This is the same product as our Simon PTH Kit. The difference is this version comes in fancy clamshell packaging meant for our distributors that need it. Regular customers are welcome to order, but we want to limit the amount of extra packaging finding its way into the trash heap.
This is the latest version of our popular through-hole Simon Kit. Weâve made some changes to the board that should make it easier than ever for the beginner to build! All components are through-hole, making this kit a great place to start when youâre learning to solder. When building this kit, youâll have a chance to solder a 28-pin microprocessor, LEDs, battery clips and more.
After you have successfully assembled the kit, you will have a greater knowledge of through-hole soldering and the tools, techniques, and terminology required to populate your own PCB prototype. You will have a development platform with 5 outputs (LEDs and buzzer), 5 inputs (buttons), and serial for debugging. And, of course, youâll have your very own Simon game!
Checkout the assembly instructions - weâre pretty proud of them. The kit even includes batteries! Assembly time varies, but for a true beginner with no soldering experience, the kit can take 20-40 minutes to assemble. A soldering iron and wire cutters are the bare minimum tools required. We scoured the earth and found a really fantastic beginnerâs soldering iron for $10, solder for $2, and wire cutters for $2. We also have a Learn to Solder version of the kit which includes all the tools youâll need!

Note: The video below was made using the older version of out Simon kit, so there are a few components that wonât be in the same place as in your kit, but the parts are still the same so the video should still be helpful.
