Playable electronic modules - modules in action
HendriXML:
Did some checking but even simple connection suggestions are an abstraction. Color coding of the module traces could work, but has disadvantages. Having dashed lines looks alright but dashed lines should be used for other purposes.
The best option IMO would be to use different colors of pinheaders just to show whether the input is digital, analog or passive. The plastic part of the pin header can be replaced without soldering so that can even be done afterwards. But for now I leave it as it is: digital is black :-+
HendriXML:
Maybe I use this indication (XOR gate example) that the signals are digital.
HendriXML:
I think Lego lost the patent cases on their brick format. Otherwise I don’t think you even can be sued for making personal stuff. Mass producing is a different story ;). Or using their logo.
I guess it even is ok to repaint a Rembrandt, just don’t sell it as a Rembrandt one.
So DIY stuff seems ok to me.
nctnico:
In the Netherlands you can buy these brick-like electronics / electricity experimenting sets called 'Spektro':
Cyberdragon:
Yes, there are plenty of electronics kits out there. (We call those ones Snap-Circuits here by Elenco). There's also tons of "springboard" kits out there, some of which include breadboards and even one with a microprocessor. There's also one's with magnets, ones with clip together modules, and all kinds of stuff.
There is a website with a list of every electronics building toy ever made, but I'll have to find it. (NOTE: IDK how many of them will still be in production).
