I loved these things, major flashback. I was already on the path, but as a Computer Engineer to be, I gobbled this stuff up!
But also, I confess: I don't feel like I really learned that much from it. I already had a rudimentary Ohms law & binary logic understandings in elementary school, and most of the projects either were obvious from that premise, or were way way above my head & quasi-magical. I loved these things, they were inspirational, but I struggle to recall learning much from them.
- HarHarVeryFunny 3y agoYeah, I had one too, but similar feelings. Enjoyed it, but didn't learn much if anything. Had much more fun later bread-boarding digital circuits as part of comp-sci at uni. Building a traffic light (LED) sequence generator out of flip-flops built from NAND gates was basic but fun!
- FullyFunctional 3y agoThat was exactly my experience as well. I'm not really sure why that was, but I think that the breadboard scaled much farther and could be extended with more of them (mine were interlocking). I built some moderately complex circuits, but debugging them could be fairly tedious.
