How to build your YooFab™ Electronic kit#
Remember#
-
Read the instructions twice, even if you have a good deal of Electronics experience.
-
To check the contents of the kit, use a piece of polystyrene to place the components in by sticking the leads into the surface
-
Prepare your work area, keep it clean and well organized.
-
Follow the instructions in the written sequence.
-
Test the finished kit by following the instructions.
-
In case the kit does not work for you, ask YooFab™. Do not just give up!

History of Solderless Electronic Kits
-
It is interesting to note that many top senior Electronic design engineers first started-out with one of these Solderless Kits.
-
The best thing about these kits, was the ability to create many circuits simply by connecting cables using springs.
-
YooFab™ aims to reproduce the ease-of-use that was afforded by those early Solderless Electronic Kits. This, in the sense that once built, modules may be connected to create a multitude of functionality.
-
Phillips pioneered these kits. However, they are no longer in production.
-
An Electronics design engineer is responsible for designing electronic materials and equipment to support various industrial operations and marketing processes.
-
Electronics design engineers develop Circuit Schematics, PCB layouts and may indulge in firmware writing; this is all according to a requirements’ specification which may have to be modified by the designer. The job also involves including the budget limitations and timeframes.
