This set has everything that's needed to match the experiments in the Make: Electronics 3rd Edition book. Everything is clearly labeled and arrived in good shape. I had a question about the product and received a prompt and helpful response from the seller. I will definitely be purchasing my next kit through this company.

Ordered this kit a few weeks ago, finally found time to open it up and take a look. I previously bought the 2nd edition of the Platt book, and was just about to order the kits for that book. And then, the third edition came out! I figured if I was going to get the new book, I might as well get the parts kit for it! All of the parts come in a single plastic double sided storage tote, and, except for a few minor items, contains all of the parts needed for the projects in the book, including an Arduino board. Everything in the tote is labeled, and the smaller parts are in labeled zip-lock baggies, making it very easy to find the parts needed for a build. It's wonderful that ProTechTrader put these together for the book - save time and money not having to hunt down all the components by hand, especially considering there are very few local electronics stores left. I'm just starting through the book, and so far everything needed for the experiments are in the kit. I had a basic electronics course back in high school, and I'm using this kit as a refresher, and a chance to learn more "modern" electronics. While that course was heavy on formulas and calculations, this set is more of a hands on approach, with just enough formulas and theory to understand the topics. So far, it's been a fun journey working with the book and the kit. For me it will likely take about six months to work through all the material at the pace I'm going. I've worked with Arduino boards before, however, have not done much with additional electronics with them - can't wait! There are a couple things I recommend for this kit though. First, I would get a good pair of wire cutters / strippers - will come in very handy. And second - make sure all of the latches on the tote are properly latched before picking it up! I found that having an additional parts box to put components in while I working with them comes in handy. Overall, the combination of a suburb book combined with this well designed and stock kit makes an impressive introduction to modern electronics, and an even better refresher course.

IMHO, this kit is essential to do the exercises in SECTIONS 1-3 of the book Make: Electronics 3rd edition. This kit does not cover components neded for sections 4&5. If you are serious about learning electronics and can afford a deluxe kit, you will be doing yourself a favor by getting a kit that covers the whole book.

Pro Tech Trader is a great vendor for this product. I received my order in a timely fashion and they have excellent customer service via email. I expect to buy other products from them in the future.

I was beyond excited when I saw that my kit 1 economy was delivered! When I opened it it I was shocked and amazed to find so a well organized kit. The labeling of the components is really going to come in handy when I start building and experimenting. Not to mention I can't wait to do! This small business has great quality kits for great prices. Will definitely be ordering from ProTechTrader again. Thank you to the PTT team for making such a fun hand made activity!

All the components were individually packaged and well-marked. Looking forward to completing the associated projects.
