JCBman   10 #1 Posted March 14, 2016 Here`s one to make you smile, but I thought I would ask anyway.  I don`t have any experience in electronics and I know absolutely nothing about them. However, I thought I might help my teenage grandson get interested in electronics so I purchased a self build digital clock from a Chinese source found on E/Bay for about a fiver. And yes, the instructions are extremely minimal and of course written in Chinese. Even though I have a nice new magnifying glass to view all these tiny parts I haven`t got a clue how to begin to assemble it.  So my question is, is there a supplier of DIY electronic kits with comprehensive instructions written in English?  Many thanks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Chez2 Â Â 10 #2 Posted March 14, 2016 Email them and see if they can supply instructions in English. Â My hubby used Maplins. Have a look if they do anything to suit in the gadgets, toys & hobbies section: Â http://www.maplin.co.uk/?cmpid=ppc&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Bing%20-%20B%2FCatch%2FBMM&utm_term=%2Bmaplin&utm_content=B%2FMaplin%2B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
JCBman   10 #3 Posted March 14, 2016 To Chez2 Thank you for your reply. Yep ! Maplins of course, opposite the Town Hall and there`s one at Crystal Peaks retail too. Good idea. So that`s what I`ll do, try Maplins. Many thanks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
