This article was originally published as part of HackSpace magazine, which has since been incorporated into Raspberry Pi Official Magazine.
This tiny soldering kit, with only five components (the PCB, battery holder, switch, and two 3 mm LEDs), is available on Tindie, at the bargain price of just $3.25. It’s your way of getting your hands on a MiG-29 fighter jet – which was introduced in the USSR in 1982 and is still in service around the world – at pocket money price.
The kit is 6 cm long when assembled. The instructions on the PCB are in Dutch, as it’s designed in Belgium for use in Flemish-speaking schools.
A quick intro to Python – short scripts, rapid results.
