Find the kit that matches where you are.
Every MSD kit teaches you the circuit — not just how to assemble it. Pick a board at your level, build it, then read the engineering guide that explains why it works. Here's how to get started.
01
Pick a kit at your level
Choose a board graded to your soldering and circuit experience — from through-hole beginner kits to advanced mixed-signal designs. Not sure? Use the level guide below.
02
Build the board
Every kit ships with the PCB and every component you need. Solder it together with the step-by-step assembly section in the guide.
03
Understand the circuit
Then read the 10–49 page engineering guide written by the person who designed the board. You finish knowing why it works — not just that it does.
Not sure where to start? Pick your level.
Each kit is graded by soldering and circuit difficulty. Start where you're comfortable — you can always level up.
