Programmable music box kit

The music box has a micro switch used to start the music when the box lid is opened, or can be triggered by a passing coin in to a money box. The kit can be used with your choice of 8 pin PIC processor and flowchart software. A simple programming task allows the student to play a tune of their choice when the switch it activated. The kit is compatible with most educational PICs & software. Programming is via a 3.5mm jack interface. Processor not included.
