Excellent way to practice soldering
What's weird is that the outermost ring of lights (the furthest one from the center on each line) only light up on alternate cycles. When I power it on, everything works exactly as intended for one cycle, including those outermost lights. On the second cycle, everything works perfectly except those lights. They light up on the third cycle, fifth, etc. They don't look brighter or dimmer, they don't flicker weirdly, and they don't do anything else to indicate that anything is wrong with the board, the components, or my soldering job. So I guess there's something wrong with one of the ICs, either the IC itself or my soldering. Anyway, even if I was shipped a faulty IC and I technically received a faulty product (although I'm inclined to believe that it's my fault, or the IC was damaged in shipping), it's still a 5 star product. I got the soldering practice, I powered on the device, it confirmed that all my "joins" or whatever were good (except maybe on one of the ICs, if that is indeed the cause of the odd behavior). Great stuff. Also, the instructions could be a little more verbose. I did watch some YouTube videos to get everything figured out. But that's fine.

Quick, fun build. Use it to learn how to use your oscilloscope.
This was, yes great "Gik" fun to make. A project for me to remind myself of long-lost soldering skills, as a warmup to that analogue synth I've been planning to build for over 30 years! The little device itself is fun, and it can be used as a source for learning or practicing on the oscilloscope.

Great practice kit
It’s a pretty straightforward kit,, instructions are easy to follow and took me about 4hrs to complete. It worked first time and none of the components were damaged

Very good kit
This is a well put together kit with a good printed layout to work from The parts are listed at one side and properly noted on the photo reproductions of the printed circuit boards The circuit is relatively simple and as printed on the sheet very easy to follow I should note that there must have been a change in the design as there were more LEDs than were actually required by the design
