GCSE ELECTRONIC PROJECTS
|
| All these projects have circuits that have been built and tested by students and submitted as part of their GCSE Electronic Products coursework.
PCB's are included showing track layouts the correct size ready for photocopying onto acetate for PCB photo-etch production. Some projects have kits and PCB's available if you do not have photo-etching facilities.
|
|
Component layouts and lists are included so creating the circuit and soldering parts should be a piece of cake.There are photographs of completed projects showing how the circuit has been applied and the cases students have designed for their projects. Your case design is up to you!
If you have any problems with these, email us and we shall do our best to help.

|
|
|
| * Easy, very little wiring and no setting up required |
You will need a pdf reader for most of the downloads
. 
|
| ** Intermediate, may require careful wiring and some setting up of the circuit |
| *** Advanced, will involve setting up using test equipment and programming of a PIC micro-controller |
|
|
|
|
| IMPORTANT |
- Please read Hints & Tips page before you begin constructing any PCB.
- If you download any PCB diagrams, do not resize them. They have been reproduced to scale so any resizing will cause some components not to fit your board. Always check components like IC's and presets against PCB track printouts to ensure they have be reproduced to the correct size.
