Introducing Maxitronix 10in1 | In The Lab With Jay Jay

This post is part of my video blog: In The Lab With Jay Jay.

In this video I introduce the Maxitronix 10in1 Electronic Project Lab. This kit has 10 projects which we will be working through in future videos.

I did check out the URL listed on the manual: www.maxitronix.com — but there’s nothing there any more, it is simply listed as for sale. I tried looking in archive.org but I only found some default content from the hosting provider.

Stay tuned for the upcoming projects. If you’re interested in seeing them don’t forget to subscribe!

Also, if you’re interested in getting any of these Maxitronix kits yourself the best place I know to look is on eBay. Let me know if you find them somewhere else!

Announcing Maxitronix Xin1 Projects Feature | In The Lab With Jay Jay

This post is part of my video blog: In The Lab With Jay Jay.

In this video I announce the new “Xin1” feature of the show. In the Xin1 feature we will work through the various Maxitronix electronic project labs that I own. We will be working through the following project kits, one after the other:

  • 10in1
  • 20in1 (actually branded “Sensor Robot 20”)
  • 30in1
  • 59in1 (actually branded “Electronic Digital Recording Laboratory”)
  • 60in1
  • 130in1
  • 200in1
  • 300in1
  • 500in1

That’s 1,309 projects to do!

As I mention in the video each time I start a new project kit I will do an introductory video to cover the front matter in the manual and to give an overview of the projects in the kit. Then I will make one video for every project in the kit. The project videos will be in this form:

  • Project introduction
  • Project construction (in the booth)
  • Demonstration and testing (on the bench)
  • Conclusion and review

And starting today the plan is to have a new video on the channel every day. So let’s see how I go with that! :)

Update 2024-05-10 jj5 – it turns out daily videos were way too ambitious. My new goal is three videos per week. Also standby for updates to the video format, I am thinking I will add a circuit simulation in LTspice and maybe an actual circuit build on a PCB designed in KiCad and manufactured by PCBWay.

If you’re interested in getting any of these Maxitronix kits yourself the best place I know to look is on eBay. Let me know if you find them somewhere else!

Update 2024-05-10 jj5 – I also found many of these kits are available at Altronics.

Full set! 1,283 projects to do…

I think this is just so super duper cool:

I call these, variously, 500in1, 300in1, 200in1, 130in1, 60in1, 30in1, and 10in1. Or, collectively, Xin1.
