Rough comparisons with other materials in this library — not measured specs. Cost is relative only; no prices have been checked.

Strengths

  • Cheap, low power

Limitations

  • Need correct resistor values

How it's worked

Methods: Breadboarding, Soldering

Typical tools: Breadboard, Multimeter, Soldering iron

Safety

Low voltage only; soldering fumes need ventilation.

Environmental notes

E-waste.
