RK Education SCR / Thyristor Projects

<P>This project introduces latching circuits and also other important concepts including different ways of triggering and resetting circuits. There are a number of possible outcomes for the circuit including electronic alarms, an electronic money box, a target game and a steady-hand game. </P>

Different trigger inputs can be used
Different resets can be used
Space for up to 3 outputs
