Q:
what age is the product recommended for?
A:
Hi Aggi, The kit is aimed at Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 students, so students 11 years and older. That being said if the child was competent or a suitable adult was present there wouldnb't be a reason why someone younger couldnb't built the kit.

Is it possible to buy spare pre-programmable chips in case of damage etc. to the chips supplied with the kit.

Many thanks.
Asked by: Charles Webster
A:
Hi Charles, It is possible to order the pre-programmed IC, however due to the nature of the product it isn't available via the website and is only available for schools. As such orders for this must be placed via a purchase order with the code PIC2109.

Q:
price per part should be included
Asked by: bob
A:
All kits list the parts used in them, but as we don't sell the PCB or the pre-programmed chips separately there is not the option to buy all the parts needed for the kit. The parts are listed so that people know exactly what they are getting in the kit.
