EC1204 Digital Clock Kit Assembly PART #5 SMD Capacitors. Another addition to my series of cheap eBay electronic projects. This one will take a bit longer as it has more parts and uses surface mount components so that will be a new learning curve for me. I have split the video into 12 episodes PLUS the full unedited video of nearly 3 hours PLUS a SHORTENED video played at 60 x SPEED so it looks like a Time Lapse video and lasts less than 3 minutes.

I revisited this project because several of the LEDs have failed so there will be a new video in the playlist. I looked on Amazon for a new kit for people who had expressed an interest and I found this one https://amzn.to/3kbcxBf (This is an affiliate link which might generate an income for me at no extra cost to you)

I am not endorsing these products so I suggest you do your own search as the prices and specifications will vary and the links I used will probably be out of date when you come to read this. I list the item title and you can cut and paste it into your eBay search. It will probably work on other online stores too.

There were no instructions in the package and none shown on the eBay advert but a quick search found this PDF http://www.vanallesenmeer.nl/Files/2/38000/38789/Attachments/Product/455639x2a87V101U0C616I08210491f8.pdf

flyingm1 originally suggested this version which has "through hole" components instead of "surface mount" and would probably be an easier build and looks like it might have more features.
