Description
 
The Larson Scanner is named after Glen A. Larson, the man responsible for producing the original Battlestar Galactica and Knight Rider television shows.

The kit is very easy to build, and includes a preprogrammed microcontroller, battery holder, and nine ultrabright red LEDs. Once you've built it, you'll have a beautiful back-and-forth scanning red light, ready for incorporation into various sci-fi props, costumes, and pumpkins.

Basic electronic soldering skill is required, and you provide standard soldering tools (not included): a soldering iron and solder, and small "flush" wire clippers. No additional knowledge of electronics is presumed or required -- and no programming is required either!

Great First Kit July 24, 2011
Reviewer: Silver Surfer from Arlington, TX United States  
This was my first kit I ever put together, and it fun!  It's pretty simple to soldier, and even has extra LEDs & resistors in case you mess one up.  I've had it going non-stop for about a week, and it shows no signs of stopping.  You can use this in many different places, I put mine in the front bay on my computer.  Gives my PC that evil Cylon feel.

Excellent first-time solder project September 30, 2010
Reviewer: Eric Burdo from Hermon, ME United States  
I bought this as a fun learning project (learning to solder).  Went together easy... had all the parts, and worked the first time.  What more can I ask for?

Missing components. December 24, 2009
Reviewer: greyDrifter from Sinking Spring, PA United States  
Arrived and parts inventoried.
Missing nine 16 ohm resistors.

The directions are understandably for a young one.  And the board has a few extra features.
