This video provides a step-by-step guide on how to assemble Jaycar’s JIMINI THE CRICKET DIY KIT, featured in PROJECT SC2 #14.
The assembly process for this kit takes approximately 30 minutes. Designed as a sound sensor, the kit is both fun and educational. When a noise or sound is detected near the electret microphone, the circuit activates, causing two LEDs to light up and a chirp sound to be emitted from the small speaker. The kit is highly sensitive to noise and other ambient sounds, making it an engaging project for electronics enthusiasts.
Ideal for beginners in electronics, this kit is incredibly easy to assemble and provides a hands-on learning experience.
