## Description

Build your own electronic circuits with the Electronics Learning Lab. It has over 200 projects that teach you about transistors, diodes, capacitors, oscillators, electronics circuits and schematic symbols. Plus, it has light-emitting diodes, an LED display and an analog panel meter that gives more visual options when building projects. Easy circuit connectors allow you to test project connections Light-emitting diodes and LED display Switches, push buttons and volume control add more options to projects Analog panel meter show project levels 69 contact springs for easy connections Battery compartment for AA cells and 9-volt battery (batteries not included) Sets of ICs, resistors, capacitors, diodes and transistors Speaker and piezoelectric buzzer element and a relay and transforme

Review: Good learning lab; Great electronic development board - This review is for the Radio Shack (28-280) Electronics Learning Lab; bought at desertcart. This is a great product for introducing your daughter (or son) into the electronic world. The lab has a bread board circuit design center which is how an electronics expert would set up a circuit design. It also has a lot of "support" items like switches, LED's (indicator lights), variable resistors, a speaker, a meter built in a plastic board (box?) so that it doesn't "hang by the board". The books, that come with the Lab, are top notch and take you through assembling your first circuit. You will notice that the actual resisters, capacitors, transistors and integrated chips are just like you would buy from a store; so replacements are easy. I also recommend this Lab for electronic hobby use. for 40 dollars (USD) you have a very inexpensive bread board platform. You also have lots of parts to start off with. You could buy the next higher up model (300 in 1) from desertcart but there is only 1/3 more experiments for 2 1/2 times the price.
Review: Nice learning tool - I am starting to learn electronics, and this seems like it has all the basics covered. It comes with the main board (which has quite a lot to it), a lot of separate pieces (many wires, capacitors, resistors, and ICs) and a learning booklet. The reason it gets a 4 instead of 5 is for the booklet. While the step-by-step instructions seem pretty easy, there is not enough explanation or illustration for me. Overall, I'd recommend this product for those getting into electronics.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Bought kit at going-out-of-business sale of R/S some time ago. Don't remember if manuals came with it.  Can you give the exact names of manuals.**
A: Basic electronics transistors and integrated circuits workbook 1 by Forrest Mims and digital logic projects workbook 11 by Forrest Mims

**Q: How does the 28-280 compare to the 20-055?**
A: It's the same thing. Probably different company's

**Q: Can you tell me what type of mosfet (a.k.a. "power fet") is included in this kit? mine is missing and i can't find the info in the manual. thanks!**
A: There’s a lot of parts included.  Among them:  (2) IRF 6308 power MOSFET

**Q: is this a complete kit?**
A: The kit I received appeared complete.

### ⭐⭐ Not as expected.
*by A***R on February 29, 2016*

Incomplete.had to purchase parts. Wiring still on breadboard was only a minor inconvenience but missing parts were a major hassle. Especially difficult for a beginning learner to figure out what was missing.
