Particularly useful for i2c testing.

For SC407 I2C Switches and Lights Module Kit

I've used this module with multiple devices both in and outside of the 8-bit computing space to test and verify i2c-connectivity and correctness. It's a very useful tool and can provide GPIOs and press button commands over i2c on any compatible platform.

This one is very affordable, very quick to build, and quite fun to put together (something about the lights and switches modules always make them particularly fun to solder together and I could not tell you why.)

Even if you aren't using SCC computers or other 8-bit designs, this little gadget is good to have on hand. It would be an excellent first-solder project kit for anyone new to it. This is true of most designs sold here, but this kit would be particularly accessible to children as it is quite simple and the switches hold themselves in pretty well during soldering.

I could imagine distributing these to a class alongside some arduino or adafruit project to teach kids how to both solder and then control the lights over i2c.

Very fun project to build and explore

For SC131 Pocket-sized Z180 RomWBW CP/M computer kit

I purchased this set about a week ago. Delivery was fast and it is a very fun project to assemble. It took me about 4 hours to put it together. After starting up, it turned out that there were already more than expected programs on the ROM.

The only thing that disappointed me a bit is that the SD card interface does not sit comfortably in the box, so in the end I mounted it without a socket, just soldered the pins directly to the PCB. Then it straightens and fits properly into the housing.

What I also wondered, there is no SD card included, is there a link somewhere where you can download an image with programs, otherwise I don't really understand the usefulness of the SD card.

This set is highly recommended, but not for the beginner.

Great all round experience

For SC131 Pocket-sized Z180 RomWBW CP/M computer kit

Kit was delivered promptly, comms were great and the instructions were straight forward and clear with checks as you progress to ensure everything is correct. I highly recommend, assembled and working in under 3 hours despite my very rusty soldering skills.

Great Project kit!

For SC114 RCBus-40pin Z80 SBC/Motherboard Kit

I purchased this Kit for a bit of nostalgia as my father and I put together a kit form Z80 computer in the garage in the early 80's (Dick Smith Super 80 kit in Australia). This kit brought back many fond memories of learning to solder properly and then programming my first BASIC programs. The kit was very easy to put together and worked first time, (unlike the earlier kit that had to go in for repair and mods to function :-) ). I am very happy with this product and am now going to buy more cards to add to its functionality and fun. Great job!!

Easy kit to build, good instructions, great fun to play with

For SC131 Pocket-sized Z180 RomWBW CP/M computer kit

This review is a bit overdue, but better late than never.
I've ordered several kits from SC, but this was the first I built.
Kit is well packaged, parts easy to sort out and instructions excellent.
I ran into a problem with a cold solder, but managed to figure out the approximate whereabouts on the PCB and after that it was a breeze.
Kit works as advertised and I am really impressed at the !/$ factor.
