       | You can easily build some of these circuits with very low
       | investment. The ICs (555; 4017; ...) for circuits like the "LED
       | sequencers" are very cheap (less than $1/1EUR each). With ICs in
       | DIP packages [0], the circuits can be built on breadboards [1]
       | since the pins can be inserted directly into the holes of the
       | breadboards. If you are new to this then you can find an overview
       | of electronic symbols in Wikipedia [2] for example - this is
       | helpful because it gives you names and terms to search for.
       | 
       | Having even a cheap multimeter to measure voltages, resistances
       | or the polarity of diodes is better than nothing btw (but better
       | don't use these to measure line/mains power - even if they claim
       | to be able to do that).

       | Have fun!

       | I don't even like building this kind of pure analog stuff, but
       | this retro site is just such a wonderful thing. Just like the
       | days when tech was still exciting, despite being so much more
       | primitive.
