Set classroom design challenges and test outcomes with fun timed racing activities using the Kitronik Timed Drag Racer Module. Assemble the kit, create a chassis, and race competitively.This module combines electronics and design in an engaging hands-on exercise. It includes a pre-built motor driver and timer module, a low-torque flat DC motor, an AA battery holder, a motor pulley, and a 10nF capacitor for noise suppression. The battery holder and motor require soldering to the PCB, along with the capacitor soldered across the motor terminals.The board features a push button that runs the attached motor for 5 seconds when pressed. Additionally, button expansion pads allow mounting an external push button. The operating voltage ranges from 2.5V to 3.0V with a typical current draw of 220mA during motor operation. The typical battery life with 2 x AA batteries is approximately 2000 button presses.Features include: Combine electronics and design in a fun, educational setting. Build the kit, design and create chassis and wheels, then test and race to evaluate designs. Push button activates motor for 5 seconds; expansion pads allow remote button connection. Operating voltage between 2.5V and 3.0V. Typical current draw: 220mA during motor operation. Approximate battery life: 2000 button presses using 2 x AA batteries. Contents: 1 x Kitronik Timed Drag Racer Board (pre-built) 1 x Low torque flat DC motor 1 x AA battery holder with color-coded leads 1 x Ceramic Capacitor 10nF 1 x Motor Pulley Note: Some soldering is required to attach the battery holder, motor, and capacitor.
