And the pictures above don't match the list of items in the feature.

    Missing Components April 10, 2011
    Reviewer: Dominic from Florida  
    Why does Component Pack 2 stop at experiment #24? I had hoped to have the parts for all 36 projects (Picaxe, etc.)

    Un-necessary parts? January 5, 2011
    Reviewer: Mike  
    Pack 2 looks great except for the Helping Hands.  I bought the book and pack 1 and started to work on the projects ... went out and bought a decent soldiering iron, helping hands and proper strippers.  Anyway point is once you're on to pack 2 you probably don't need the helping hands, so drop them from the pack please.  Otherwise I look forward to ordering pack 2 once it's back in stock and then working on the projects!

    Great package and price beats scrounging for parts September 29, 2010
    Reviewer: Christopher Dahle from Del Norte, CO United States  
    I muddled through the first couple of chapters of the Make Electronics book by sourcing parts from Mouser, Jameco, Digikey, West Florida Components, Radio Shack, and the pile of junk electronics I have been collecting in my garage. I was able to work through the chapters, but I spent more time hunting down parts than soldering them together.
    I was pleased then that Pack 2 became available just about the time I was ready to finish up with the projects in pack 1.

    In addition to supporting the projects in the book, I found many of the components support the experimenting I am doing with Arduino as well and it comes with bonus stuff they don't mention in the product listing. I'm quite pleased, and also convinced that it saved a small fortune.
