The giZZle project initially started as an idea when Gizmo For You just begun standing on its own two feet. After many hours of brain storming and R&D we came up with a simple way of creating electronic circuits which doesn't require any soldering whatsoever and still allows any user to generate a design as complex as he/she likes.

giZZle is a way of assembling schematic designs in a form of puzzle pieces with internally installed components. Each piece can have a component such as a resistor, capacitor or even a motor or a speaker. Each piece can have up to 12 connections which can interact individually with each piece and formulate a circuit.

The heart of the giZZle design is a mechanism which contains a set of springs and brass balls which when touch each other, spring back without loosing a connection. To make sure that there is no loss in a connection we made the internal board touch each brass ball from the top as well as from the bottom. What makes the design affordable is it's simple and modular construction. Each piece is assembled from 3 different PCB's, allowing us to place a component internally without having anything sticking out of the part it self and seal it all with a top cap which is made of the same material.

The Beginner kit was especially assembled with all necessary parts to begin working with it, without additional components. The kit contains 16 giZZle pieces including a battery housing for 4 AA batteries as well as a connector for a 9v battery so that you can choose which one to use in your next project. Even the Box for the kit was especially designed to house it's components and is hand crafted one by one by our hard working team members.
