Product description
Impress your friends with this geeky watch! The Binary-Watch displays hours, minutes, day, and month in binary format. This is a DIY kit designed to practice SMD hand soldering - a perfect way to learn how to solder various types of SMD components.
The kit includes a PCB, wristband, quartz crystal, PIC16 microcontroller with preloaded software, 0603 components, and a CR2032 PCB-mounted battery holder (battery not included).
Note that soldering 0603 components by hand is a real challenge. If you succeed, you'll have a fun and clever wristwatch that tells time in binary. Next step? Get fast at binary mental math!
For best results when soldering SMD, the following tools are recommended:
- A soldering iron with a fine tip
- Thin solder wire (ideally 0.6 mm or thinner)
- Flux
- Precision tweezers
- Magnifying lamp with good lighting
- And most importantly – patience
Please note: This kit is not for everyone. It cannot be returned once started. If you're unsure about your soldering skills, we recommend starting with SMD soldering practice kit 41022407.
