Circuit Skills: Easy LED Color Organ Kit

Building on the success of one of the most popular kits at Jameco, we've added an easy to solder (beginner) version that just about anyone can assemble. The original LED Color Organ came with a blank prototyping board and all the components, but the component placement and layout was up to your creativity to design.

We've made an easier version that tells you exactly where to place each component. All you have to do is solder. This version of the kit comes with all the same components except for the new PCB which has labeled positions for the components. Just follow the step-by-step instructions, and you'll be flashing to the beat in no time. The instructions are included with the kit but can also be found near the top of this page.

Visit the Jameco workshop page for the original build, and check out the video while you're there.
