Its versatile track layout is ideal for those new to soldering.
Individually designed projects are easier to make, more likely to work and more manageable to teach.
Supports more creative teaching and learning
- May be used with subsystem designing cards
Requires minimum of components, making stocking cheaper and easier. 
All projects operate from a 9v supply, attached to the board via strain relief holes (see diagram).
True sequential systems approach makes project circuits easier to follow and fault-find, as components are logically positioned and labelled.
Higher success rate when soldering as pads/tracks are generous in area and well spaced.
Supplied ready drilled, tinned + legend + solder resist using quality FR4 board (allows reuse too).
You can model/test/experiment with your circuits first and reduce typical first-time errors by using the identical SmartStart Modelling System. 
PCB: FR4 Board Approx (60 x 40) mm
Pre Drilled, Tinned + Legend, with Solder Resist
Strain relief holes for switch and battery
Pre-drilled mounting holes used to locate board in project housings or stack with PIC project board
All circuits use common 9v supply
(Lower Current Zinc Carbide Battery 9v recommended – not supplied)
Name box allows user-identification of circuit boards to avoid mixups when storing class projects
