Hardware

The Playtronix Kit features a carefully curated collection of beginner-friendly electronic components that plug in effortlessly to form working circuits. From simple switches to dynamic motors and sensors, every piece has been selected to help young learners understand how electricity flows and how real-world devices respond to it. By experimenting with lights, sounds, motion, and controls, students get to see the logic of electronics in action—one connection at a time. Whether it’s lighting up an LED with a tact switch or adjusting brightness using a potentiometer, each build turns abstract ideas into hands-on learning. With a modular design that encourages endless tinkering, Playtronix transforms the basics of electronics into an intuitive, creative journey of discovery.

Power Module

1. Power module

The power module supplies and manages power for the entire circuit. It often includes an on/off switch and voltage regulation. Safe, stable, and beginner-friendly, it’s the first step to powering any electronic project reliably.

LDR

2. LDR

The LDR is a special resistor that changes its resistance based on how much light it senses. In bright light, its resistance drops; in darkness, it increases. This behavior makes it ideal for creating light-sensitive systems like automatic night lamps or daylight sensors. It introduces students to real-world sensing and basic automation concepts.

Tact switch

3. Tactile Switch

This is a momentary push-button that completes a circuit only while being pressed. It’s commonly found in reset buttons, calculators, and game controllers. Learners can use it to trigger events like lighting up an LED or playing a sound, making it a great way to introduce interactive inputs in circuits.

Two way switch

4. Two-Way Switch

This switch allows current to flow through one of two different paths. It’s used in applications like stairway lighting—where the same light can be turned on or off from two locations. It helps users understand routing and control of electrical signals.

DIP switch

5. DIP Switch

The DIP switch is a group of tiny toggle switches bundled into one component. It lets users manually change settings like mode selection or device addresses. Common in communication setups or configurable modules, it introduces learners to hardware-level control and binary input systems.

Potentiometer

6. Potentiometer

This is a variable resistor controlled by rotating a knob. As it turns, it changes resistance, letting users adjust brightness, volume, or signal strength. It’s perfect for analog control and teaches students how inputs can vary gradually rather than just on/off.

LED

7. LED (Light Emitting Diode)

An LED lights up when electricity flows through it in the correct direction. Available in many colors and shapes, it serves as a simple and clear indicator of circuit status. It introduces the concept of polarity and offers an immediate visual output in beginner projects.

RGB LED

8. RGB LED

This LED combines red, green, and blue lights to create a wide range of colors. By varying the input, students can learn how mixing colors works digitally. Used in ambient lighting, indicators, and displays, this component opens the door to both coding and creative expression.

Beeper

9. Beeper

Also known as a buzzer, this component produces a tone when powered. It's great for simple alarms, timers, and feedback mechanisms. It teaches users how circuits can communicate through sound, not just visuals.

10. Speaker

The speaker converts electric signals into sound. It can play tones, music, or recorded messages. More advanced than a beeper, it introduces students to the world of analog signals, waveforms, and audio electronics.

11. DC Motor

This motor turns electrical energy into mechanical rotation. It can spin wheels, fans, or even toys. By controlling its speed and direction, students learn about motion, power consumption, and mechanical design—key foundations in robotics and automation.

Propeller

12. Propeller

When attached to a DC motor, the propeller spins and creates airflow. It’s a simple but powerful visual tool to demonstrate motion, force, and energy conversion. Often used in mini-fans or hovercrafts, it brings physical effects into electronics learning.

100Ω Resistor

1kΩ Resistor

13. 100Ω Resistor

The 100Ω resistor limits small amounts of current—perfect for protecting delicate components like LEDs. It ensures just enough power flows without damaging circuits, making it great for basic current control in simple builds.

14.1kΩ Resistor

Also called a 1kΩ resistor, this is ideal for slightly higher resistance needs. Often used in sensor circuits, it helps with signal conditioning and is perfect for adjusting input/output sensitivity.

10kΩ Resistor

15.10kΩ Resistor

The 10kΩ resistor is a high-resistance component used in pull-up/pull-down configurations and analog circuits. It’s essential in many sensor applications and helps with stable signal readings.

Capacitor

16. 100µF Capacitors

This small capacitor stores a modest amount of energy and is typically used in timing circuits, signal smoothing, or quick power bursts. It’s great for experiments that involve small delays or decoupling.

17. 100µF Capacitors

A larger capacitor used in circuits requiring more energy storage. Perfect for power stabilization, filtering, and reducing voltage drops in motor-driven or high-load applications.

Diode

18. Diodes

Diodes let current flow in only one direction, preventing reverse flow that can damage components. They’re used in power supplies and logic circuits. Learners explore protection mechanisms and the idea of “electrical traffic rules.”

19. Transistors

These tiny but powerful components work as switches or amplifiers. They’re the backbone of modern electronics, from logic gates to audio circuits. Students can use them to control larger currents with small inputs, enabling automation and signal control.

Timer IC

20. Timer IC (555 Timer)

The 555 timer is a famous chip used for generating time delays, pulses, or oscillations. It can blink LEDs, trigger alarms, or create sound patterns. This IC introduces learners to timing logic and how electronics can “think” in time.

Junction

21. Junction

A junction is a connection point where wires or modules meet. It distributes signals to multiple outputs from a single input, helping build cleaner and more complex circuits. It's like an electrical crossroad for expanding designs.

Jumper Cables

22. Jumper Cables

Flexible wires used to connect parts of a circuit, especially in breadboarding. They’re essential for quick experimentation and prototyping, helping learners test and revise circuits without permanent wiring.
