Microcontroller & Breadboard
NodeMCU Microcontroller
The NodeMCU Microcontroller is a single core 80MHz ESP8266 microcontroller with integrated WiFi. You can easily program it using the Arduino IDE and its many libraries. Another popular option is running MicroPython on the microcontroller, though this is an advanced usecase.
Please see the NodeMCU Section for more information.

Breadboard
This breadboard may be used to prototype your designs without soldering. It contains multiple power and signal strips that can be used to connect components. Click the buttons below to see the layout of the strips and an example of a circuit. The breadboard comes with a bundle of wires and clips.
The breadboard does not come with the plugs installed and without the feet in place. The feet can be placed on the bottom with the pre-applied glue. You will also have to assemble the banana plugs yourselves, but this is very simple.

Breadboard Powersupply
This miniature power supply is designed to plug into the power lanes of your breadboard. A 12V 1A DC adapter is provided to be used with this power supply. The supply can provide either 5V or 3.3V to the power lanes of your breadboard. It also features a USB port that provides 5V to any USB device. Click the button below to see which part does what and how to set the voltages.
Physical Layout
Power Converter 15V
This power converter converts 5V into +/- 15V. This allows you to use opamps without biasing your input signals to a level between V+ and GND. Please note that this converter can only supply 50mA to your project! The pinouts can be found in the datasheet below.

STORES Prototype Board
This prototype board is a great tool to solder your designs using through-hole components. Solder your components by inserting them through the holes, and solder them to the copper pads on the bottom. Bridge the pads to make connections to other components and build your design!
This design allows you to split the PCB in 4 pieces by breaking them along the scored lines.
Solid Clad Copper PCB
This copper clad PCB is a PCB with a solid copper layer. This PCB can and will be used as a ground plane for RF circuits in the third module. It can also be used to etch a PCB design into.
