Wow! I just got recommended this channel and what great timing! I'm also a self-taught EE undergrad, and I was lucky enough to get my hands on an old 1970s DIY electronics kit. I also grew up with RadioShack in my hometown, and Forest M Mimms led my learning experience. Glad to see this kit becoming available for curious minds, there's a huge lack of this available online right now. I've already subscribed and I'm excited to see where this goes! Let me know if there's any way I can contribute, I always appreciate paying it forward :)

Remember watching your videos a few years back, and finally seeing this kit pop up on my feed. Definitely would have loved buying something like this when I first got into electronics.

hey man, ECE student from Northeastern here and just wanted to say how incredible you are. Love your work -- love the passion, drive, and energy you have for everything you share in these videos bro -- Super inspiring! keep killing it and I look forward to keep supporting you along this journey. Even I am learning things from you that my professor's never went over :)

Thank you!

I was super happy watching this video. When I outgrew my Lego mindstorms kit and wanted to enter the world of electronics, I didn't have any guidance. no radioshack or other cool stores in India that gave out kits. Whenever I tried to learn electronics from youtube, it was either way to complex(taught with engineering level math) or not taught properly, so I ended up floating about aimlessly for years before I could do real circuit work. It worked out in the end; I did learn a lot, and im even studying Computer Engineering in college rn, but i'm glad that a lotta young curious minds will have such a great resource like this in the future! :)

Great job! The kit looks awesome. I'm really looking forward to testing it out. I'm in Australia. Please let me know when you have it available for international shipping!

next paycheck! I wanna learn to engineer electronic instruments! Gotta start somewhere and I love your suggestions! Really seem to come from a place of self-teaching and understanding! Thanks for this.

Thank you for doing this. I will be getting one for my grandson.

Great stuff! Keep it up👍

Can’t wait for the release!

Just bought the kit! I’m trying to remove some of the mystery of the schematic and how all the components work on a board so this is perfect. And I’m trying to learn this stuff so I can fix up older electronics, not computers so this is great. Thanks for putting it together!

@@Joe-up8le it was $84 w/ tax. It helped me get more comfortable with schematics. It didn’t hand hold though, and the book had some diagrams that were not accurate. Luckily I had some testing equipment that allowed me to discover that. Still, even with those issues, it was a great learning experience.

@@amrench Oh ok, thank you for responding. :)

I just ran across your channel today and immediately grabbed my kids (14 & 16) and asked if they'd be interested in learning this and BOTH of them said yes and seemed very excited. Sucks that they won't ship until next year, though. But I will be adding this to our 'get' list and will purchase your kit. And now I feel like a kid because I want to start learning this too, though mine will be for projects for an Escape Room. I realize I can buy Arduinos and get started that way but I'd much rather come at an Arduino with at least a basic understanding of what it's doing and why, than to just get one and program something. It would be very cool if I could eventually create my own circuit boards for projects. Very cool.

Congratulations !! Great Videos

Actually looks pretty interesting. I already have all the parts though, I'd be happy with access to only the booklet. Very curious about your explanations, you seem like you could strengthen my understanding of the basics. If you need anyone to proof read or volunteer, I'd be happy to do it for access to the booklet :)

It's really helpful👍

Already pre-ordered. Can't wait to get this kit!

Im going to order it soon for my birthday 😊

Would be nice if one could buy the booklet as an e book as well since some people, including me, already have a lot of these components at home.

I just looked, when will this product be available again?

Will you be shipping to Canada?

Hi Ahkeel, just found this channel by accident. This seems to be a great starting point for electronics. I wanted to get hands-on with The AM Tech Introduction to Electronics Kit. But unfortunately, there is no way to get my hands on it, cause I'm based in Germany. Can you make this happen? Thanks Frank

Thanks

Hello! I'm an Argentine software developer and I want to get into electronics, however, our government has banned imports unless you're an official business with imports permit. I'd love to follow along in this starter kit for electronics though, is there a way to purchase a digital version of the booklet? I'd love to get my hands on it and finally be able to learn the basics of electronics

are you still selling these? The link in your website took me to Amazon and it said they are currently available. Beautiful website btw.

So just in time. so on board.

Any alternatives? Not available right now

Since I already have the components shown in the box, can I simply buy the book instead of the whole kit?

Any plan to do one of those for adults who would like to learn electronics gear towards music?

Nice thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks good but its a long wait so will probably look for something else

Hello! I just got my kit I read the first pages of the booklet and was just going to do the project 1 but behind the breadboard seems to be a sticker and in the box is a metal panel could you explain what the panel is for? Thank you!

@TheAMTech_Official

The metal shield is not necessary but can be used to give the breadboard more mechanical stability. You can stick the metal panel to the breadboard’s adhesive back, which can be exposed by peeling off the paper layer.

Hi Daniel! It’s possible the mic got damaged in shipping, however the components we sourced were pretty robust, so I would double check your Pin-by-Pin connections as well as the orientation of your mic (it’s a polarized component). Let me know how it goes. Thanks so much for your support!

I LOVE this kit and want it badly. But $73??? For a kit with, looks like maybe $15 worth of components, and zero goodies like microcontrollers, sensors, etc. that come in a $30 kit? That's probably a non-starter for most of your potential market. I understand that the book is the real value here. I'd probably pay a considerable sum just for that (but not $73), and then buy components from aliexpress as needed. Anyways, great job, keep up the good fight.
