Recommendation/warning for #Toronto / #GTHA #electronics / #education types: Sayal Electronics has great deals on #SnapCircuits kits. I was a SnapCircuits reseller and we shifted hundreds of these kits around this time of year.
The warning: many of the kits are now made in #Myanmar, a country with a terrible human rights record.
This is a shame, because although SnapCircuits do look kind of cheap, their design is clever and their instruction manuals are incredible

#SnapCircuits #cake made by @Ksushis and myself (but mostly her) for a kid's birthday. The cake decorations are made from modelling chocolate (cut with 3-printed cookie cutters), things drawn on rice paper, sugar glass, cut up gummy bears, and more. Some of the parts looked better when we first made them but sagged outside in the 90 degree heat before we assembled everything. (#IsItCake or #NailedIt?)

So, my little brother has a #SnapCircuits LED MC module, which has a #PICAXE chip in it. I figured I could just hook it up to a #FTDI TTL-232R-3V3 adapter with the TX and RX logic inverted with FTPROG. However, it looks like the default program on it is using the Serial In port as GPIO? How can I force it to enter "programming mode"? The inverted signal is idle low as far as I understand, so it won't even be able to tell there is something connected?

I bought a slightly used Snap Circuits set and I’m really excited that we’ll be using this with my son’s 2nd grade class for STEM learning!
After Snap Circuits though, what should we move on to? Maybe Scratch programming?
