Remember#

  1. Read the instructions twice, even if you have a good deal of Electronics experience.

  2. To check the contents of the kit, use a piece of polystyrene to place the components in by sticking the leads into the surface

  3. Prepare your work area, keep it clean and well organized.

  4. Follow the instructions in the written sequence.

  5. Test the finished kit by following the instructions.

  6. In case the kit does not work for you, ask YooFab™. Do not just give up!

History of Solderless Electronic Kits

  1. It is interesting to note that many top senior Electronic design engineers first started-out with one of these Solderless Kits.

  2. The best thing about these kits, was the ability to create many circuits simply by connecting cables using springs.

  3. 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.

  4. Phillips pioneered these kits. However, they are no longer in production.

  5. An Electronics design engineer is responsible for designing electronic materials and equipment to support various industrial operations and marketing processes.

  6. 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.
