| The kits are structured to maintain a high interest level. A few academic sections are needed, but most chapters follow the pattern of: 1) A small amount of theory 2) How it is applied 3) Constructing the circuit 4) Testing the circuit 5) A brief chapter summary Click HERE to view testimonials from some of out students. |

| After some basic electronics theory and practice, ten theory/build teaching modules start with passive components. Next, diodes and transistors are used to build control circuits and an amplifier. The final sections use analog and digital Integrated Circuits (ICs) to teach the basics of working with an operational amplifier and digital logic gates. The knowledge and skills gained in this section are then put to use to build the next, more advanced, LED Array Oscilloscope in Part 2. |

| This kit contains two printed circuit boards, components to build the power supply and the main Signal Generator board (plus spare parts), a piezo speaker, wall-mount transformer, and all instruction on CD. |

Part-2, The LED Array Oscilloscope |
|
An oscilloscope is one of the most useful pieces of electronic test equipment. It allows very high speed electrical signals to be viewed. |
|
||||
| Part-2’s text consists of over 200 pages with 230 illustrations organized into 17 chapters that lead the student step-by-step. Each chapter introduces a new function or component needed to create and then build the basic oscilloscope. New features are then added in succeeding chapters until the LED array oscilloscope is completed and capable of making real measurements. | ||||||||
As the scope is developed, the Signal Generator board from Part-1 is used to provide the test signals to demonstrate the scope’s operation, and to show the need for a new feature that is built in the following chapter.  (Click HERE to see the table of contents)The main display is created from an array of 240 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and provides additional practice for the student to become proficient and confident in soldering skills. |
||||||||
| If Part-2 is purchaseced without Part-1, a separate power supply module kit will be required. (See Below) |

| Part-2, The LED Array Oscilloscope with separate Power Supply
The additional Power Supply kit consists of a printed circuit boards, components, wall transformer module, and printed instruction. |

| In Development: Part 3: Microcomputer Controlled Graphics |
||
| With the addition of a new circuit module containing a Microchip PIC microcomputer, the 240 LED array is reused as a graphics display. The electronic hardware in this section is minimized to demonstrate how a microcomputer can be used to replace hardware with software. Using only software, the display can be reconfigured to become a digital clock/calendar, a scrolling message display, a chart recorder, or video game like Pong. The results of each programming experiment are visual, so motivation is kept high. The student’s imagination can now be applied to create new applications. |

| Taking Ideas into Reality | ||||||||||
Edison was very insightful in his definition of genius. There are lots of good ideas and inspirations, but all by themselves they have little value. It takes effort and insight, tools, materials, and lots of time to bring them into solid existence. Applied Inspirations, LLC was founded to assist in bringing new ideas into physical reality by providing:
