KITRONIK 555 Timer Astable Tone Generator Kit
Educational astable tone generator kit for GCSE students, featuring adjustable 555 timer circuits & speaker outputs.
The KITRONIK 555 Timer Astable Tone Generator Kit is an excellent educational tool designed specifically for GCSE students who need to explore the functionalities of a 555 timer in astable mode. This mode produces a square wave output with an adjustable frequency, controlled via the included variable resistor. The kit offers versatile output options, allowing users to connect either a logic output to drive another IC or a speaker to emit audible tones, making it ideal for applications like doorbells.
Included with the kit is everything needed to get started:
- 1 x 555 timer IC
- 1 x 8-pin IC holder
- 1 x 3.3Kohm resistor
- 1 x 10Kohm resistor
- 1 x 47Kohm potentiometer (variable resistor)
- 2 x 10nF ceramic capacitors
- 1 x BC547 NPN transistor
- 1 x push-to-make switch
- 1 x PP3 clip lead
- 1 x 3AA battery holder
- 0.5m connecting wire
- 1 x tone generator PCB
Note: This kit requires 3x AA batteries (not included), and depending on usage, a speaker may be necessary for audible output.
This hands-on learning tool bridges theoretical electronics concepts with practical application, making it an invaluable resource for students and hobbyists alike.
