10 Brilliant Soldering Kits for STEAM Education You Can't Miss

Hi PCBWayers, summer holiday is coming. I have been chosen 10 cute badges from Shared Projects. There are all attractive to children. Hope soldering these badges can bring you happy and meaningful parent-child time~ Also, mastering certain soldering kit skill will help teenagers learn electronic technology better and enhance their hands-on skills. It’s an important part of STEAM education.
Let’s get to see them!
“Gold Award of the I CAN SOLDER KIT 2019”
This is a simple circuit to show how to turn on an LED and use it as a flashlight.

"Silver Award of the I CAN SOLDER KIT 2019"
It not using obviously self-flashing led but old good astable multivibrator. 
It is a nice piece of old fashion technology.

“BRONZE AWARD of the I CAN SOLDER KIT 2019”
 Look how little you can solder with this SMD challenge. 
 Test your skills and beat the 0402 components.

An easy to solder kit in the shape of a mermaid with LEDs in her hair and powered by a CR2032 coin cell. Any through-hole 3mm or 5mm LEDs with a forward voltage of less than 3V will work. Colour-cycling LEDs look particularly good!

6.  SakuraDoll
This Sakura Doll is designed to start your SMD soldering adventure beautifully. All passive components are 0805 in size. The SOT363 package of NL27WZ04 may be a bit challenging. With a fine-tip solder iron and steady hands, it is not difficult to make it blinking.

This is a cute alpaca badge that uses a color-changing RGB LED, a battery holder and a slide switch. It has two sewing hooks on the back so it can be easily attached to clothes or bags using a safety pin.

This board is created in the shape of a little happy dog, to estimulate the users to have real experience and have fun activities. Now, you can have your board and kid with your imagination and Arduino Projects.

This simple badge will help you learn to solder using a fundamental electrical circuit with the schematic right on the PCB!

This is the Albuquerque Mini-Maker Faire Soldering Kit from 2016. It's inspired by the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, which is where the Maker Faire Happens to take place (at the Balloon Museum).

Generate Gerber files in Eagle

Image
1. Generating Drill Files To create a Gerber file in Eagle, you should run the drillcfg command first: File -->Run ULP -->  the pop-up "Drill Configuration" dialog box and click the "OK" button to generate the corresponding drill configuration file. 2. Generating Gerber Files Open the .brd file, and then  the "File" menu to open the "CAM Processor" dialog box. In the "CAM Processor" dialog box, select "File" -> "Open" -> "Job ..." command, open the "Open CAM Job" dialog box, select the "excellentone.cam" and click "Open" button. After loading it, click the "Process Job" command to generate the corresponding drill file: In the "CAM Processor" dialog box, select "File" -> "Open" -> "Job ..." command, open the "Open CAM Job" dialog box, select one of the "gerb274x.c...

A Powerful 30A DC Motor Driver using Power Mosfets [PWM Controlled, Half Bridge]

Image
By Hesam Moshiri, Anson Bao DC motors are everywhere, from hobby applications to robotics and industrial areas. Therefore there is wide usage and request for suitable and powerful DC motor drivers. In this article, we will learn to build one. You can control it using a Microcontroller, an Arduino, a Raspberry Pi or even a standalone PWM generator chip. By using a proper heatsink and cooling methods, this circuit can handle currents up to 30A. [1]: Circuit Analysis The heart of the circuit is an IR2104 MOSFET driver chip [1]. It is a popular and applicable MOSFET driver IC. The schematic diagram of the circuit demonstrated in figure-1.  Figure-1 The schematic diagram of the powerful DC motor driver According to the IR2104 datasheet [1]: ”The IR2104(S) are high voltage, high-speed power MOSFET and IGBT drivers with dependent high and low side referenced output channels. Proprietary HVIC and latch immune CMOS technologies enable ruggedized monolithic constructio...

Generate gerber file from Altium

Image
Step1: The work before generate the Gerber file  Before generate Gerber file, you need to set criteria, but for most of PCB designers, these are not necessarily. The following is a brief explanation of these settings, You can also ignore these setting when generate Gerber file.  1. The settings of PCB shape and size, generally are mechanic1,2 layers. 2. Before generate the Gerber file, the preprocessed of PCB file. The preprocessed include: a. Add break away rails of PCB b. Add stamp hole. c. Add the machine jack. d. Add mouting hole e. Add drilling descript_ion. f. Add dimension descript_ion. g. Set the origin Step2: Generate Gerber file 1. Open the Gerber Files. Step1: The work before generate the Gerber file  Before generate Gerber file, you need to set criteria, but for most of PCB designers, these are not necessarily. The following is a brief explanation of these settings, You can also ignore these setting when generate Gerber file.  1...
