RK Education Transistor Switch Projects

This project introduces the transistor switch and is an excellent first electronics/systems and control project for students.

Comprehensive teacher notes are available here.

The project is also excellent for GCSE students as it has been designed with KS4 curriculums in mind. It is a very versatile project and can be used as a moisture sensor, temperature sensor and light sensor. The project has been designed to allow differentiation and has space for up to 5 outputs and a range of inputs including variable resistors.
